Living Without Small Talk?
I have a few friends who don't like small talk.
I love talking to them and don't want to stop, but I don't have very good social skills, and I don't know much what to say to them.
Starting with friend one? We went through a lot of misunderstandings before, but we're doing better. We're past all that and spending time together, occasionally, and talking to each other.
But still, he's been through a lot and has become a certain kind of character...not that it's bad. He's actually pretty cool. But he doesn't like small talk and I often don't know how to talk to him. Most of what we do is playful arguing and randomness. How do I talk to him? I know how to start it off, but to get into an actual conversation and keep it going is hard.
Friend two? We're not that close yet. We didn't meet much long ago and have barely started talking...but he doesn't like small talk either. He's incredibly interesting though, and I want to keep talking to him, although I don't know what to say. He's not really one for "awkward" moments and such, and I don't like backing him into a corner. With him as well, it seems to stay at playful banter. How do I keep a conversation going with him? Or start one?
Please help me out here, as I said, I don't have great social skills, and helping me out here is greatly appreciated.
1 AnswerFriends9 years agoWhat is a good exotic last name for a fictional character named Tess(full name Lutessa)?
What would be a nice exotic last name for a fictional character in a story named Lutessa? (nickname and usually called Tess)
Role in story: Best friend to the new girl(who's disguised as a guy) and also best friend of love interest of herself and the new girl
Appearance: "beautiful girl..,hair as dark and silky as raven feathers caressing a gorgeous face...slender waist, long legs, and generous bust...elegant hands...eye length bangs framing dark, exotic eyes"
Please help me come up with a good exotic last name! And no, not Mercer for Smallville fans. Also... a synonym for exotic would be nice too =]] haha

2 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoOdd family situation? What do I do?
I have this cousin.
We've kinda been idle with each other for a few years.
Couple years ago, we appear in each other's lives again.
At first... I admit it, I wasn't used to having him and his brother around. I didn't particularly love it. And I'm pretty sure it was kind of obvious.
Then, we went idle again for a couple months.
And they're back. And I'm ....happy.
Although I've only seen them once or twice in the past 4 months.
So now, I want them to visit again. I really miss them...I realized I really like having them around.
I want to tell the older one(I was more distant with him than his brother back then...sorrry.....NO OFFENSE TO HIM) that I miss having him around. That I want him to visit again.
But like I said, we were more distant. So...I don't know how to say it.
How should I do it?
HELP!!
lol thanks :D
P.S. We just bought a whole lot of chocolate ice cream...and he absolutely loves choco ice cream...just like me!! lol hope that makes him wanna come back...
3 AnswersFamily1 decade agoCrushes....and more crushes...Uno problema?
Okay...I have a crush on this guy...who can't remember me. We were friends when we were little, two years later (now), he can't remember me. It took him about 5 months just to remember my name...so crushing on him? Not that easy....
And there's this other guy...who my friend likes. And so do I. And she's my good friend which makes me feel awkward since she doesn't know. I tried not to like him...but I can't seem to help it.
Yes I know I'm crazy...I like more than one guy. But anyways, help?
Thanks :D
2 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoHolding onto the past....?
There's this guy I really like...a lot...no...I love him.
I can't get him out of my head...never!
And the thing is...we're kind of friends but we fight a lot about stupid things. I still really love him because I know there's this part in him that is the guy I fell for...
But I want to get over him. I'm not supposed to like him.....he doesn't like me back....
So what do I do? I get so depressed thinking about him...and I hate it.

There's this girl that I know for a fact hates me. I've heard the rumors she spreads about me, saw her bashing me on the internet, it's just obvious. I've heard her call me a slut, a b****, etc.
But...at school she's really sweet to me, like we're friends again.
I want to tell her off...but don't want to let her know I know everything she said. And I don't want to sound rude...what do I do?

1 AnswerOther - Music1 decade agoAny good ideas for revenge on someone who deserves it?
This guy who I thought was my friend has been spreading nasty rumors about me. Random guys his age come up to me and say 'Ohmigod it's [insert name here]' 'Hi [insert name here]!!!!!!!!' 'Yo [insert name here] Austin loves you!!' 'Ohmigod, YOU'RE [insert name here]?!?!?!?!?!?' It's really annoying now and I can't get him to stop. I don't know why he does it and he won't listen to me. His best friend and I have called a minor truce which makes it all more awkward. It's a fight between the first guy and me and his best friend sometimes gets mixed up in it when I don't want him to. I feel terrible. Any help on any of the points brought up? Keep your adivce nice, clean, and straight to the point. Thanks!
