Awkward? Amusement Part with Guys


Question Posted Wednesday June 20 2007, 9:00 pm

16/f

Two of my best friends (girls) and I invited a guy to an amusement park for Friday. We asked him to bring a couple of other guys, and we won`t know one of them. They all play hockey and one is a professional in the WHL which is kind of exciting (and they just won the Memorial Cup - if you follow).

We almost never talked to the guy we invited at school because things were just always really weird because he can get shy. Other than talking about hockey, how do we make it less awkward?

Any conversation tips, good topics to bring up with guys you don`t really know, or anything like that is a lot of help! We will be together for at least seven hours there, and might go to a bonfire that night (which will be fine since other people are there).

Also, when we are each with a guy on a ride, how do we make that one-on-one situation not awkward? I don`t scream on rides, which is good but if we have nothing to talk about we`re basically strapped in for the whole awkward ride.

Haha it seems so unnatural to ask this, but please help! Any insight would be great. Thanks =)

I would use talking about hockey as a starting point. Then much like you would with your friends ask him about his interests, hobbies, goals, what they want to do after highschool.

That should lead to a long conversation. seeing as you are at an amusement park ask them about their favorite and not so favorite rides. Also ask about movies, videogames and if you are bold what they like in a girl.

You have to treat talking to them as no different than anyone else. The only difference is you might get a boyfriend out of it at the end of the day.

As far as being on rides the only thing they'll be doing is screaming and or swearing. Sitting next to them and saying nothing and or screaming is typically the only response to have while up there on a coaster.

They won't judge you for that as long as you talk to them off of the ride. You'll do fine as long as you just talk to them without even thinking about it.

Well, I would think an amusement park wouldn't be awkward. You don't have to talk on a ride, most people I know are too busy going "Weeeee....OMG This is SO fun!!!!" just talk about the ride you are on, which ones you liked best, which ones you hated, anything.
