Ask how his day went.
What all he did.
Any interesting happen?
If he says something that reminds you about something funny or cute that has happened to you- tell him.
Tell a joke- it may spark something interesting.
Play 20 questions.
Ask him what he's thinking.
Random topics can be fun.
solidadvice4teens answered Thursday August 2 2007, 9:32 pm: Tell him that it has nothing at all to do with him but you have never been comfortable talking to anyone on the phone. Even if that's a bit of a white lie do it.
Let him know you prefer face to face or IM over the phone as you always have a hard time thinking of good things to say or that are intelligent. Tell him you can't stand awkward silences.
Guys like to talk about sports, music, cars etc. Figure out his interests and focus on them as well as your common interests and see if you can stretch a conversation out.
Another thing that would work is to go home and jot down things you want to ask him so when he calls you'll have a lot of material you can cover together on the phone. So what if you have to write out questions and read them? He won't know.
If you let him know and joke about it that you feel awkward and not at all good on the phone it will be okay. Maybe he'll help work you through this until you become confident.
Remember to think of him like anyone else you talk to and treat it like that as that may help you loosen up. Just remember no matter what he's not going to dump you or ridicule you over this. A lot of people hate phone conversations. You aren't alone. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
