    Default Made myself look like an absolute idiot today

    I've always been shy around girls and shit at making conversation.

    Well, in maths today a girl sat next to me (she is pretty hot, think she was interested in me) and said "oooh is that an iphone 3gs" and I just mumbled and said "yes" then turned back round and did my work.

    Fuckin embaressing, never looked like such an idiot in my whole life. Totally ruined my chances.

    Does anyone have any advice for how I can continue a basic conversation because I lack that skill

    If I can't keep up a conversation, I have no chance of ever getting a partner

    Back when I was in school and I was cripplingly shy and unhappy, I made it my mission to make some kind of conversation with one person I thought was nice/cool but didn't really talk to. Made some good friends and got me laid (mostly with said friends, but hey ho).
    "Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."

    Well for starters, instead of just saying "yes" you could say, "yeah, I just got it last week, do you like it?" By asking a question in return you are moving the conversation along. You could also have said, "yeah, do you have one?" She would probably say no, but then you could ask her what iphone she has.

    The point here is that by asking questions you are demonstrating interest and engaging the other person in conversation. Nothing will happen unless you are able to talk to someone you are attracted to in a casual manner.

    Just relax and try to keep the conversation flowing. It's not hard.

    First, you shouldn't underestimate yourself. I'm sure there have been plenty of times where you looked like such an idiot.
    Next time you see her ask her what kinda of phone that she has. Don't bulldoze her though. Little questions and harmless flirting. Then invite her over for some online monkey porn.
    See, don't you feel better already!

    Damn that was soooo embarrassing.

    Don't even trip, she probably barely even noticed that. Ask her a question tomorrow like she did today. Then try to keep the conversation going. Is this something you can teach someone, because it's kind of hard, you just kind of have to do it. If you like her and you think she likes you but you're not sure don't be a dumbass and say she has nice feet like I've done...
    We claim to live and die equal, the way we were born: we want this real equality or death; that’s what we need.
    And we’ll have this real equality, at whatever price. Unhappy will be those who stand between it and us! Unhappy will be those who resist a wish so firmly expressed.

    Don't speak to people as if they are some kind of beast that will claw your face off if you displease them.

    Be provocative, but don't be an annoying prick.

    Man, there is nothing better than striking up a conversation with a foreign person (like an exchange student). Because there are so many things to talk about, questions you could ask about their home country, comparisons, differences, etc.

    that doesn't make you look like an idiot, it makes you look uninterested in her.

    oh nox.. you are way cooler than everyone else at your school! the question is...should SHE even be talking to YOU!-- the cool quiet mysterious Anarchist? I don't think so!!! she's not hot enough...Not Yet..... Is she Hot enough for Revolution?

    oh.. i can remember my dreadful jr high school days so long ago in the late 70's...
    the cute burnout guy, turned long-time friend.. asked me to meet him at the school's weekend rollerskating night--telling me it would be worth my while cause he was gonna have a nickle of weed! (hey..forgettabout iphone 3g. Yo! This was the era of Pong, Pacman and Space Invaders video games.. back when "Yo" started the sentence-- rather than finished it!) so rollerskating sounded like the unkool disaster it was-- but joints? oh yes! that was something i was a bit familiar with, thanks to my older sisters. Still not so familiar that I was dumb enough to ask Him.. (and remember.. He was the ultra cute burnout..) "how much weed can you get for 5 cents?"

    Imagine, me and girl in class without anything to do, except wait to finish class.
    Total silence, but in a little moments someone of us, smile or laugh.
    I try to start a conversation, but....

    Just started sobbing and told the woman I didn't have a clue how to configure it, so far so good. Then my daughter, came out of nowhere, snatched it from my hands, "Here's how Daddy dear!" I have not seen the woman since or the IPhone . Neither my daughter. It's been weeks now. I still have my old Nokia though.......
