I think one of the easier ways to get friends interested in soccer would be to be good yourself. Like if you can do a bunch of freestyle juggles, it shows them one of the depth of soccer and make them think "wow. I never seen that before". Then let them try it and see how difficult it is.

There are always something to talk about in any situation even if you know nothing about that topic. You can start a conversation with a question.

example:

girl (at gym): i'm not sure if i'm doing this right, etc
muscular guy: oh yeah.. let me show you
girl (talks about guy): how long about you being doing this?


guy sees beautiful girl and sits next to her
guy (beginning of school): I heard this class is hard
prettiest girl in class i'm not sure yet, but i'll find out
guy(talks about girl): is this class you're taking for a major or minor

yeah so basically the key to making conversation is

a) act inept and get help
b) ask very unique questions like "whats your major"

i mean its fool proof how could you fail

its the idea that shyness is genetic. if you have what they call the shyness gene you will be unable to fall flat on your nose willingly as well -_-


Hahahaha.

Pretty much sums up what I think of half of the advice in this thread.

Just a few suggestions from The Ironman himself:

- Find people who share common interests with you through extracirrcular activities (High School or College)
- Carry an open mind with you no matter where you go, so if you get into a group or one-on-one situation you can strike up a conversation of whatever length you please
- Never be afraid to take a chance and ask somebody to hang out again just as friends
- Start hanging out with your sweet sweet cool Brood War friends, you clearly seem to have an interest in that. Branch out from there.

You only live once. You just can't sit there and let life walk right on by! Hang out with your friends when you have time available and make aquintances into friends.

A little alcohol definitely never hurts in starting up a convo with a girl either =D

What I've learned is that...

Having a job where you talk to customers a lot has helped me be able to talk to any random person.

Being at parties both sober and drunk help me talk to a lot more people and be comfortable.

Gogo.

I use to be a tutor in a big computer lab with friendly people. Before that, I use to be somewhat shy & quiet. The job required me to explain to people in a way they can relate. At night, a lot of them were adults with families.

It's a lot more rewarding job than something like customer service for a department store. The people are more grateful and educated. Sometimes, I would get drinks or invitation somewhere.

It also was a good place to meet girls

I hate all of you. You're asking BW nerds how not to be a BW nerd? Go be extroverted, you'll make a fool out of yourself sometimes but you'll probably get some friends. Just remember, this is only your teenage years and any stupid things you do won't matter.

ok here's my advice for female extroverts.

guys are supposed to be tricking you into having sex with them. why aren't they bothering with you?

A) you look too challenging, too much work
B) they don't even want to have sex with you
C) they're gay nerds

if it's A, be more slutty
if it's B, be more slutty
if it's C, be more slutty somewhere else.

i think that about covers it.

now u might be thinking "no, i want friendship, live life the lovely for the shield battery" or whatever. that's exactly what i'm talking about. what i mean by "tricking u into having sex" is when mens are all friendly, being your friend, "being interested" in what u have to say, liking to be around you, etc. it's a mutal exchange. you get to believe its all care and attention, while he gets u to believe that for sex.

but u have to start this exchange first. seriously. men might not even know this is what they're doing. but anyways. simple. look sluttier. then you'll find being an introvert is much harder, you will be shyly giggling in no time.

also if being sluttier doesnt work. try to be around guys that have consumed some alcohol.
express yourself--madonna
