有些時候對話呢是開頭易，結尾難。藉由肢體傳達，像是運用眼神、微笑、握手，還有說再見，讓對話結束更有親和力。還有一種方式就是取得對允許，給人良好印象，並且告知對方繼續保持聯繫。

肢體語言通常可以禮貌地結束一場對話。例如：你可以經常看手錶還是準備將包包肩上，如果都行不通，你可以停止發問。一般我們可以說"I’d better let you go"(你可以離開了)，讓對方能夠開心的離開。

這裡提供一個情境Jerry與Tom正在交談，但是Tom即將要去開會。

Jerry: Hey Tom, how are you?(Jerry嗨，Tom，你好嗎？)

Tom: I'm good! Thank you for asking! (Tom：我很好！謝謝你的關心！)

Jerry: I can't believe you fell on your face yesterday. (Chuckling) (Jerry：我無法相信昨天你跌得狗吃屎。(笑著))

Tom: Neither can I, but what can I say, my laces were untied. (Tom：我也是，我能說什麼？鞋帶沒綁好。)

Jerry: (Laughing) But that explains why you fell so hard. You got up so quickly though, that was even more hilarious. It was like watching a James Bond movie gone wrong. (Jerry：(哈哈)你跌得還不輕，更好笑得是你立即站起來，就像是007電影爆笑版。)

Tom: (Looks at the watch) I was hoping no one saw me! (Tom：(看一下手錶)我希望沒有人在看我！)

Jerry: Are you kidding? We all saw you! What were you thinking not tying your shoelaces? (Jerry：你開玩笑，我們都看到了！你為什麼沒綁鞋帶呢？)

Tom: Listen, sorry, I would love to chat with you but I have a meeting to get to. (Tom：聽著，不好意思，我很想跟你聊下去，但是我要去開會了。)

Jerry: Ok I'll see you soon then, I hope the meeting goes well. (Jerry：好的，待會見，希望會議順利。)

Tom: Me too!! (Tom：我也希望！！)

誠實為成功之母，人們都能理解，如果你能適時告訴他們該結束對話。
