Conversations, how to make a good one??? HELP!! Options

[doom_diver]

Well, I am kinda problematic but leave those aside because I can handle it myself. However, the problem that I have is with conversations. First, I don't seem to have the courage to start convos on MSN with my classmates, I have this feeling that they dont wanna talk to me and will use the 'brb' to disc me. Afterwards, even if I manage to start one, I dont know what to talk about. The model convo for me is :

Me: Hey!
Classmate: Hi
Me: Wassup?
Classmate: nm
Me: same here
Classmate: ............
Me: (Damn what should I say)

Usually after that the convo dies and loses the momentum.

Summary:

How to start convo
How to get convo going
What to talk about

Any help appreciated for all those things!!!

School work. Teachers. Other classmates (be careful about that one, it could backfire on you).

it's not that hard to have a conversation.

you: hi, how are you, anything interesting happen this past weekend?
classmate/person/guy/girl/whatever: fine, nope
you: aww, maybe we can hang out next weekend and try to make up for it.
or if they're like "yeah something great happened"
you: what happened?
classmate/person/guy/girl/whatever: *tells you*
then you go from there and share experiences

talk about your interests, things you like and dislike, debate things, teachers, schoolwork, tests, etc.

i'm sure that you can rearrange my introduction/conversation thing to make it sound cooler or something.

You can always say that you like their shoes, even if you don't it makes them feel good and you can say. "Oh, where did you get them? Because I wanted my mom to get me those but...[insert reason here]" Then you take it from there, asking what you guys have next period and if they did the homework.

I hate it when you start talking to someone, and even though they are online, they are busy. Or they just don't say much. So I just ignore it, leave it on and just wait for their reply while I'm online doing my homework or whatever. Or if it's taking up much space, I close it while I do other stuff. If they don't respond me back before I leave, I just leave without saying bye or anything.

But usually when there are times when you got nothing to say but you want to talk, just ask them something or talk about anything that happened to you or them today. Or simply anything out of random. Seriously, once I just made fun of my friend who was only a month younger by say something that included "my child" for fun. Lol. Since she's younger. And then you know what happened next? We both had fun on msn talking to one another through children literature! Apparently I was her mom and since she was my daughter, we had to play our roles. & we somehow got the story of Little Red Riding Hood, her friends and all those other characters involved. It's crazo. Or how my friend and I were arguing but then I started using words from Harry Potter so he wouldn't understand. & how he would say stuff in Japanese or whatever so I can't understand. It's all for fun =D

[misoshiru]

class, homework, movies, music, what they did over the weekend, and random topics like that.

people don't usually just try to use excuses on not talking to you.

But usually it starts off with how are you then a "nothing really.."

if that's so, start using things that you noticed, or questions you have,
sometimes it jogs something in their brain
and they remember a past experince
and usually a good convo starts from there.

Or so I hope, good luck.
