ie:

Me: Hi. My name's John.
Her: Hi. I'm Jane
Me: How did you hear about this party?
Her: From a friend
Me: Me too

NOW WHAT?! i can never seem to get past the initial stage :( What do you say to keep the conversation going for more than a couple of minutes?

That's one of those ageless questions. Either you have the ability to converse or you don't. Before I got married I never went to parties - work and school.:( Here's my solution: get married. Then you won't have to talk to her. LOL.:D

I second the school/work idea, and if you're both in college, you can ask where she's from and go from there as well.

I've been trying to work on my conversation techniques a little. I work at a local gas station so I meet about a hundred or so people in my shift. I find that when I think to myself "how do I keep this conversation going?" the conversation ends very quickly. However, when I'm in a very good mood and don't even think about what I say I can keep the conversation going for as long as needed.

So, I guess my advice would be either don't think about it so much or get a job at your local 7-11 ;)

problem #1: "Hi. My name's John."
Problem #2: "me too"

Solution #1: "Hi, I'm John."
solution #2 (loose, friendly tone): "Yeah? Great! Want to dance?"

Be confident, but not arrogant. Don't be loud and obnoxious, either. :p Just be yourself, relax, and realize that if she's interested, she'll probably want a real man, not John Wayne. ;)

Step 1: Get a green photon light
Step 2: Get a cup of beer
Step 3: Stand around with the photon light on and held against the beer, makes it glow neon green
Step 4: Wait for the girls to come talk to you

Works EVERY TIME at all parties.

Recently, my school put a section titled "Psycho Pickup Lines" in the school paper.
Examples:

"What's your favorite flavor of wood?"

"May I lick your forehead?"

"You've stolen my heart, but that's okay, since I have three more in the freezer at home."

I think it's *soooo* stupid that it works...but pretend you've had a little more to drink than you really have...girls are stupid and this is stupid...but it works :(

Putting a few beers down doesn't hurt either for getting a convo started. I don't mean get sloppy drunk, but a few drinks seriously loosens you up.

Be yourself. Stop THINKING about what you're going to say or else nothing will come out of your mouth due to you over analyzing the whole situation. She's a PERSON, just like you. You don't need to say everything perfectly...treat her as a normal person or one of your friends and things will go from there naturally.

I, in my countless encounters with women (which is to say, three and a half [that number was pulled out of thin air]) have found direct but open ended questions to be good.

Let's see . . . "how's school?"
"good"
what are you taking?
x y and z
I know a little about z . . . blah blah blah

Personally, once I get the topic on books I'm golden :)

With girls who, erm, aren't so interested in books (they don't exist on this campus), well, what the hell do they talk about anyway? Movies are simple enough. So is family.

The key is to have a couple clever anecdotes of your own, but get her to do the talking. Get direct as soon as you can, but leave it open-ended. There are only so many questions available about the state of the world.

Hope this helps.

Say, "Hey my man, what it look like?"

Or, "your father must have been a thief because he stole the stars out of the sky and put them in your eyes."

I think that's how the quote goes.
