it's really simple...be yourself. we always try too hard to impress. thinking of some clever shit to say and such. leaving us speechless at the time you most need to be yourself. or just talk about music. works for me.....

if it's a stranger, a simple "hello, my name is ______" (your supposed to insert your name into the blank, unless your name is ______) will be a good way to start. a comment like a "that's a lovely dress you're wearing" may imply that you've been wooing over her for some time.
if it is someone that you know, it is good to be up on your current events, because talking with them about friends will not only give you subject matter but also help you to see issues from other perspectives and may reveal your own preconceptions if you are observant of yourself.

Is this about a potential mrs castro?? heh not as such. it is a girl, but i'm not chasing her or anything. its just every time i talk to her, the conversation is pretty bad, and we end up having to resort to talking about school, and since i get the train with her, i need to find a common ground. i wasnt really looking for advice...more just your own personal experiences or whatever. |

i'm glad that you all enjoyed a laugh from my assanine comment. to go back to serious advice:
NEVER use the following to strike up conversation with new people:
1)weather
2)politics
3)religion
4)dungeons and dragons (and GOD do I love D&D)
these will all result in ultimate failure

Post by Rubberneck on May 9, 2006 1:53:06 GMT -5
well, let me lay it out for you...
Scenario: para sees lovely mistress across the fjord and is determined to court her
Conversation:
para: I say, good lady, the sun doth shine upon your golden locks in a light that would shame athena herself on this lovely day of destiny
mistress: What the fuck? Did you just come from a renaissance fair or something?
para: Nay, keeper of my heart! Woe unto me for thou art more admirable than all the flowers of the fields, and your pollen has breached the sinuses of my love!
mistress: Whatever...
para: I say, that cloud appears as if it were in the shape of a puppy. What do you say, my love?
mistress: No.
para (desperately searching for a different topic but realizing that talking about the weather leads to no transition to continue a conversation): HOORAY FOR LOVE!
mistress then files restraining order, later charges para with sexual misconduct, etc etc...we all know the story from there. and that's why you shouldn't use the weather to strike up conversation with a stranger

rubberneck is right.
Talk about your hobbies, basically. Don't be afraid to seem ridiculously enthusiastic about some things. If she doesn't dig your interests, forget it. You don't have to make conversation with people you don't have anything in common with or don't get on. That's shite society rules in your head. if you have ntohing to say, and don't want to particularly cos theyre not you type, don't bother, move on.
