Good at conversing with her face to face, but not on MSN.

Basically, I am good at conversing with this girl whom I have a crush on when we're talking face to face. However, when I am on MSN...I find it difficult to make conversation with her. Like, I don't know what to talk about...my mind just goes blank and refuses to think. What can I talk about to make conversations seem a little less awkward?

Thannkkksssss.

Just say stuff that you'd normally say?

For example:

Hi, how are you?
how was your day?
what you been doing?
wanna cyber?

etc :p:

Don't worry about it, speak to her more in real life. Msn conversations are always stilted to an extent and don't really mean that much if you have a good face to face relationship with someone.

Oh man

.

When I'm on the internet I am so confident. I can just say whatever rubbish is on my mind and make it sound like real conversation, and can have fun flirty conversations for hours.

Offline? I can hold conversation for less than a minute, and people think I'm creepy and weird. I also have this weird problem where I think people I'm talking with are about to stab me, so I flinch whenever they put their hands in their pockets.

because real life is about a million times better than msn

Haha, I have the exact same problem. It seems so awkward and forced on MSN, and I'm too used to using my entirely online-based humour (4chan jokes, etc.) to make proper MSN conversation nowadays.

I just avoid using my RL MSN now though lol.

Yeah, I find that too lol. Silences are more akward on msn than in real life lol!
You could ask her to play one of them noughts and crosses games or something lol!?
Or when things get akward "brb, putting my tea on" :biggrin:

i wouldnt worry about it. its normally the other way around which is far worse.
use it as an excuse to talk to them in person more

I used to be the opposite. And i'd find it easier to talk to anybody on msn, but not so much in person.

But now it's switched. No idea why.

lol.
It's strange. I'm fine talking to my girlfriend in person, or by text/email (she doesn't use MSN). But it seems a bit weird if we're talking on the phone. I dunno. Probably to do with the fact if I'm physically talking to someone, I like to see their face lol. I'm odd.

I'd say so :P. Complete opposite for me, and I know which situation I'd prefer.

"Hey. Wanna cyber?"

Works every time.

Time your conversations. After 5 minutes, go do something else (or at least tell her you're going to and 'Appear Offline). However, actually doing it will mean you get more stuff done...

But don't worry about it. Face-to-face is infinitely more preferable to MSN...you're in a good position, really.

ha ha i know a guy who is so funny and hyper in real life then on MSN he is SOO boring. and i know people who are very quiet in real life, then really confident on MSN. I think I'm more confident on MSN, because if you say something crazy you don't see that persons reaction ha ha :smile:
