:eek:mg: Hello world I having trouble again figuring out what to say to people . talking don`t seem to come easy at all to me my mind just can`t find the words to say. Why can`t I become a person who has friends. " oh wait" I know it because I am not cool I don`t get people and now I have to suffer because of that. Not much places for me to go but a grocery store. basically if you could take scene from your life and show them to people who knows more about talking then you do you think it would help ? I made this quiz like thing hear to try and show people how I am on coming up with words to say to people.

A.) "Hello, you selling pizza here. I really need to eat some pizza My name bo by the way and yours ? "

B.) "Hey you look pretty cool standing their."

C.) "You seen any good deal lately."

D.) none start praying to GOD.

scene 2. At the computer and on a dating website. and come across a profile of a cute girl who says she into anime cartoon and enjoy going camping and like big fires. and showing and image of her indoors and eating pancakes. what should I message to get her to message me back ?

A.) You like anime do you think dbz count as a anime or is it to childish.

B.) I see you like big fires so what do you say you and me go light a bomb.

c.) mmmm.........pancakes

D.) none start praying to GOD.


scene 3. playing gta 5 on ps3 and starting the game that require two or more to play and the other player is just standing there doing nothing So I deside to text him what should I say ?

Yes I have trouble too bo592. Why don't you try some ice cream instead of pizza in scene 1.
Talk can be hard on us all you just have to grab a purpose and live with hope of people liking you.
Remember people hate people who hate them. This mean you have to not only feel good about you but feel good about other to improve on social . bo592 who are again why do I feel like I know you.

Im sorry man, I cant speak for everyone, but I dont know a lot about starting conversations. For situation 1 you could probably ask some women what guys have said/done while speaking, to them that intrigued them and what others have done that turned them off.

Im a geek too so for scene 2 I'd probably try to show that Im into similar things and ask questions that show Im not just making that up. Having a good profile picture and using humor on your profile seems to work. I read somewhere that a lot of people will look at your picture first before they even bother trying to read anything about you lol.

As for situation 3 I have a hard time inviting people because I feel like Im bothering them, but others will just send me invites. They wont even tell me what they're for. They'll just send them. So I guess thats the way to do it?? To be honest I think a lot of people dont care if they've just imposed themselves on you mid-game or not.

Scene 1:
Ask casually (with a brief smile) if she could let you get something (e.g. frozen broccoli) out of the shelf she is stocking. Then thank her and say something like: "At the moment I have this crazy craving for broccoli. But honestly, I have no idea what I am going to cook with it. Have you any ideas?". After a short conversation leave (smile&thank her). If you see her again greet her. If she smiles talk to her (ask how her day is ect.). But try to keep every conversation with her short and easy. If you think she likes you, ask her out. If I where her I would prefer it if you would do it in a FRIENDly kind of way. Ask her to hang out as friends. If the chemistry is right, maybe you two will eventually get together. If not you still got yourself a friend.

The way I see it, in scene 1, it doesn't really matter what you say to her (within limits...). Just make her smile, laugh and create attraction. The problem is that if you are on this website, you probably are not much good at doing this.

Takes practice...

To be honest talking to staff in a supermarket is not the appropriate venue for small talk. I use the auto teller and get the hell out.

Hey their I know it been along time since I posted but I just got something that pop up in my head about this topic. So it said you have to have a picture of you on a dating website are you would get igorned. But let say you don`t like having a picture of you not because you think you are ugly but because you don`t like the idea of the wrong people getting a look at your profile . You know like annoying relatives who would see it as a opportunity to make fun of you. But would it be more helpful if you had snap chat on a dating website. think about that way you would be in more control who will see a image of you, you just have to be the one that message people first and in your first message you will need to included a picture of you and then whatever your message is. that way people you like or think you would like to know would be the ownly ones getting the image of so the can see you.
