Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 6:04 pm
i just got a new boy friend(he asked me out today...) and before he asked me out we were really good friends and we would say hi and stuff.....
but anyway, so he asked me out today and i said yes but now it's like really awkward to talk. it's like we don't really no what to talk about.
So, do you have any conversation starters or things we could talk about?
it it helps im 13/f
just talk about school, friends, make fun of the teachers, what you're gonna do over the break, if you guys wanna get together sometime this weekend, etc.
just if you two stop talking, say, "ughh, sorry if i'm not talking much. i don't really know what to say." & then kind of laugh or something. [ xY0M0MMAx's advice column | Ask xY0M0MMAx A Question ]

The things i would talk about are what you like, and your hobbies, and stuff you like. Be comfortable talking to him. If your not comfortable talking to him, then u shouldn't be going out with him. I'm sure you will be fine.
i hope this helps. [ ccupcake07's advice column | Ask ccupcake07 A Question ]

My guy friend (lets call him billy) absoulutely loved my best friend (lets call her ariana). For months I think he pined for her, telling me everything. So I finally got fed up and fixed the two up, encouraging Ariana to date him even though she didn't really like him. This was her first boyfriend.
Things seemed good, online at least where they IMed each other.
Than the next day, there was a party which would be their first outing as boyfriend/girlfriend.
I think it was the most awkward thing I've ever seen. They said hey, they sat next to each other when we ate, and they said goodbye. That was basically it. We all tried to push them together, but it just didnt work.
They broke up the next day.
Dont let that happen!
Make the first move when you see your guy. Grab his hand, put his arm around your waist, give him a peck on the cheek, etc. Talk about what you would usually talk about. A funny conversation is a good way to break the ice. Being together should bring you closer, not farther apart.
If you really cannot make things less awkward, talk to him. Just bring it up. Maybe you can even end the conversation with a kiss :)
Don't let your friends interfere. Thye mean well, but might just make it even more awkward.
If it really really really doesn't work
maybe you two were just meant to be friends. There has to be a connection between you two, mentally and physcially.

Talk about how you day was, your weekend plans, or just anything really that pops into your head. Don't feel afraid to embarrass yourself in front of your new boyfriend, because your boyfriend can also be your best friend. Be yourself and if he doesn't like that, that's a mistake on his part. And if he's a little shy around you, don't feel like it has to end. He's probably just feeling the same as you.
