What happens when you don’t ask follow up questions?
Without follow-up questions, you and your conversation partner will end up asking and responding to a series of questions without ever talking in-depth about any particular topic—which will feel awkward. Follow-up questions keep the conversation moving forward and allow for clarification and elaboration of details.
