Hello All - Just a quick note I am new to this.....
Lets get the boring bit out the way. I am 21 years old. Most of my life so far I have had problems creating interesting conversations with people. Whenever I try to make friends, they all seem like there getting bored of me and talk to someone else because I don't seem as interesting. I have recently been diagnosed with a condition which affects my thinking and information intake.
Five weeks ago, I started a new job, there is someone I talk to and hang around with at lunch, however I am worried he is getting bored of me already. Some days there will be moments where I manage to make him laugh but a lot of time we'll just try to talk about anything and smile at each other. At lunch, unless I find something that engages him properly into a conversation, he will be constantly on his phone and it feels awkward because I stuggle to make conversation. When we worked in the same department, sometimes we would be in the same corner or something and start following each other round lookig busy if there was nothing to do. two days ago I was moved to a different department and I may be over thinking things but at lunch he's either forgetting to meet up or not wanting to be around me, however I still catch up with him.
He doesn't start any conversations that much either but not sure how to approach thinks. I have searched this in google and I get webpages explaining opening lines and questions when I have probably bombarded him with enough questions already. I go home everyday thinking, ''oh my god, ive talked to him about my view on everything''. I've invited him to the cinema but he said he may watch the film when its out on dvd, that he doesn't get out much and he plays rugby every saturday. Sometimes he will look really happy to see me though which is nice.
I'm in a conversation crisis and want to be friends with him on a bigger scale. Any advice, I would appreciate
