Hehehe..the ol' sawdust on your tongue, eh? Just talk. Don't be afraid to say something stupid- you probably will if you're really self-concious about it. Ask him questions about himself, and encourage him to get to know you better. That's what I did with my boyfriend...need I say more?  Good luck  |

Well when I feel there's an awkward moment of silence coming I just beat it before it takes effect. Personally I'm a talker I talk all the time even in my sleep. Just talk but not too much. Talk about teachers, your plans after school, colleges, prom etc... it'll come naturally after you guys start to really talk that's what always happens to me good luck *hugs*  |

If you both can talk with other people around, but not when you are alone, it sounds like he is just as nervous as you are. Asking questions about his family, any sports or clubs he is interested in, what his plans for the weekend are, are all good topics. As a public speaking coach, I would say that if you were giving a speech, silence would be preferable to stammering. Remember, it is not entirely up to you to keep the conversation rolling, don't blame yourself for not doing your part if he is answering your questions with one word answers. All you can do is try. Take a cheat sheet with topics before hand (written on the smallest piece of paper) to refer to if you are stumped. Stop, take a deep breath and remember how exquisite you are as a human, then let the conversation roll naturally.  |

By the way, saying your a loser is giving your brain subconcious cues to fail. NEVER say that you are loser. EVER!!! |

OMG PIXIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!  This is *AWESOME*!! I'm so happy for you! Well, if you find that you are having a hard time talking to him, maybe you can tell him something to the effects of he makes you tonguetied or speechless! Or that you're really nervous around him! I'm sure he will not only understand but be flattered, and hopefully that will help you relax and just HAVE FUN!!  |
