Alright I am 18 years old and I have never had a girlfriend, there are a number of reasons for this I think. I just suck at talking about normal things I can talk about abstract ideas, obscure films, drugs, bodybuilding, videos games, music for hours but it seems like my conversations with girls are always just choppy and kinda awkward. Thus I have never had a girlfriend, I think now is the time. I live with my parents and I am currently going to community college near my house. I have class three days a week the rest of the time I literally sit at home on the computer or go work out. I am alright looking kinda short but I am jacked, I feel like I have a lot of potential.

 

How do you meet girls? Like you see a girl in class or whatever and then what do you do?

At your age, you'd primarily meet girls through your friends. When you all go to the club together or at a house party and people who you've never met have been invited. You didn't mention friends in your post - do you have friends to hang out with? Is it a mixed gender group?

 

Then learn a bit about making small talk. Small talk is the key to the door of bigger conversations. I saw a book called "The Art of Small Talk". I haven't read it, but if you're struggling it could be worth looking at.

 

In the meantime, I have a bit of homework to challenge your perceived notions on what you can talk about. You don't need to be an expert - all you need is to have a couple of thoughts, questions or to be able to BS on the topic a bit. So, the challenge is to come up with a topic for every letter from A to Z on which you can make a conversation about.

 

I'll start so that you can see what I mean. (This is completely off the top of my head - no forethought whatsoever).

 

A. Animals. (you could go from pets to welfare on this topic!)

B. Beach (I love bodysurfing. And the sound of the ocean)

C. Chickens (yes, I know. Lame. But I'm buying some shortly)

D. Driving (Cars? Getting driver's license? Scenic trips?

E. Equality (marriage equality is a topic where I am)

F. Friends (how do you know the host?)

 

See where I'm going? I bet you can talk about far more than you believe.

I have a large friend group but they are all guys and they are all away and college while i'm stuck in my home town. I have a few buddies in town but I don't see them much, I am really good in a party setting only problem is I pretty much never go to parties. I think part of the issue is that I never do anything so I never have a chance to meet anybody. Thanks for the idea I'm actually going to try that
