My friend and I have known each other for the past 10+ years and we are going to try and give a relationship a chance. What are some good conversation starters? We have known each other this long, but really don't know personal things about each other.

We just kind of stare out the window and have long awkward silences. When we are joking around our conversation goes smoothly, but when it comes down to real and meaningful conversation it gets really slow. He seems to want me to do the majority of the talking because I go and see him after work and he is counting down the register and closing up, so he wants me to talk and really I am a very shy person. Even more so around him now that I know there is an interest on his part. What are some good things to talk about besides the weather and he is not really into sports (at least not the same ones I am into) Thanks.

Personally, I don't like having discussions about my personal life in public. So maybe try to have those conversations some place more private. He could be like me, wanting to tell you everything you ever wanted to know, just not everywhere you want to know it :)

Since you are shy, maybe you can understand where I am coming from. Have the silly discussions and talk about how your day went while he is finishing up his work, and then when you are both alone, bring up the juicy topics and serious dialogs.

Question Asker Oh let me clarify. We are the only ones there at his job. He owns his own business and I stop by while he is closing up the store. But, I will take this into consideration. I had not really thought about it like that before. Thanks. - 2 months ago

Talk about your hopes and dreams for the future. I know it sounds corny, but let him know where you stand. Let him know the relationship is slowing down and you want HIM to stir it up. Maybe surprise him at the door with supper made and the lights turned down low with nothing on. I bet you won't be doing a lot of talking then, but it will be a nice conversation piece for a later date.

Like, remember that time when. He will never forget it! Good luck!

Guys: Do you really fall in love with a girl?
lvrgirl2011 asked 18 hours ago

Yes, I've been in love.

No, I've never been in love.

I'm scared to love someone.

LOVE is an over-used word that doesn't have meaning.

What pickup lines do you use to start a conversation with someone you are attracted to?
I don't really use pick up lines unless I am messing around. I introduce myself and start up a conversation. I try to let them do most of the talking if they seem to have a lot to say and I chime in when I have something worth while to say and to let them know I am paying attention to them.

How do they typically respond?
Either they're interested or they're not. We talk and go from there or we go our separate ways.

Do I have the right approach?
