so i can't start a good conversation with the person i like. it sucks because i would say something, he would say something and we would stand there awkwardly. we are both introverted. he laughs when i say things but never seem to talk to me, but he always say hi (insert my real name) to me in a cheerful manner and smiles. i think it's cute lol he's really nice but maybe it's because we ignore each other. i really don't know how to approach him, and start a converstation it feels like, if we talk, i don't know what to say after when i say hi and some other stuff to him. :eusa_doh: *offtopic* i could of gotten the chance to hold his hand today because for band camp we were in a circle. we were playing a game and the director told us to stand by someone we don't know. well i kinda knew him and he scooted to the side giving me room to stand by him but i didn't and durring the middle of the game we held hands in a circle. i held hands with someone else not him and after the game i thought about it and i could of held his hand if i would of stand next to him. AWWWW alsdfjaksvhaishdiovfa *headdesk* sorry want to let it out lol. *end offtopic*
You should try to find out something that you have in common, that will make it easier to start a conversation. You said your in band? Talk about instruments, music, band directors..just something to get the convo moving.
yeh usually finding some common ground is useful, like theres this guy in my tutor who is a nice guy, but it was always hard to start a conversation with him, but eventually i found out he likes cars, so these days its easy to start the conversation, saying like did u see top gear, what u think of that new lambo, or summin stupid like that, i dunno if that helps, but hope things get better
Small talk can be amazingly difficult for me. I just don't generally get it, but I guess its because I don't really do sports or shit that seems to be the mainstay of smalltalk. Plus I seem to just generally suck at interaction with others.
You are both in band camp right? open with that. If you find yourself in one of those akward silences, try using a joke to about the silence. Trust me it works.
It can be really difficult to speak to someone if you like them and especially if you are both introverted. I am quite introverted too and in the past on occassion I had dated extravert guys because it was easier to take a back seat. Maybe what you could try is find things in common to talk about like how the day is going and once that has started ask open questions such as "what do you think of..." and this gets the conversation going as they can't generally answer yes or no. Also, keep in mind when they have said their bit you can let them know what you think too so it isn't like an interview! Hope this helps. Mk
just talk to him. dont think about it, just let it happen. itll work out. and boy, if i got the chance to hold the hand of the guy i like, u better believe i would!
And if the conversation is going downhill or is at a standstill, just look over his shoulder with concern and utter, "Woah, is that guy okay?". When he turns to look, just run away. Actually, that may not help... Maybe offer to give him a high-five? Wow, I'm really bad at conversations, I'm starting to realize.
