Not knowing to say

[Motty]

Hey guys, there's this girl I like. And when ever I'm near her all my friends are around and I just can't talk to her. So it's very rare I get to talk to her.

But when I do get to talk to her we don't say much we are just like "hey" and then it just ends, she leaves because there's nothing to say.

Basically, I don't know how to carry the conversation on, I get stuck and we give up. Any advice on keeping the conversation going?

Thanks.

I have this retarded part in me that's generally pushing me to talk about the most random shit ever, resulting in the self-portrayal of a bad image. Don't do that, bro.
Random conversation starters like "Hey, so...I like bread. Wbu?" are bad.

For me, this applies with everyone; not just girls. People end up getting annoyed and then I get depressed at myself.
I wish I had advice on this.

You know that part of a conversation when it just changes to a new topic with the help of the older conversation? I guess you could just start a simple conversation like "So, what do you plan on doing in the weekends? I plan on...(exciting shit that you'll do) And what about you?" and then when she answers you, for example with "I'll go biking with some friends.", then you could tell her about your view on biking, bikes, etc that sorta shit.
If she answers you "I have no plans yet." then you just tell her your plans and try to evolve it by yourself.

Haven't tried this shit myself. Someday, when I'm not afraid from people I might do this IRL. Until then, I can only practice this on the internet so FML.

Randomness is only cute and quirky on TV. In real life it just makes you a creep, and awkward.

Are you referring to my post, since I did not suggest to the OP to be like me?
This hurts, but it's the sad truth. Creeps got feelings too. Creeps know they're creeps and they know when they're trying to hint others on how not to be weirdo's.

Yes, I was validating your suggestion

randomness is cute to some girls. Don't act like someone you're not.
you could just say "hey, how are you?" maybe that'll get the conversation going. It does for me when it comes to guys

People are easy to read. If you're trying to be someone you're not, people will easily notice and then you're fucked. The OP just needs to chill when talking to that person, so he's more comfortable when engaging with her. Either way, he has to risk if he wants some progress.

Also, nothing's gonna happen if you just wait and plan your move by heart. It's okay to know what you're doing, just don't get any ideas that it's all going to go the way it is in your head. But don't let that discourage you.

It's a good idea to have more than two questions to start a conversation.
"How are you?" is good but it depends if the other person is in the mood to really answer it. If it's a straightforward answer like "Okay." then that's bad lol. Which is why trying with multiple questions to start a conversation is a good idea.

Thanks guys. From what I've gathered, just try and relax, and not actually plan on anything to say. Just kinda be like hey, see what she says then say something else like what happened during the day, anything funny, memories?

Thanks.

Ask questions. People like to talk about themselves and it shows you like them. Think up a lot of questions that can't be answered with yes or no.
