breaking the ice on facebook
my friend sort of likes this girl and only can communicate to her (in a non-sketchy way.. note: AIM & texting - thats too early) is through facebook wall-to-walls. so, what should they talk about thats not too awkward? right now, theyre stuck at
"whats up?"
"homework, you?"
(: thanks.

There's a lot of ways two people can break the ice on Facebook. It's a social network! Your friend needs to be more creative. Ask the girl what her favorite part of the website is. Ask her how long she's been on Facebook and if it's her favorite social network. If she prefers Twitter, then your friend can say something like, "Oh I have Twitter too." Then they might start talking about Twitter vs. Facebook. The girl might even ask the guy to follow her on Twitter or if your friend is feeling bold he can ask her. Maybe they might start discussing how much Myspace sucks now. That'll open up a lot of opportunities for conversation.
Ask her if she plays games on Facebook - if so, ask her which ones. Your friend can take or fake an interest in those games. Surprise her and send her an app request. Girls love to take quizzes. Find out what her five favorite summer movies are or what her ultimate playlist would look like. You'll definitely get a feel of what this girl's into if you do a bit of digging and talk about what she likes. Once your friend knows these things, he or she can take it from there. Maybe your friend will find out that her favorite band is Paramore and they happen to be playing in a city near you in three weeks. Ask if she's going. Get the conversation away from Facebook after awhile.
If the girl doesn't respond often or she doesn't add a lot to the conversation, she's probably too busy or uninterested. I hope this helps!

Video may have killed the radio star but Texing killed the conversationist. Have they got a web Cam with Skype that gives you a visual at least.
texing is time consuming can they land line phone each other? that would get the conversation rolling and productive at least I know this is a bit old fashioned but it really works well.
People who talk about the weather have nothing to talk about unless they study metorology.
What, where, when, how & why are all good questions starters that will get people talking if the answer is limited say "more information" or "please do go on". one has to be interested in the conversation so topics of interest will work better than uninteresting stuff. hope this helps
