deathwillcome answered Sunday October 9 2005, 11:47 am: It sounds like you are nervous. All you have to do is remember that he is nervous to, you not talking makes him even more nervous because then he has to come up with something to say. You should pretend that it isn't a date and that you are just best friends hanging out. You will be more open and you will be your self, which is a bonous! I hope I helped and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice if you did. Thanks! [ deathwillcome's advice column | Ask deathwillcome A Question ]

It's hard to explain. You kind of just do it. You go to the guy, and force yourself to say something. It takes a lot of bravery, and just remember that you are doing it for your own good.
Try to get a good conversation starter. It always helps. For once you can get a conversation started, it is much easier to talk. Maybe politics, or music, or life in general. Those tend to generate a lot of discussion, at least for me... [ sbloemeke's advice column | Ask sbloemeke A Question ]
