How do keep a conversation going?

[benlodge123]

Ok, so i started talking to a girl. The way start talking to them is first over message and then in person. The messaging part helps me find stuff out about them. Then when the ice is broken a bit, i move onto in person ie: School, town.

But i found that i have trouble keeping the conversation going.
Any way i can keep it going? Im ok at the general Hey, How are you?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Peace Out!

Ask leading questions:

What do you think about...?
What was best about....?
What would you do if....?

Avoid yes or no questions or questions that can be answered in one word. Avoid talking about yourself unless you're asked. Guys tend to talk about themselves way too much.

How do you talk to your male friends, siblings or parents?

Girls aren't a seperate species because they have different body parts O.o. Just talk to them like you would a normal friend and you'll be fine. Conversation comes down to finding points of interest and discussing them. Questions stem from a desire to know answers. If you have no interesting anecdotes try reading more on current affairs, technology, etc. Whatever interests you. If you have nothing you want to know about the person you are talking to, then why are you interested in talking to them? O.o

Things to avoid are being creepy or too personal at inappropriate times. Nobody likes that. Find links in what is being said to stories you've heard, or if it's something new that sounds interesting say so. Learn. Grow.

If you have zero curiousity or care for other people, or you're really boring and watch paint dry all day, that is when you would have difficulty. See how much you have to talk about compared to that?
