How do you make conversation with someone you don't have much in common with? (or don't know of anything yet)
I want to get to know a few people I work with, but not many of them are at college like I am, so the ones who work there full time are a bit hard to talk to....
Where do you start?
I'm sure there are numerous topics on this but I'm a ****** and don't know how to work the search thing...yeah....
being random seems to work for me... i remember one friend - she was just sitting there on the bus and i was bored, so i say hi and said - do you like malteasers? (i was eating a pack) and shes like oh yes i do and i just said, thats nice... and sat back in my seat the next day she sat with me and we just talked general stuff
Small talk just annoys the hell out of me...its l;ike every night - Allrighty matey? What time you in til tonight? 6 oclock mate. Oh right - long day...catch ya later..."

Yeah i agree. I just tend to ramble on about a load of nonsense and more often than not we can find some common ground.
