Senior Don Juan
my problem is that whenever i hang out with my girl, we often hang out with some of her old friends who she has known since high school
and they always talk about old stuff: events that happened in high school, people or teachers, funny events, or inside jokes that they know from their high school clique
and i totally dont have anything to add, because I dont know these inside jokes.
so I am usually just left being the quiet one. I end up lauging along with them but not saying anything except for the occasional "are you serious?" or whatever. just sort of nodding my head while they blather on.
so my question is, what should i do? i'm afraid that this girl might start to think ii'm a dork/too-quiet, but actually I just dont hav anything to add to their very one sided discussions.
-should i somehow try to jump into these "insider" conversations anyway?
-should i try to forcefully steer the conversation elsewhere? this could be akward
-should i just randomly throw in my own thoughts, like "yeah once when i was in high school XYZ happened..."
-or should i just let them have their nostalgic conversations because they seem to enjoy it a lot
