Ah man, if there's one thing I'm pretty bad at it's keeping a conversation alive. It's kinda hard to know what to say past "hey" and "how's you?". How do you talk to someone who doesn't have much in their profile to talk about?

I wouldn't be chatting with them in the first place....
I would only respond to a detailed interesting profile....

Profiles that have no info indicate to me that the person doesn't really care....
Whereas an interesting profile means the person is serious in their search...

Personally the only emails that I respond to anymore are the ones that have taken the time to read my profile, has something to say so I get where you are having a problem breaking the ice.

I personally don't send many messages out but when I do there has to be something for me to work with... A good profile is a must on the internet and if they are too lazy to fill it out then they are going to be too lazy to put any effort into the conversation.

So my advice is to in your search click quickly moving on til you find an interesting profile.

Then send a short nice note about what struck your fancy.

Good luck and best wishes..

Oh dear, don't run after someone, who doesn't run after you! I found out the first movement shows how it gows in the relationship. If she runs after him, she always has to do that. If he runs after her, that's perfect. You feel so special.

You showed your interest. That's enough. Keeping the conversation going is of both sides. If nothing come from the man, then stop it, and if needed you block him. There will come a man who really needs you. Be blessed!

Dang....should have got this advice sooner...
I run after all the girls, but they run faster....now I go faster...but they go faster to...help, what kin I do......Ah! thank you....the secret is to run after someone your age.....just saying...

Why do you think you're pretty bad at it.

When someone is conversing with you what goes on in your head.
Do thoughts and feelings come up, even "stupid" ones, you're just too scared to let them out?

Or does absolutely nothing come into mind whatsoever when someone is talking to you?

Because it may not be your problem at keeping the conversation alive.
A lot of people, especially online, come online in the first place in order to hide behind it, to hide behind their shell, and indirectly force others to drag them out. It's how they feel valued and desired.

And a lot of people allow/want conversations to just die.
That way there is no conflict. A lot of people don't want to be rejected, and they don't want to be the one rejecting.
A lot of people come online because they can't handle negative emotions in any way, feeling them, giving them to others, so it's easier to just kinda kill a conversation hiding behind a screen rather than address anything directly.


Not really.
You can talk about anything. You can even talk about how you don't know what to say past "hey" and "how's you" and why you think that is.

Or are you really asking/saying "It's kinda hard to know what to say past 'hey' and 'how's you' in a way that guarantees the response you want and guarantees they judge you (or not judge you) in the way you want."


By talking about what's interesting to me and bringing them into the conversation. Either with conjecture or questions or humor.

Do you expect this is supposed to be like a job interview where you have to limit your conversation only to what's directly and immediately relevant to the job, what will get you the job, and manipulates a positive reaction from them?

You don't.
You can just start making goofy crap up if you want, if that's normal to you.




If what you're "really" asking is "what do you say that guarantees they maintain constant interest and desire in you, turns them into great conversationalists, and gets them to chase you down so you'll talk to them?"
Then the answer is that doesn't really exist.

Ask them why they didn't put enough material in their profile so that a genuine conversation could be developed. After that, ask them if they love Jesus.
