greengreengrass Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 First of all, hi guys basically, I just came here to ask for some advice i'm a 15 year old boy, just about to turn 16, and recently something that never used to bother me that much has become quite a big issue in my life. This issue is the fact that: i'm actually not very good at talking to girls... especially compared to many of my friends. I can talk to my mates fine and i have a good laugh and things, I'm quite a shy guy though, and when a girl comes over to talk I'm usually left watching my friend having a great time talking to her while I watch from the sidelines. I'll watch as my friend seems to have some sort of unbounding confidence in talking to her, and they'll make jokes and things... i'll search desperately in my head for something to say that will enable me to join in the conversation, but won't be able to find anything... I just hate it and unfortunately i feel incredibly jealous I've tried to observe what sort of things they talk about in these conversations... and I've realised that alot of the time they're just teasing each other... but this is something i just can't replicate because i don't have the confidence. Strangely, there are times where if i'm having a good day, i can hold down a brief one on one conversation by just asking things and making the occasional joke, and when that happens it normally goes quite well. The thing is I don't have alot of these conversations and I don't really know how to take the conversation further, how keep the girl interested in talking to me... Does anyone have any advice as to what i could do? I feel it's important to stress at this point, i'm not really looking for a relationship at the moment, I just wish I knew how to initiate conversation and get to know a girl properly. Also, i'm sorry for asking this sort of question... i'm sure you guys get it quite often
