the hardest thing i find about talking to people is topics of conversation
i cant think of anything, and when i do it just seems so forced. i just cant think of anything to say. i simply have no 'chitchat' skills <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> no smalltalk
and eye contact... i dont look at them EVER. omg.
im going to focus on that though, but thats something i can 'fix'
my problem is topics of conversation... WTH do i talk about but doesnt make me seem egocentric, boring, or a geek?
My college started on the 25th. College RULES. Everyones really casual. My longest class is 5 hours long though...Except we usually get out 2-3 hours early. My second class is homebased because there weren't enough to keep it afloat, and then I Have another one thats 3 hours long, then a 1 hour long class. Easy as all hell, and its fun.

"what is he/she like?"
or "what have your past bf/gfs been like?"
yeah it's personal. maybe they don't wanna talk about it, and that's cool. whatever.
the point is, it's just one of the many things you can bring up that <i>isn't</i> just a throwaway topic.
I can talk to girls normally, like a friend ( or like a very sweet friend ), Usually I can just listen to them 12 hours straight and really enjoy the stuff they telling me, when it comes to flirting I know what to say but when I really really like the girl I cant say that stuff and really mean it so I usually dont try to say anything, and when a girls starts flirting I sometimes dont notice it or get really confused of her intention and start making silly jokes (very silly <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->)
anyway I would like to talk about school, but im not on one (wish i was)... but one thing I know about school is that u should ignore the bored ones who like to brag or annoy you, and ignore the populair ppl cuz its probly becuz they have rich parents or becuz they have very rich parents or becuz they have some kind of problem that they need to have 30 fake friends
I'm usually pretty cool around girls.....Unless they are ub3r carmen electra h0t! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
One of my best friends happens to be a girl and we've been friends since 2nd grade. (I'm 11th grade now). I would usually go and tell people if I liked them or not, or I would just let them know in some other way...But I've liked this girl since 3rd grade and I still havn't got the balls to ask her out on a date. She use to ask me on dates in like 7th grade, but me being tottaly rebellious back then turned her down like 5 times..... <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> Poopy on me!
I have absolutely no social skills or self-esteem so I can care less about the girls situation, and that (in a weird twist of fate) has raised my self-esteem. Go figure.
My first day of school was fine, I'm a senior now, I've had about 2 homework assignments in 2 weeks. It's totally awesome. Now I just need a job...

There are just so many good looking freshman girls on campus this year I don't know where to start.
