what are some good topics of conversation that can be used on someone you like.

She doesn’t know i like her, and she is quiet. i want to be her friend, but when i go to try and talk to her i can’t think of anything to say and its just ocward. Do you guys have any ideas about what i can say that will result in a conversation?

Talk about something you like that means a lot to you! Better yet, if you know of anything you BOTH like, its an instant win!
I was in the same boat all through highschool.

Ask her whats shes thinking! say it cute like “what cha thinking?” lol. Always worked for me :). Failing that ask what cha reading/watching/listeningto/drinking/eating whatever. You strike gold when you find a persons passion and conversation will just flow, till then be happy with cute small talk!

watching someone is one of the best mechanisms to learn about them. Dont get me wrong, im not saying you should stake out their house and watch what colour towels they use to dry with after a shower, but simple things, like do they wear a tshirt with a band on it? Do they read? Do they listen to an ipod?

These things are a great segway into conversation.

For example, What are you listening to?

Whats that your reading? etc.

Remember to smile, people feel more comfortable in talking to someone who genuinely looks interested

Just ask her a lot of random questions. That way, she will do all the talking. And don’t try too hard. If you are trying too hard, you will spend too much time stressing and thinking about questions. Listen and think about what she is saying. You shouldn’t have to hold the conversation. If she isn’t talking that much she might be just as nervous.

open with a stupid joke and ask questions questions questions. Use this time to figure out what she likes…the more you talk about her and the less you talk about yourself the better.

Thats the problem I had the guy I like talks to me but we usually have short conversations because Im shy and give short answers or don’t really talk :/ but don’t be discouraged just keep at it and she’ll become comfortable with you sooner or later :)

Just be yourself, If she doesnt like that it wasnt meant to be.
Thats way better than acting like someone youre not and then ruining the relationship later, and hurting her in the process.
