Topic Starters

[April_Infinite]

I know that conversation isn't canned, and memorizing topic starters won't help improve conversation skills.

I've just started off though, conversation is one of my weakest points, I'm embarrasing bad at it.

Do you guys have any interesting topic starters that I can lean against if a conversation goes south, until I gain my wings?

Here's an interesting one from Juggler and a buddy:

Pop culture. It's never failed me. Concerts, TV, movies, magazines, music, whatever. But whatever you do, just talk to her like she was a guy. Not about guy topics though, unless she's into that. All you really have to do is ask her questions that will let her run her mouth, then throw in a couple of stories and what not.

TIPS:
- Don't overdo it on the questions or she'll view you as a good listener. (AFC)

- Have funny stories or jokes to get her laughing. If your conversation is too straight forward, she'll view you as boring. Don't be afraid to make fun of her, just make sure it's not something she's not sensitive about like her weight or nose. Big breasts and butts are NOT off limits, in fact I encourage it. Don't be afraid to go sexual, not perverted, sexual.

She tells you a story about drving a Dodge Ram, you could joke with her and say something like, "You drove a Dodge Ram? Wow, I didn't think you'd be able to see in one of those without a booster seat."
