I've played both roles. lol And that sounds about right, Mystic. 
I think that if you just be yourself, share your experiences, that's all that really matters to the 'dialogue.' If converting people is what you mainly seek, you might end up disappointed because in truth, people tend to come to or leave faith, all on their own. In Christianity, Jesus tells His followers 'Go and make disciples of all nations,' but even He stresses to them that if people don't accept your stories as truthful, then keep moving. Not to battle, and argue over the points. Not that you do that, I'm just giving you that as a reference.
If faith is meaningful to you, then it doesn't matter if others believe you or not.
