How to talk to a guy?

Yes there is a thread about this concerning women, but girls have problems talking to guys too right? (I can't be the only one; and if I already missed this thread I'm sorry). How do you approach a guy or begin to talk to them if you show interest? I always seem to think that no matter the gender being the approacher is awkward and uncomfortable.

It depends, are you talking to someone online? Because most of my friends are guys I met online. Anyways, I approach them by just talking about something like, "Wow, the last episode of HxH man, I'm going to miss it...." and the conversation goes from there. Find common interests, and then go from there.

I'm really bad at approaching someone in person if I don't already know them. Online I just start or join a conversation and sometimes you click with someone and you can tell pretty quick if they like you too. With guys it varies because many guys don't like a girl that is too forward. I'm the opposite and love it when a girl is forward with me because I tend to be shy at first. I find it best just to start casual conversation and see where things go...

it depends on the guy usually talking to someone of the opposite gender is easier than it seems, once the conversation gets going its nice ^.^ i like chatty people so anyone who says hi to me i try to find at least something to talk about, and sometimes just asking simple question like about their day or their interests is a nice way to start to talk to someone ^.^

Lol guess this problem goes both ways. Uh just walk up to him and say hi, comment on what hes doing or if hes wearing something(Anime shirt or clothes you like) uhh accessories, Something he said. So many ways to start a convo. Just need to be able to keep it going. Which if the guy is interested wont be that hard.

@Vampire_Neko: So you'd prefer that the girl just to be open and casual? So approaching with confidence would be more appealing? @Ryan: What about when the conversation begins to die down? Do you prefer a certain method to spark it up again without seeming too forward? @Bryan: That "game" sounds like something interesting and definitely a way to get a conversation going. I think that's a simple solution to continue to be chatty since I find it hard to keep a conversation going. It sounds like a productive approach.

I don't think you have trouble because most girls have it easier than boy approaching a girl. When boy approach a girl, boy always be the one mock. If you read grouping and counseling, there is a part where talk about girls and boys circle. Girl circle is unapproachable unless they accept you in the circle. For approach boy, think of it as playing a game or something, easy to blend in boys group. I hope this help you out.

I think trying to talk to the person you like in a group setting is always a bit easier, but that's not always an option. As far as talking to a guy, just be positive, upbeat, and try to talk about something you're both interested or ask him questions about things he likes. Unless the guy has the wits of a stump, most guys can usually tell when a girl is into them. Lots of smiling and eye contact as well as genuine interest in getting to know them help quite a bit too. Given the social stigma that it's always the guys job to approach and ask out the girl, it's a nice change of pace when the girl does it, but like with any love situation, there is always risk of rejection. You sometimes just have to put yourself out there.
