mrcalifornia Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 i, i need some advice on how to start conversations and keep them going. currently i am a high school senior in california and have been in in about 15 different schools throughout my life. one thing that i am sure of now is that i don't have any social skills at all. for some reasons in high school it has been hard to make close friends. at first i thought that maybe me not having a girlfriend was because maybe i had didn't look hot so i tried to correct the problem by building lots of muscle, finding treatments that actually kill acne, and many more different stuff. what i have now learned is that it's not the looks that'll get you a girl, it's how you talk to them and that's what I am lacking. it is kind of hard to think that i am a senior in hs and still have not had a date yet. i tried online dating and had many matches and with rating sites i always come in the top 5 percent, but when i talk with them on the phone, I can't keep conversations flowing. the advice i am curius to what you guys talk about when you call or meet a girl? also, since i am new to the city that i am living in, where are good places for me to hangout and meet new people?

fallslikerain Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 you just have to give it time. Are you saying anything that is inadvertantly turning girls off? I would recommend joining some clubs or activities in your school, its a great way to meet new friends and whatnot. Link to comment

skyteph Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Try to relax! Say hi, keep it simple at first, maybe talk about something you have in common, or an observation you've made and once you begin to get to know people start making the conversations a bit more complex and in-depth.
