conversation starters
whenever i'm meeting someone i don't know, i have the hardest time keeping a conversation! i'm really outgoing and friendly, but most of the time i just don't know what to talk about and we end up standing there in this awkward silence. any tips / suggestions?? thanks!!

Current events are great, usually everyone has an opinion.
When the winter olympics were going on, I found that just saying "have you been watching the olympics?" was a nice conversation starter. Even people who said they weren't watching would end up saying "I heard that ski person slipped and was on one leg for a few seconds but he made it..I also heard of that woman who celebrated too early before the finish line and someone else won!"

you can start by asking them about their families and schools, and if they say something that relates to you, then tell them how. Soon you will probably start laughing about stories that have happened to you and things will loosen up.
hope i helped♥

Ok so there's not total silence don't worry to much about what to say thats what keeps you from talking. Try to be random and losen up. Be funny and outgoing on your conversation. Here's the thing thow don't talk to much about yourself let the other person talk to ask him/her what they like to do, talk about some things they have intrest in. I like to be random i say something thats funny and doesnt really have to do with anything but most importanly be yourself. Have great conversation.

Start talking about something you're intereseted in, or something that you have an opinion about and ask their opinion. For example, I really like animals, so I'd start talking about my pets and if they had any pets, etc. See, if you start talking about something you have an opinion about, or like, then you'll have a lot to say, that will automatically come to mind so you don't have to really think to hard.

Oh i know what you mean i hate when the conversation just fades like that into this akward silence thing. Ok anyways the way to fix it is by just thinking about what the person likes or dislikes, if the person is an aquintance and goes to school with you, then you can just talk about their classes and sports they do/take. Or if the person is like an adult then you can talk about their kids (that takes FOREVER) just whoever it is think about what they would like to talk about, then mention it casually and there you go a conversation starter. If the conversation starts to die down then make a joke out of it, like if i'm with guy friends and we have nothing to talk about i just say GOD NOT ANOTHER AKWARD SILENCE, then we all start laughing and its gone! good luck and try not to think to much when your talking ust let it flow naturally!
