  1. Most of the time with people like that, I try to make conversations with them short but sweet. Especially If the person really has nothing to say to me and wants me to do all the talking. I learned this and realized that friends like that are like leeches. They suck you dry until your friendship is so one sided your walking lopsided. So don't fall into their trap. If you notice that is the path the conversation is taking. Then end it as soon as you can. If you continue to talk to them then you won't get anywhere and you will waste precious time that you could spend on something else.


  2. Maybe that person is a bit autistic or something. You don't have to spend a lot of time with someone you find dull, but be kind. It doesn't take much to show you care. Even with normal people, I often have the same dull, meaningless conversations ie, was the store busy today? Why yes it was. My the weather is nice, blah blah blah. Sometimes just talking to people even when there is nothing much to say shows that you want to be nice to them.

  3. I have a friend like that. She is a boring troll.

  4. Give him/her some more time?...

    It took me 3 years to totally open up to my best friends....

    I dont trust ppl easily... but when i do, i trust them completely.

  5. They are extremely shy would be my first guess.  

    If they are more open with other people, they may be made uncomfortable by your questions or how close you stand by them or have a crush on you they want to hide.

    This would be the person to go to an amusement park with or a movie so you have some specific things to talk about.  

    You might want to ask more open ended questions where the answer can't be yes or no.

  6. People change during the course of their life.

  7. maybe they just want to be polite and friendly, not your bosom buddy
