  • Is she just a motormouth or are you just not interested in the topics of her conversations? Why can't you talk to her like a friend?
  • It's likely that you feel as though you NEED to talk about something because you're very aware that you want to extend the amount of time you're with her and also because you want to reply to her conversation with something that will impress her enough to continue talking with you. Let up on yourself. Are you afraid of being who you really are? If you want her to like you for who you are, instead of some 'picture' that you paint of yourself (to keep her interested) then just be yourself. That way, if she doesn't like what she sees, it can be sorted out early on; she'll also respect you for being honest, instead of putting on a show. Less focus on being what you think she wants you to be & more focus on just being yourself. See her as a good friend rather than as a romantic interest. Less fear, more friendship!
  • It's a self-confidence thing... Had the same problem myself when I was in school... In fact, pretty much all the way through college. Shortly after, I got into a play that forced me to be aggressive, and people liked me even better. Meanwhile, I'd had a FEW dates, and had a number of female friends, but no girlfriend. You know how many I think I let go because I couldn't talk to them? GEEZE! It WILL go away (or ease up) in time... I know that doesn't help NOW, but... Do you know her phone number? If you called her, it would be MUCH easier to talk to her. You're talking on the phone away from her. THEN when you see her face-to-face, it will be easier to talk to her. (You DO have to remember you've talked to her at some length on the phone, so there's NO REASON to freeze up...) You can also tell her you're talking on the phone because you get so nervous when you're around her. (Be warned... She will ask WHY?) BUT, I WILL warn you again of the thing I found out the hard way... If you like a girl and freeze up when she talks to you, she will probably find someone else to talk to, and maybe date, get into a relationship with, and maybe marry. If you're in school, talk about teachers you know, classes you have together (homework), etc. If it's work, talk about the dorky dude (every job has one - unless of course it's YOU! LOL), or talk about customers, making whatever, cleaning up, etc. You don't have to get "deep" in your first conversations with her, but you DO have to talk. The more you do it, the easier it will become. Good luck. ;-)
  • Just.......relax! Be yourself, she's a friend. Ask about her day, and go from there!:):)
  • Just say whatever comes to you and don't worry. I've been able to talk to women for hours and sometimes you might say something that she thinks is disgusting and get up and walk away. Chances are you will say that sometime in your relationship anyway. Better she walk away sooner. All the girls i ever wanted did walk away. So i'm still looking. And i'm only 57.
  • Meh...chatter is fine. You cant be having deep and meaningful conversations with someone you haven't even chatted with. D&M's come after time. If you want something more substantial to talk about, bring up a news story or something "hey...did you hear about that guy on oprah who's pregnant?" and go from there. Everyone has to put up with the meaningless chatter first...its part of the process. That being said however, if she is trying to talk to you and you're interpreting her talk as meaningless chatter...maybe she's not the girl for you.
