<p>Okay, I really like this guy and I think he really likes me too...the only problem is that when we are alone we can never get a lasting conversation going. He is really into sports and I'm really not, so thats out. I need your help because I don't want him to think I am boring or anything, I just don't have a clue what kinds of things he likes to talk about. Help!</p>
<p>What about school?</p>
<p>Well, I just try to joke with the girl and make her laugh. Talk about other people sometimes.</p>
<p>Can't talk...just make out!</p>
<p>i have the same problem sometimes.
get to know each other better.
get to know what he likes, through friends.
just try talking to him about anything. a good question is, doing anything fun this summer? bc if he is, he will talk about it. if he has no answer, it's your cue to make up the most interesting sounding activity off the top of your head and enchant him with it. :)
a good thing is to talk about other people, or about teachers, or what classes he'll be taking next year.</p>
<p>^^ wow I'm sorry, but when has taking advice from someone who admittedly has problems of their own ever been beneficial in anyway... especially given the topic at hand, and the fact that jimbob is a chick</p>
<p>if you really want to screw this kid, just buy him a sub and have a conversation about him...ABOUT WHAT HE LIKES. If you don't like sports, then too ****ing bad for you. Just pretend that you know what you are talking about, and throw him names like John Elway and Coors Light whenever you are at an impasse. </p>
<p>Trust me, this is 103% foolproof</p>
<p>lol i dunno dooit, ive had some success myself.</p>
<p>Oh, do you bat for both teams? I'm sorry to hear that :)</p>
<p>lol what? i am a girl...who has had some success with guys...sorry if that is weird to you</p>
<p>somehow lead the conversation into something sex-related. =O
but not so much that he'll think you're easy.</p>
<p>o i tot u wer juss messin' wit me n sayin u wer bisexual or somthin
is k cuz i wus juss jokin newayz</p>
<p>K, first off, I'm a girl. So maybe my point of view is skewed, but my boyfriend and I have had little trouble finding good conversation, and it's even easier with my best guy friend.</p>
<p>Second. If he likes you, he'll find something to say, even if you don't understand. It's his way of wanting you to be interested in him.</p>
<p>Third. Let him talk about whatever the hell he wants. Even if it's sports and you know nothing about it, the least you can do is read the sports section and catch up on who won what game and by how much. The good part of that is at least he isn't talking about how hott some other girl is.</p>
<p>Fourth. Make it clear that you're interested in him. Boys are wimps sometimes.</p>
<p>We have already exhausted the topic of school...we know each other's schedules by heart and what subjects we like/dislike. I really can't fake interest in sports because I know zero to nothing about any of them and don't really care to know. Today he was talking about baseball and I looked confused so he changed the subject. I've made it sooo obvious I like him.</p>
<p>Then go somewhere with him that offers things to talk about. Or sometimes it's fun just to talk a walk in silence too.</p>
<p>I think that you should put an effort in the sports area. By trying to learn something about sports (say baseball) then it will show him that you like him, as well as give you something to talk about when he explains to you what you tried to talk about. Guys love to talk about things that interest them so just tell him you don't understand something about sports and ask him to explain it to you, you'll learn something and pass time.</p>
<p>^^I think I'll try that lindsey. He will have to start with when baseball was invented though because I know nothing about it, lol.</p>
<p>Read The Numbers Game - It's a book on the entire history of baseball. (I haven't finished it yet.)</p>
<p>There's also another really good book called Moneyball... which talks about statistics and choosing great baseball players and such. (Kind of bad language though... haha)</p>
<p>Then go to mlb.com</p>
<p>Then actually watch a game and try to learn the basic concepts, and the more you watch the more you'll begin to understand it.</p>
<p>Moneyball is a bit advanced for someone who doesnt know anything about baseball :P</p>
<p>Start with MLB.com or Yahoo.com
Learn about who's good, what position etc. I'm sure he likes the sox. I could help you with that since im a huge sox fan :)</p>
<p>I <3 Moneyball.
But I agree if you start throwing out terms such as Composite ERA, DIPS, and Markov Chains, he'll be more confused than impressed ;)
Just watch sportscenter and baseball tonight a few times a week.</p>
<p>i like talking about mathematics, physics, and/or computer science with basically anyone, regardless of gender.</p>
<p>this probably doesn't help your quandary, though</p>
