me-hey !! --act ubeat,smile!

---awkward silence
^ aviod them! instead say
me-whats goin on? (or hows life?)
him- nuthin really, (good,you?) (bad)
me-yeah, same here,kinda bored (mines ok)(why?)
akward silence
^aviodd.
him-did you do your math homework(okay he asks this question like every day, but its about different subjects) < that means he wants to talk to you still!
me-oh crap! (i get out my book)
(i do my homework)
--awkward silence
instead of the silence
me-do you get this? (or if you get it, did you finish yours?)
him- yeah (no hah)
me-did you win your game last night?
him-no
me-who'd you play
him-saint paper of pens(fake name..duh :])

--awkward silence
^ nope :] say
me- oh i want to go to one,whens the next home game?
him- blahblahlbah (lol its _____ ) (idk)
me- i'll deffinatly be there :] are you guys good? or " you should find out,cause i've never been to one of your games beforr"
him- yeah your should go.
me- well i g2g i'll talk to you later,bye!
its always good for you to end it at first,and also start small. then when you open up more and share things,it'll get better
are you kidding?! i think he likes you at least as a potential friend that could later be something more! hes having as much as a hard time as you are starting comvos.
[[okay im telling a really long story..and i just ended it]]
me-hhaha
him-haha i was counting the times you said "and i was like" and it was 52 times!
--awkward silence
^ instead..
me- ahhh sorryy lol its a habit...i should stop. did you even pay attension to the story?
him- no sorryy... (yeah i did)
me- ok,i'll try to say it this time with out daying "like" (what did i say?)
him- hahah (um you said ---)
me- hah well i g2g meet ___ so i'll see you around.
just act like hes another girl,but different looking,and smile,be sweet and a little bossy. :]
im sorry if i didnt help,i tried. i hope i gave you some pointers,if you need more convo. starters or something i'll try and give you more in my inbox,but remember just let it flow,no conversation can be planned hah.The reason your afraid to aproach him is because you like him as a crush,right? well think of him as a new friend :] good luck!

AuntieEm answered Friday January 26 2007, 8:36 pm: talk to him how you would any other guy friend; that way it wont be awkward...
AuntieEm answered Friday January 26 2007, 8:02 pm: haha well first off; dont worry about it too much...
so dont sweat it and be yourself.
for example; if you are talking about whatever sport he plays; say "maybe i can come to your next game? cheer you on :]"
and with the long story thing and the "like"
i have actually had a guy say that to me when i told him a story over the phone (my count was like 40 in 15 minutes or something haha)
just be like "haha shut up!"
dont be afraid to joke around with him.
do you have guy friends you talk to? well treat it the exact same way! and remeber that guys are just as nervous as us talking to girls; i have plenty of guy friends that have told me so [ AuntieEm's advice column | Ask AuntieEm A Question ]
peebles7 answered Friday January 26 2007, 8:00 pm: ok well he might not like you, but if you really want to get to know him better and talk to him, i suggest questions that are more open ended, so that he won't just say yes or no and then the conversation is over, like "how'd the game go?" and follow it up with"how did you play?" instead of just did you win or something. ask other questions that you are honestly curious to ask him so that it seems more genuine and you can have an honest conversation, i hope this helps a little, just try it and if he isn't responding at all like he likes you then move on, it's not worth your time trying to get to know someone who doesn't put in effort to get to know you as well [ peebles7's advice column | Ask peebles7 A Question ]
