"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."
I'm an optimist. I can find the beauty in anything. I'm creative. I love spontaneity, peace, & parties. I'm the farthest thing from shy. There's not one person on this earth that I don't care about. I like deep conversations, change, & random acts of kindness. Every emotion I feel is ten times as strong as yours. I have alot of empathy for other people. I'm real open minded & liberal. All I want to do is make at least one person's life a little easier. :D
advice
I've known this guy for about two weeks or so, and recently we've been talking a bit more than we normally do. Well, he told me I was boring. Yes, it's offensive to a point, but I'm afraid that I may come across as boring. When I first start talking to a person I'm not totally comfortable, so I can't think of anything to say, but I don't want to bore him away before I get a chance to become comfortable.
When I'm with my friends I can be very talkative, but I'm just awful at coming up with things to talk about. My conversations always involve a lot of awkward silences. It's awful. =(
Any advice on what to say/do or conversation starters, etc.?
Dude, I never run out of things to talk about. I can start up a conversation with anyone about anything. You just gotta learn to think less and say more. :D Or maybe I'm just impulsive. That's probably it, but anyway.
Things to talk about:
-How you're somewhat shy.
-How you start talking more once you get to know someone better.
-Your taste in music, his taste in music.
-Favorite songs, favorite bands.
-Your day, his day.
-Your weekend, his weekend.
-School, teachers, work.
-Your opinion on drugs, alcohol, etc.
-Favorite movies, new movies that are out.
-Mutual friends, mutual enemies.
-Your family, his family.
-Your problems, his problems.
-Talk about hanging out.
-Volunteering, clubs, sports.
-Finals.
-What you like to do, what he likes to do.
-What you've gone through, what he's gone through.
-What you're doing for Christmas break, what he's doing for christmas break.
You've just gotta be opinionated. Don't worry if he thinks you're "weird." He won't, it shows confidence. Just be open. It won't be viewed as weird. It'll just be thought of as friendly. :D
Good luck! Hope I helped!
