Any good suggestions for starters to liven up conversation?

Random topics starter anyone? Like you wanted to talk to this girl, you knew each other pretty well. But sometimes things just gets quiet suddenly and you need some starters to liven up the conversation again. Any good suggestions?

Talk about random things. Make sure you widen your mind with everything she says. If she starts the conversation, make sure you pick up the key points on whatever she said.

Just make sure you talk to her naturally and not "fake-ish". Just don't think about doing it right, just think about whatever comes to mind on whatever point she said to you. Be natural bro!

Also, you can compliment her and ask her where she got this certain necklace... is it special? etc... Ask about her hair, nails, clothes, make-up anything a girl works hard for to impress YOU.

Make sure to also not do this all on one day. Make sure the conversations short, unless you can't possibly leave her, so you can have more to talk about the day after and so on.

Dimond Lounge : Conversational skills

I wrote a big article on conversation skills, hopefully it'll help. Just remember, a conversation should be able to carry itself. If you've trained yourself properly, you should be able to carry a long conversation, but if you can't, it's always a great fall-back line to give a time constraint when the conversation starts. "I can only talk for a few minutes, then i gotta get back to my friends." Try to make one up. If you even start to feel the conversation die down, try to freeze her out, if she reinitiates, take it as an IOI. Most importantly, let a conversation flow naturally. Ask some open-ended questions to keep the conversation a-movin'!
