How do i keep up conversation?

Question

I have a hard time making/keeping up conversation esp. with guys lol

I usually answer people with a yes/no and then it gets quiet and theres that akward moment until they start talking. How do i end this?

Answer 1

Lol, this made me laugh as I am the same - or I feel that I need to fill the empty space with some ridiculous or stupid comment!  I think a lot of people feel the same about this one.  To be honest, I was once told that the sign of a good friend/partner was someone you were comfortable being silent with.  Perhaps if you ask them some questions about themselves, then you may find something you have in common and you can start to relax.  Once you relax with someone who shares common interests I bet you have no more problems with this one - you are not alone in this, trust me!

Answer 2

Practice having innocent conversations on the computer or on the phone.Then you will feel comfortable to look them in the face and just talk about whatever. Trust me, it works.
