BBHFutureAllAmerican Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 My friends tell me that i do really well talking to women (which i think i do too) and i can keep the conversation easily going, focused mainly on her, and pick up the hints that lead to the next topic, but my problem is, i can't usually start the conversation, which sometimes brings trouble, and even after a half an hour-hour i run out of things to say period, please help Link to comment
KissMe_KillMe Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Be Yourself... act like you would with ur friends... i know this sounds repetitive..right? Link to comment
Managor Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 The good thing about starting conversations with strangers is that you have absolutely nothing to lose. As for keeping the conversation going, perhaps try and think up some more conversation boosters before the night out. Read up on some interesting current events or try and memorise some jokes or something along those lines. Link to comment
easyguy Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yeah, starting the conversation can be tough. But keep note of your environment, the venue you two are at. Bring up something related to that. Completely non-threatening, and once you get the ball rolling, change direction (as you seem to be good at). Because unless you two are standing on a double plane grid with nothing but lines, you shouldn't have to think too hard to think of something to say. Link to comment
yeawutever Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yea it does happen, after an hour it gets kinda weird and you feel you can't go on anymore. I got better in iniciating convos, then after a while I ran out fo thing and it gets silent for a while, until I just make up wutever and the convo starts again. Try BSing it and just be yourself.

shadowcat Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 yeah starting conversations are hard for me also, im still struggling in that area i hope to become better at it some day Link to comment
randiandriien Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Sometimes when I feel like I run out of things to say, I try to build from what I've learned about that person..maybe talk about something they mentioned earlier...in the form of a question of course! Link to comment
librarychick Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I love starting conversations with some odd comment. "Yeah... so I'm really glad my parole officer let me come out tonight." (I can totally get away with that because I'm a 5 ft tall chick who looks about as dangerous as Cookie Monster. Or if I'm trying to hit on someone I use one of those standard cheesy pick-up lines. "So... come here often?" Both break the ice and get people smiling. If you're not comfortable with that here's a tip from my waitressing experience: I need to quickly make people feel at ease with me. (My lively-hood depends on it!) What works for me most of the time is taking to a stranger like I've known them for years. Link to comment
yummy Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Just try to be funny like nothing serious about the conversation so that the two of you will feel very comfortable. Just be yourself don't ever pretend.. Or you can also focus on her interests.. ask questions about it. link removed Link to comment
