Now I wouldn't be asking for help on this really, but I've just started going out with this guy, who I only met about a month and a bit ago via myspace, then we met up and really hit it off, and it's cool cos he only lives a half hour drive away, then we made it official coming up to a month ago, it's just I feel like I don't know what to say half the time, and I recently met his friends, but didn't really talk to any of them, and I just feel they get the impression I'm this stuck up bitch,.. But please, any advice on striking good conversation would be great :) thanks :)

Psycology 101: Everyone likes talking about themselves. A good way to strike up a conversation is genuinely taking an interest in the other person. A good game I like to play is to ask myself, what makes this person tick deep down? What is it that truely motivates this person to wake up in the morning? And then I ask the person questions designed to get answers to these questions. They will almost always give you something to chitchat with them about.
