Just as the Title says, i really suck at buuilding conversation, i’ve had a crush on this girl for 2 years now and i was talking with her (5 minutes ago, she’s also a communist and is awesome) and i literally ran away after 5 minutes because i’ve felt like i’ve had nothing better to say. Fuck my life, did make her agree to watch Doctor Who and One Piece together though ( Not a date, just really want to be friends with her and not ruin this friendship at all). Anyway, what am i supposed to do to get better at holding conversations though ??

    In my experience: Ask questions and remember the answers. Ultimately a lot of people like to talk about themselves and their interests. What hobbies are you into? Sewing. What type of things do you sew? Mostly clothes. Got any current projects ‘under the needle’? Yeah I’m making a babygro for my cousin who is pregnant. Etc

    Then the key part is: next time you speak remember what they said and ask relevant follow up questions. How’s that babygro coming along? How’s your cousin doing? how far along is she now? It shows you’re interested and care, it’s how you build rapport with people.
