Okay well there's this guy that I really like. And he really likes me too. But the only problem is I don't talk. Like we'll be on the phone.. and I can never think of anything to say. He always says the "how was your day" basic things so I can never say those. And then when I say weird off-the-wall things he's like "uhhh okay?" so there is nothing to talk about. WHAT CAN I DOOOO????
phatdopelove answered Friday July 20 2007, 3:48 pm: Awwe yall both shy. Maybe to help loosening up is to not talk on the phone. Some people feel awkward and don't like on the phone at all so instead have another way of communicating like AIM or YAHOO talk on the computer. Most people feel comfortable that way than talking on the phone. And when you do talk ask questions, that are NOT only one worded answers like yes and no. Doing this can help strengthen a conversation and leave out an awkward silent moment. Also, don't ask alot of questions this can make a person feel uncomfortable, what you want is to make them feel that you are a comfortable person to talk to. And the best best thing is to lighten up relax, yall have a sense of humor? Use it, don't be afraid to, it helps the tension between you two go away. Say something funny, or just imagine him naked lol that works for me. Then he'll ask what are you laughing about, tell him. Use questions that can tell a story, I'm sure he he'll have his own story. Like your most embarrasing moment, or something funny happened to you. Oh yeah, maybe yall should plan to go out to the movies together, see a comedy, then yall could talk about it in the end. Hope this helps. [ phatdopelove's advice column | Ask phatdopelove A Question ]

You're probably just really nervous talking to him, and you don't want to say the wrong thing, which is making you uncomfortable. First, you should realize that he's human, he's not some "God", and who you are is who you are. He needs to be able to accept you, the good, the bad, and the ugly if you want a real relationship.
Then think of conversation starters, like tell him something that happened in your day. Something extremely funny, or talk about a teacher you don't like, or you want next year. Talk about how disgusting the cafeteria food is, you can talk about how you're sad that your favorite show is ending.
jennuhhx answered Friday July 20 2007, 3:31 pm: ok i had the same problem. but to tell you the truth. if you cant find anything to talk about, maybe your only attracted to each other, not really for the personality if you have nothing to talk about. tell him that you think the conversations you have are boring. that you want to talk about more things. and if nothing happens, stop talking on the phone as much. talk more in person, it will be less awkward. i hope it helps :] [ jennuhhx's advice column | Ask jennuhhx A Question ]
