I've noticed I have a problem with my conversation skills when I'm trying to build attraction. Right now I still developing good stories to tell and it is tough because I honestly don't do much with my free time besides school work and going out with friends on the weekend nights. I think a big problem I have is that I'm bad at flirting and just good at having conversations about common interests and other fluff stuff, but while I'm talking about this I'm not communicating that I'm looking for more than just a friend who is like me. I know it is a general question, but what are some tips on what to avoid as far as conversation topics and what not when you are still building attraction. Also, flirting in general is has never been my strong suit. What sort of topics or questions do you guys bring up when still flirting. I know it is often situation specific, but do you all have anything you fall back on when there might be a pause in the conversation. THanks for any advice.
