<p>"i like talking about mathematics, physics, and/or computer science with basically anyone, regardless of gender."</p>
<p>foolproof plan. :)</p>
<p>oh and i'm a guy, so my input is at least germane, if not useful.</p>
<p>hence, my statement of a "foolproof plan"!</p>
<p>I'll talk math with you. But not physics...</p>
<p>hmm also, ask the guy to explain stuff to you. my old bf really liked having to explain stuff to me when i asked him to. he thought it was cute and he got to feel "manly". (mainly b/c i'm smarter than him academically :D) i dont understand guys sometimes. they are sooo weird. </p>
<p>lol, i forgot all my physics... i'm surprised i got 5's on both exams. lol.</p>
<p>Guys, like me, will always talk about sports even if the person they're talking to has no idea what they're saying. But here's a good way to make the guy change the subject to something familiar to both of you:</p>
<p>Boy: I knew the Heat were gonna win the championship since the playoffs started...
Girl: uh-huh
Boy: D-Wade waz amazing...he is unstoppable at crunch time
Girl: <em>gasp</em> DWANYE WADE IS SOOOOOOO CUUUUUTE!!!
Boy: ...........

Errrr....you said you went New York last weekend...how was that??</p>
<p>(Unfortunately I've experienced this first-hand and it works)</p>
<p>haha...with me it's almost the other way around... I'm obsessed about the NBA and the World Cup, and my boyfriend could care less.</p>
<p>Here's a convo--</p>
<p>Me: Wow...Portugese is a lot like Spanish. (I was saying this as I was looking at pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo... mmm.)</p>
<p>Him: I suppose. But not as similar as Italian is.</p>
<p>Me: ...but the Portugese soccer team is better looking...</p>
<p>Him: ...You're weird.</p>
<p>LOL. we were watching world cup at school in AP Physics. and the few girls in the class got together to watch teh beginning when they scan over the team and we'd judge how cute each one was. it definitely changed the stereotype of "nerdy physics girls".</p>
<p>nameless - lol, i used that on my old bf. he doesn't mention a single thing about sports anymore - unless it's something he did before.</p>
<p>What do we like to talk about?</p>
<p>Science and conscioussness....</p>
<p>Do you guys have any common interests?</p>
<p>We work together, got similar SAT scores and class schedules for next school year (LOL). He isn't the type to waste words so thats all I know so far.</p>
<p>THis an easy problem to solve, you already have the guy, it would be alot harder if you were trying to get him.
Anyways the situation is easy, stay away from talking about school or college that conversation gets old and boring pretty fast. talk about music, movies,hobbies. Make fun of him, it actually works really well. Most important is to insure that the conversation is intresting.
The best thing that you could do is to ask him to explain baseball to you, you might not want to know or care, or even get most of what he is saying, but for a guy it feels good to teach girls things, and its really hard to find a girl intrested in sports.</p>
<p>Ask questionsss.... the boys I know like to talk about themselves once you get them going. =)</p>
<p>dont go and try to learn everything about baseball. that is the stupidest idea ive ever heard. concentrate on finding common interests. once you get to know a person (sounds like you have), you can start conversations off of things youve talked about in the past...simple. i am very shy and even i have realized this.</p>
<p>yeah dont try to learn his interests. that almost never works, unless you already had some kind of knowledge about whatever it is. you'll be able to find something. use the news, something weird about a celebrity, ANYTHING to spark a convo.</p>
<p>go somewhere and do something (ie watch a movie together, play mini golf, go to the beach) so that after doing the activity, you have somthing to talk about (the activity) and a starting point to learn more about him</p>
<p>Music works...Idk, I've never really had trouble having a conversation with a guy. Just talk like you'd talk with someone you were friends with...it's not really very complicated. Maybe he's just boring?</p>
<p>News! talking politics works.</p>

<p>lol, I don't think so, but like I said he is not one to waste words and is sort of introverted. The su doku/crossword puzzle type. I don't usually have trouble talking to guys but this one has got me confused. Its a shame I really like him...I will look over the suggestions in this thread to see which ones I can use when I see him on monday.</p>
<p>Talk about other people! That's an endless source of material. Something is always going on with everybody else.</p>
<p>But if don't want to resort to gossip...um I'm not really sure what do then if there aren't common interests. Tell him a funny story maybe. Or just tell him you have a crush on him.</p>
<p>And the golden rule for keeping a conversation going? Conduct an interview.</p>
