small talk with opposite sex..

Melrose said:
I was once friends with the the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. We got along well, and I was not nervous at all talking to her. She was Italian, short, blonde, tan, beautiful... She liked me, but apparently not quite enough. She moved in with a big black guy, then from what I heard took up with another black guy, and I think one more. She had a thing for big black guys. I'm not being racist because I couldn't care less but at the time it seemed odd. Also she said she liked older men. Well she had her fill of black guys and now she's with a short, goobery, pimply white guy. I have no idea what went wrong.

My point is, you never know whether it'll work out or not. But, at least if you talk to her and it doesn't you won't spend the rest of your life wondering what if... Actually, that wasn't related to my story above at all. :confused:

Pretty girls are people too. Just go up and talk. The nervousness will go away after a couple times.

...and once again, Abstract, mi amigo, you have made me laugh. :D

I was just trying to be as creepy as the guy I quoted. :p I wasn't sure if it was a real suggestion or not, but it was funny. To me.

Besides, it would have been funnier if I related "small talk" with "Why don't you talk about your penis?"

In that case, depending on the man, it may have been very small talk :D
 
I talked to her, actually I was grilled by a whole entire group and she was in it. It was mostly girls. Friends that were sitting near said some were flirting with me, is that good or bad in HER eyes...? I didn't flirt back with them.

It was nice though. It took a lot of courage to do it, but it was cool to finally just be like: here I am, speaking. haha.

Any more tips for the next few convos? One friend was saying some absurd things, calling me annoying and asking straight stupid questions. Any tips for that?

"It this baptism by fire, from your friends??"

"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition, especially from friends!!"

"I hope we can speak further, without the peanut gallery." :p
 
if shes texting someone, go up to her and tell her that you didn't get the text.

one of two things will happen. she either laughs, and will give you her number, or she will just look at you blankly and tell you to jack off. away from her of course.
 
when you catch her looking at you next time look back, but give her a look that makes you look interested, then after church go speak to her make small talk and eventually it will progress to you getting her number. :cool:

always works for me excluding the church part
 
Helps to be well hydrated - drink a coffee too. You don't want to be overly caffeined up, but enough that you are alert and able to respond with "interesting" chat.

End of the day, if you talk and find there's awkward moments with no chat, then maybe she isn't the girl for you.
 
You: "Hey, can I get your number?"
Girl: "I don't know about that...I'm not sure I wanna give you my phone number."
You: "No no no, haha, I think you misunderstood me. I meant your sleep number...I just wanna make sure you're comfortable when you come over tonight."

Good luck! :D
 
Someone earlier said to ask about her and that is the best answer. The more you get to know about her the more directions you have to take the conversation. Start small and innocent, but as the coversation progresses you can get more detailed.

Ask how she came to the church? (long time member, just visiting, etc.)
Where does she go to school?
Is she local or did she move to town for school?
What are you studying? Really, cool, why'd you pick that?

If converstaion goes as usual most people will bounce questions back to you so be prepared to answer anything you ask.
 
Dear OP,

The more you mull over what to talk to her about the more likely you are to have problems with it and the more likely your going to come off as goofy.

Conversations should come more naturally the less you think about it, you just need to find yourselves in a situation in which gives you a chance to talk!

Good luck!
 
Go up to her and be like 'Heey, if I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together'. ;)

I'm only jokin'...
