On msn me and the guy I like sometimes talk. I often initiate it and so does he. However, after we've said 'hows you' and 'what you been up to' our conversations end. :[ I need to think of something to say to him that will keep us talking for hours!! This doesn't happen with all my other guy mates but I always seem to get a brain freeze when I talk to him and I worry about what I'm going to say. ! x


maybe he's simply not the most stimulating of characters

There's too much communication nowadays that it's quite obviously going to lead to a lack of worthwhile conversation. Tell him you've decided to become a lesbian, that should send a rocket up his arse :biggrin:

I get that with a girl on msn, she's a really nice person but i keep getting the feeling that she only talks to me so she doesnt offend me, i keep deleting her off my msn and blocking, but i always seem to re-add her.

Like tonight she logged on and as soon as i said hi, she said hi i cant talk now i need to be sociable with my relatives and stuff and set status to away.

she meant with people in her house, but why sign in to be sociable with people in her house, i get confused, so i am blocking until she emails me.

Why don't you just ask the guy... I've often found that if the conversation's dead and then you say 'why don't we have anything to talk about' it somehow revives itself back up again. You know he's probably sitting at the other end agonizing about exactly the same thing you are. Just open up a little, admit to being embarrassed by it, and he'll probably make the return move. And if not - that's your signal he's not interested in having a conversation, let alone a relationship.
If youre having problems thinking of things to talk about it helps to not think about it and just blurt out what ever is on your mind.

In a good conversation you never have to think about what to say next, things just kinda lead on to another

thats what i reckon anyway

yes.
Some people don't like MSN
Or have injuries that make it difficult to type
Or are tired etc...

Of course if there is no valid reason for it...just talk about stuff...big brother or something...or share feelings? ga ba wa.
I find 'the question game' is good for keeping conversations going on MSN. Basically you ask the other person a random question, they answer and then ask you question. It's a good way to get to know them too. Just make sure you have some questions in mind first or there'll be a lot of awkward silences while you're trying to think of some.

when u ask what have you been up to doesnt that usually open up a line of conversation? (you know like talking about what you've actually been doing)

Ask him what he's done/going to do today? What he done/doing at the weekend! Usually starts a conversation.

Let me guess; five seconds after she logged in, give or take?

Good grief. Do people actually find this so difficult?

Depends on the individual I guess.

I find it so easy to talk to people I'm close to.

I find it difficult to talk to people I'm friends with but wouldn't be too bothered if I wasn't friends with them.

Figures I guess.

same here. nothing against them its just like sometimes you really have nothing to talk about but its too socially awkward to not make conversation.
Eh I get that problem a couple times too, its just the feeling that we've talked over everything already.

I suggest trying to find something intresting to talk about thats happened lately rather than the same convo that is "how are you doing lately"
Man, why can't I take my own advice cause its the problem I'm having, and I know the reason I'm having it is because i don't know much about what goes on to keep a conversation going. Hope that helps anyhow.

Are you a conversationist? If so, what do you think makes you so?
