okay, so I always seem to be able to talk to guys, that don't go to my school, and keep them interested in talking to me. But it seems like at school, I try to talk to any guys, and there is nothing to talk about. I mean, I just normally try to talk to random people, because I'm very outgoing. But like, even texting, some guys don't even reply to me, and it's like I'm not interesting to talk to. Do you know like any techinques to keep the conversation interesting? Normally I don't have this problem, but I'm starting too, and it's like, I'm not really an interesting person, until I can feel comfortable around that person, then I act myself. So any help is welcome. Thanks.

First thing I would try to avoid is using the word "like" to mean something other than "like." I imagine that if it shows up in your typing, then you must use it quite often vocally.

Aside from that, some guys will show an interest and some will not. I would not be too concerned with it. Don't worry about impressing other people. Just be yourself.

I suppose if you really want though, you could express an interest in the person you are speaking with, rather than trying to get them interested in you. Most people like to talk about themselves. Now, I'm not saying to play 20 questions with someone, but asking non-probing questions to gain an insight is okay.

Also, if you get a guy's number, then he is most likely interested.
