Conversation is a two way street. Awkward silence generally means the two respective parties trying to communicate have little in common. Loosen up and go with the flow. Relax and let your true self shine. Nobody wants to talk to a wall. Open up and share what's really going on behind that facade and you'll go far. i always be myself =], i'm shy, but i warm up quickly depending who you are. I always try to make a laugh, as it says in my profile, but it just doesn't seem that humor enlightens her =\, idk i could be wrong i did just start talking to her. And to HellKitten: I have a lot more confidence than what i use to have, trust me!! =]. I'm just inexperienced when it comes to talking to girls that i may possibly like, i guess, lol. Anyawys, i keep my options open, yuh know? If one doesn't work out, there's more fish in that invisible tank i got next to that nice stack of $100 dollar bills =P |

It helps if you have things in common, same movies, music, food, etc. Maybe you're both in school? Both hate rain? I don't know, it just helps if you have common ground. If you're too different from someone, it does make the conversation difficult. I had to stop talking to a guy (not from this site) because he was boring. All he did was criticize his family and agree with everything I said. Which means he was stupid and boring. Anyway, good luck to you, if she's not the one, hopefully you can find someone else. Cheers. funny thing is we got quite a bit in common. one issue is she can barely hear me (stupid phone!), and another issue i find with people is that their "true colors" don't show until after a little while of talking. She seemed really cool at first, but after a while it just seemed she was a bit more...moody i guess you can say. not sure what to make of it. |

I've been in contact with this girl from on here, and I told her already that I'm shy and at time i just don't know what to talk about. Apparently she said it's not working for her or for me, but she seems really cool.
Why is it so hard to find something to talk about? Any suggestions on how to keep a conversation going? |

Stick to your guns of what you prefer if your friends do not respect that then they are not your true friends. which is exactly what i told them. they called me "stupid" and "not fun" for not drinking, and doing drugs, and i just said that i actually enjoy my life, not throw it out the window.... but hey like you said, that's them and i'm me. i chose to be this way because my parents raised me right. i want them to know they can have one child they can be proud of =]. |

not drinking. i made a promise to myself not to drink or smoke or do drugs or anything like that in my life, and my brothers (who do drink) said the real test was when i turned 21. It wasn't easy with everyone just putting alcohol in my face, but i lived up to that promise and i've gotten over that hump. it feels good to be 21, now i hope my birthday wish of a girlfriend comes true (no, that wasn't the one i wished for blowing out my candles, i can't tell you that one! hehe!). why do people find it so hard that others don't drink or smoke or do anything, though? It's like it's a crime O.o i don't drink and it was easy for me to avoid drinking when i turned 21.of course my brother in law did make me buy him a 12 pack on my birthday though my idiot friend expects me to buy him alcohol now that i'm "of age". i told him i'd kick his arse before i bought him beer :P |

It's like it's a crime O.o sounds like you was very tempted if it wasnt easy with drinks in your face, so your not "over that hump" yet. your only 21 and you got MANY more years of temptation to go through ok so i guess i wasn't "tempted", but just having them shoved in my face was like "ok just do one so they leave you alone", then i knew i had to be strong, esp. for the people who supported me in my decision not to. You're welcome.smile flowerforyou Does it feel good to be 21? no....means i got responsibilities now....haha just playin'. yeah, and it's the one time i actually felt i turned the age. unlike when i turned 13, 16, 18, and 20. i actually FEEL 21, and its a good feeling :) |
