There are a few topics on here about conversations and asking people about their lives and stuff, this is fine but how do i get past the introduction stage?
I can get past the "how are you doing/what is your name" bits, i then try to ask them questions about their job or hobbies. I try to crate a list of topics to talk about based on what i know about them but when i get to the end of that list i dont know what to say.
It seems most people can have a conversation that naturaly flows through different topics, but I dont know how to do that. even when i ask them questions about themselves it always seems to be a conversational dead end.
--------
If i talk to people at work, it starts off well, i have a "getting to know them" conversation, and in the first one or two weeks i can get along well with most people there, but after a month i dont know what to say anymore so spend more time by myself at lunch and just say hello to people as i walk past their desk. then two or three months later after that i dont even speak to them as i walk past and just spend the whole time by myself.
