Okay I am a sophomore in high school, and I met this girl who I really am starting to like a lot. She’s very nice doesn’t drink not a slut, very nice girl. I kind of think she likes me back a little and I have a shot at it. My only problem is I am extremely bad at talking and I get nervous when I talk to her. Were not really close friends because we just met and I don’t want to come off as a creep. I have talked to her and texted her so I know a bit about her but idk, I find trouble when trying to think up small talk. For example walking from class to class I don’t really know what I should be saying while walking and I can’t really think up something often, so we walk in silence sometimes. I’m worried because Friday there is a home football game and I’m sure were both going to it, the thing is I don’t know what im going to talk about and I am worried it will get awkward and there will be a lot of silence. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Jake K

Trouble talking.

Hi Jake, lots of guys here have had the same trouble. Most people like talking about themselves or having their opinions listened to, so ask questions - what does she think about (topic), or what does she like with respect to (something), that sort of thing. Try to make them 'open' questions, questions that can't be answered yes or no. Then when she replies, you respond with appropriate listening noises, comments and questions arising from her answer. Give your opinions also, but let hers dominate.

Well, if you ask her to go to the football game with you, it doesn't matter how much you talk. If you're not talking, you can at least be cheering!
