"fuck off" attitude, you should find someone fast problem solved. | ||

You can do all that, or get wasted one night and become the life of the party. | ||

Now I know that sounds stupid, but it's true. Imagine doing a math problem. The first time you do it, it could take you a long time. Or you might not even figure it out. But after do similar problems repeatedly you'll make the moves which stumped you automatically. The same is for conversation. Now if you were a social little kid then you've had a lot of practice, and you'll be able to keep a conversation going well. If you weren't, you'll be stuck nodding and looking at the clock or whatever. Just make it your goal to keep a conversation interesting as long as possilble (while being able to take a hint of when to stop). | ||

i have no interest in meeting strangers in random settings. i do tend to stare at the floor when i walk around the city. i don't like it when strangers talk to me when im walking to and from work or when i'm riding the train or bus. the only settings im comfortable with are bw events.. especially when i know a bunch of people already and im actually a lot more sociable in that setting.. and clubs.. cuz i like dancing.. but i may become extremely rude to persistent men who wont leave me alone.. or women who just dance too close by.. my boyfriend is not a ganster. i do not live in south california. i do have problems talking to girls.. and/or people in general who don't play bw.. usually conversation goes along the lines of.. "what do you do for fun".. i would say i play video games.. and they would say something else and then silence.. i also have a very short attention span.. if the person im talking to doesn't interest me right away and/or doesnt play video games and/or doesn't know what ubisoft is.. then i tend not to ask as many questions about them.. usually because i don't know what else to talk about.. i may possibly have that "hi. fuck off." expression many times.. im not sure though.. i tend to not pay attention to people as much as i probably should. i think keeping eye contact with someone (usually of the opposite gender) for too long without having anything to say might give them the wrong message. i don't drink. | ||

anyway making conversation should never be a chore and is something that is developed. you may be just expecting too much out of people, there's no way they'd know even a fraction of what you do about something you're passionate about like video games. but seriously, if that's all you're willing to talk about, you might as well stick to bw and video gaming events. if you're unwilling to have other interests/be passionate about other stuff/be well rounded then of course others are going to seem boring. hell, you probably seem really boring to them as well, if all you want to talk about is gaming. i'd advise just getting more interests and not be so limited in your hobbies. remember, it's a lot easier for you to meet people because a) you're female and b) you're attractive. basically you're going to get friends whichever new thing you try. | ||

strengthen the few friendships you already have instead of wasting energy looking for new superficial conversation mates those types of relationships probably don't satisfy you | ||

1) Too picky combined with not meeting the right people 2) Aren't trying to be social/want to be anti social like lil.sis said 3) Just flat out ARENT a social person in general. You're just not made to be a little social butterfly. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the way you might be. | ||
