ugh...

This is how it usually goes for me:

"Hi, I'm (my name)."
"Hi, I'm (says her name)."
......
(pause followed by longer more awkward pause)
......
"Well, see ya!"
(obsessive thoughts for the rest of the day)

How do I get over this?

Insert words where awkward pause is.

You should try rehearsing what you're going to say before you start the conversation. Share something about yourself or compiment the person. Be friendly look them in the face and don't forget to smile! Very Happy

Try to compliment them and get them to talk about them self.Let them know you are interested in hearing about them selfs.People love talking about them selfs.

Don't try to hard either.That's the worse mistake guys make and smile. Very Happy

I'll see what I can do.

I wish everyone around didn't have to watch me. Evil or Very Mad

It seems like whenever I talk in class or something everyone turns their fucking head quickly to look at me like Micheal Myers in that halloween movie. But I also wish my hair wasn't falling out cause my looks are pretty much all I can offer.

i totally know how you feel about trying to talk to the opposite sex...
thats how it is for me pretty much...i dont want to live my life in no relationship at all. i mean i dont even have male freinds really. im so lame. i just freeze up and cant even talk to guys most of the time. and even if i do have a conversation about the wether, it gets to the point where im expected to say something a little more interesting. its sooo hard.

Thanks for your responses.... Not to sound pretentious, but I know I'm still hot, yet my time is running thin because my hair is running thin. So either way, I have to make a move soon.

Don't lay your whole life story down for her when you first talk to her.You don't want to spook her and although having no friends will come up sooner or later it's better to have already establish some kind of rapport with her before you start to get into that type of thing.You don't want to come off as being desperate.

As other people have said talk about the weather just to get the conversation started or some other trivial thing.The best way of keep the conversation going is to ask question about her self and interests.Show your interests in them and what they think about them self and things.Don't force it if it not going well.

One other thing NO PICK LINES.Please just don't use those pick up lines.We was talking about.There about as corny as they can get. Laughing
