How do you elevate small talk to real conversation?

<p>I believe the reason I haven't made any friends yet (besides haven't been social since grade school) Is that when I talk to someone, if I even get to. Its only about small talk. Its only "I can't figure out how to do this is photoshop, help me, etc" It never goes anywhere besides small shi't like that.</p>

<p>What do I do?</p>

<p>What you should do is stop posting here.</p>

<p>Why do you be hatin’?</p>

<p>Because you’re a ■■■■■ who asks stupid questions.</p>

<p>Say hi to them in the halls, when you’re not rushing to class ask how their days are, etc. Eventually go with them to a concert or movie or something.</p>

<p>Honestly, me and most of my male friends don’t have super deep conversations. I do with my best friends, and with my female friends (even then they’re about 4 feet deep unless they’re really good friends).</p>

<p>TheyCallMeGill-Thats friendship though, only friends go and do something, I want whats inbetween first. You know, that person that is glad to see you and has real converstation during class.</p>

<p>panic-Uh, first you don’t know me, so you can’t make those assumtions. Also, I’m am sure you have had to ask how to do something more than once in your life right?</p>

<p>DCHurricane-I don’t really have halls per say, I have the same people all day for all of my classes exept for a few who waiver off. But I do try to say hi, the problem is I only know the names of one or two of them. It ends up being alot of “hey you”. Ive never been good with names. Hell I don’t even know the names of my teachers yet.</p>

<p>Do the ol, “Hey, what was your name again? Sorry, I’m awful with them” thing. It’s a little more awkward now that the school year has progressed but hey, most people won’t really care.</p>

<p>billmayshurrrrrrr hurp a derrr</p>

<p>Get good with names it makes all the difference, write them down in your planner or something.</p>

<p>Tough question to answer. It’s hard for me too. I don’t think there’s really an answer; after all, sometimes hanging out with ppl doesn’t do it for me either. You just gotta let a dynamic develop. Don’t be afraid to bring up topics. It’ll click once you find common interests with ppl.</p>
