Question
Hey,
 
  I met this girl named May a while ago. This past weekend on Halloween, her ex-boyfriend called her up to hangout. After saying she would get back to him, she contacted me. I already knew her before this, but had never really hung out. We got together on the night of Halloween and chilled till 2 ish. She even considered sleeping over. Shes a really great girl. Anyways since that night we've been texting non-stop and talking to each other on the phone for hours. Im planning on seeing her either tomro or the next day. I was thinking of taking her skating, or bowling, or to a movie; but she really just wants to stay inside. i dont really know what that means?
     Anyways, my main problem is coming up with a topic to talk about... I dont want their to be an awkard silence. What can i talk about while chilling, during a movie, or anywhere...

   -PLEASE ANSWER SOON-

Jay


Answer
Dear Jay,

Girls like to talk, let her carry the conversation.  If she gets quiet, ask her questions about herself.  What is her family like, does she have siblings, does she want to go to college, what does she want to be when she gets out of school, etc., etc.

Don't worry, if you talked until 2ish, you won't run out of things to say the next time.

Best wishes,

Deb
