Ask questions and let them do most of the talking if you're not comfortable with your conversation skills.  You'll more then likely find some common ground with which you're comfortable by just listening to what they have to say.  People like when someone is interested in them, even if just in the little things.  \n\nThe best way to start a conversation with someone you'd like to know better - simply smile and say "hello".  If they smile and say "hello" back, you've pretty much got the "green light" to continue.  However, know when to just walk and "move on" if you don't get the response you are looking for.

Tell her she looks stunning that day................ compliment her on something obscure that nobody would notice... like jewlery if she's wearing jewlery compliment her... open the door for her...... stuff like that.. Talk to her.. Ask her how her day is.... blah blah how are her sports etc.. but here is the important key.. ACT INTERESTED if she says volleyball sucked because bleh bleh bleh bleh be like wow! and THINK OF A QUESTION TO ASK .... keep the conversation going... PEople LOVE talking about themselves.. This is a good tactic to impress anyone... Goodluck

Strike up a conversation with as many people as you can.\n\nStart with a simple hello, and progress from there.

Tell her, "You're welcome!"\n\nIt's a great ice breaker, and maybe you two will share a laugh and hold a good conversation.\n\nAlso, you'll get the chance to later ask what she was thanking you for!

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask simple friendly questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice.\n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker.\n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguments they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguments. "The only way to get the berst of an argument is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerely.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nI

Just speak...even random things....talk about the weather, or just start up a conversation. Are you shy? Or do you just not know what to say? I used to be shy..still am....but you gotta gotta learn to come out of your shell. Like I said...strike up a conversation no matter how hard it is...believe me, it works.

Tell her you want to take her out.Ask her what kind of guys she likes(ie; does she like bad boys, or nice guys?).Ask her what alcohol she likes to drink. Keep the conversation light - don't ask about her future or goals in life unless she brings it up.  I like funny, easy going conversations.I get bored with the question"so how was work, what did u do at work today?"-when i come home from work I like to forget about it.Ask her specific questions about herself that you want to know, don't be general & don't ask"so tell me about yourself" - instead ask her so what kind of food do u like?what movies do you like,etc. And then you tell her what food u like or movies u like.Then you 2 will just start having a good conversation & she'll feel open & free to ask u questions to.Then it will come natural & u won't have to think urself "ummm,what do i talk to her about?"

Talk about favorite foods, gossip of any kind, Ask him questions about himself that way he will notice you have some interest with him. Try to make the conversations equally, but if he's a shy guy then you will talk most of the time but say things that he could be interested in to. Be yourself and have a good time!

I know it's a bit scary but try talking to them.  Useful conversation starters are Who, What, Why, When, Where and How.\n\nIf you like, go practice on someone else first.  Start small - ask an approachable looking stranger "what time is it?"  There, that was easy.  Now ask someone else for directions "Is there a record store round here?"... and keep going.  When you're feeling more confident approach the person you have a crush on.\n\nAsk them a simple question... if that goes ok, ask them another... then ask open questions that you can develop into a conversation, like "What do you think of Green Day?".\n\nGo ahead, give it a go.  Good luck.

Think of some good open ended questions you can ask and some topics you feel comfortable talking about. Have a gameplan that you feel okay with and let the conversation just flow from there. \n\nAlso, positive thinking, quit telling yourself you are bad at one on one conversations. Tell yourself you are improving at them. Keep thinking that way and it won't be long til you do.\n\nRemember you have nothing to lose and he is going to be talking to you because he wants to know you. He'll give you all the time in the world to come up with the right words and he's probably nervous too. Also, just be honest that you get nervous talking one on one sometimes. No guy is going to fault you for that. Most likely he'll be flattered.
