small talk

''I never noticed how lovely your nostrils are. ..May I smell them?''

''Is this your gun? Mine doesn't have a serial number on it.''

''Hey, last night I saw the most interesting lecture on tying shoes.''

''I don't get these iPad things, sure they're pretty, but I scratch it every time I cut a carrot on it.''

''I'm fine. My psychiatrists think I have a problem, though. My friends in my head disagree.''

''No, I don't have the time. I'm not a wizard.''

''How much would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? No, seriously.''

''You know, I find the lack of symmetry in your face endlessly fascinating.''

''Why would you ask me that? I don't have the slightest clue how many things are 'up'.''

^ Best one yet!

When I do small talk, I find myself exaggerating certain things probably because I try hard to look like I'm interested. Plus, I sound a bit robotic and monotonous by default so I have to make an effort to smile, laugh, look vibrant, etc.

small talk depends on the scenario..are you in class studying biology or in the supermarket looking at pickle jars?are you at a baseball game where you can comment on the players or something?you need to give a scenario of where you would start small talk..if you mean just walking up to a stranger in a club or store, ehh not so sure what i would say..

Hmm I guess a scenario would be sitting next to someone in class or at running into someone at work.

I can't small-talk.

I have a thin quiver of phrases that I rely on when I'm in a pinch, but when they're exhausted I just look somewhere else and try to act like I'm thinking about something.

Very rarely will a stranger put me enough at ease to make idle conversation, but when they do, it goes surprisingly well.

What phrases? :p......

yeah same here, i have to act interested for the most part and this gets difficult because the reality is, im not that interested, hence why i dont like or enjoy small talk..

Just talk about your self. Say "I, me, my, I love, I like" as much as possible and I promise you will slip into a good conversation, because the other person just wants to hear about you and your interests, especially if it's a cute girl who like you. And talking about your own interests will spark convo. about what she/he likes to do.

edit: and if you have weird *** interests like the poster above me, you will find someone who's right for you/ a good friend because they'll know your into weird shit like them!
