<p>And especially if they don't seem to be aware that their main barrier with you is that the two of you have barely anything to talk about?</p>
<p>I don’t think that I’d begin to dislike him or her more than I did originally; I’d probably just be less inclined to converse with that person.</p>
<p>No, i have friends that i have nothing to talk about with but, we usually don’t talk and he’s more of a guy to play sports with/ go to a party with than talk to on the phone. </p>
<p>Mainly the sports.</p>
<p>Light conversation in general is infuriatingly stupid. Whenever I hear other people having conversations with their friends I cringe because it all seems so pointless. Unless someone wants to talk about something meaningful, then there is no point in conversing. I am sick of all the constant chatting about school, what you did last night, how busy you are, gossip about other friends, and having to hear people repeat to me what I just heard on ESPN last night</p>
<p>I see friends strictly as people to do recreational activities like play sports or go fishing or skiing with, or maybe study with it if is beneficial for both of you</p>
<p>i used to be like that. now i liked light convos IRL. light convos online are annoying as hell though.</p>
<p>^Same here</p>
<p>^^You don’t have to take such a pragmatic point of view to conversation; not everything has to have a grandiose point that satisfies some romantically intellectual view you have of life. Not all of your conversations are going to be deep and heavy. Light conversation is good for passing time, relaxing, easing into a friendship, finding out about other people, and more.</p>

<p>Ass I didn’t even click "post twice…</p>

<p>I actually don’t like having deep conversation either because it is usually on topics that are just matters of opinions like religion or politics so it doesn’t end well.</p>
<p>What I do enjoy in a conversation is asking questions to someone wiser/smarter/more knowledgable than me and listening and learning from them.</p>
<p>Do you mean “like someone” as in a relationship-sort of “like”, or the just-friends sort of “like”?</p>
<p>I don’t like them less, I just don’t like them more.
When I first get to know someone, I may start to like them. Then, as our relationship progresses and we discuss a lot of things, I generally tend to like them more, and grow closer to them. However, if I can never really talk about anything with them, we’ll never get past the first stage and I can’t get closer to them and like them more.</p>
<p>If they talk a little at least and are nice then I would just be neutral. No more, no less. But if they were a jerk too then I would like them less.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s not that you have barely anything in common, it’s just that you don’t have anything that would be interesting to talk about to her. In other words, when she asks “how was your day?” you can’t really say anything past “it was alright” because your life isn’t ‘interesting’. Harsh I know, but those who have more interesting lives tend to have a lot more to talk about.</p>

<p>How much I like someone is not directly related to how much we might (or do) have in common to talk about. So I wouldn’t like a someone less just because our interests diverged. But the friendship would probably become less interesting.</p>
<p>Yes</p>
