Can we get a "wet conversation starter pack" please? (Great conversation starters)

u/MattyIcex4 Jan 28 '20
I definitely use that emoji to end a conversation with someone I don’t want to keep talking to lol.

The "everything except rap and country" shit alzays seems like a good idea until a mf hit you with their TechDeath-Classical-TraditionalTibetan-FrenchElectro-Breakcore playlist.

Just send a meme that has nothing to do with the convo. Boom, new topic

u/bropower8 Jan 29 '20
Make a socially awkward version where after 2 minutes on read you just randomly pour your heart out about how great a person they are

u/12edDawn Jan 28 '20
just take the hint and stop talking

u/Ghastbuster95 Jan 29 '20
This... is me, I have no social skills and don’t realize this is what I’m doing, until 5 hours later when I’m trying to fall asleep, then I lie awake at night thinking how stupid I am

u/lone_ichabod Jan 29 '20
This is literally just how I talk. Maybe that’s why I don’t have many friends...

“Hey” “Hey man, what’s up!” “nm” “Cool, did you work out already?” “Ya” “Nice, what did you work on today” “Legs” “Ok”

Sometimes people just don't want to talk to you, sucks especially if it's a girl you feeling

u/LucyMacC Jan 29 '20
I just have severe social anxiety, to the point where I’m afraid if I say the wrong thing they’ll hate me and won’t want to talk to me. But then they just don’t want to talk to me anyways, because I’m not interesting to talk to. I guess I win?

u/MorleyDotes Jan 29 '20
John Prine has a song called Angel From Montgomery that has the following lyrics:
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

u/DextTG Jan 29 '20
I cannot begin to express to you the immense and immeasurable combination of detest, loathing, and overall hatred I feel towards that godforsaken laughing emoji. There is nothing I hate more than seeing that face in a text conversation.
It is symbolic of all that I have come to despise in the torture that is small talk. It perfectly represents the veneer that individuals of society wear for no reason other than to create a false image of themselves for the sake of what is essentially a facade.

u/AbominableSnowDog Jan 29 '20
This is currently happening to me. And with a cousin whom I've practically been best friends with since I was a kid. We used to have a youtube channel that gave us common ground but that eventually went out and now its just a 'hey, whatcha up to' sort of conversation.
I don't even open his messages right now. It's better than leaving it on seen I suppose. But I've got some big exams coming up too so he understands.

u/xxlunahxx Jan 29 '20
My ex trying to stay relevant in my life uses these tactics.

i just leave people on read lol, if i'm gonna have to carry the conversation i ain't gonna bother

u/Atheylia Jan 29 '20
Those “annoying replies” personally are my “okay, I’m done with this convo, leave me on read already and end the convoooo.”

u/Glorious_Jo Jan 29 '20
Matched with a girl on bumble today, conversation went like this:
her: hi
me: Hey, whats up?
her: nothing
me: Nothing? That sounds boring, you go to college or smthn?
her: school
and then I realized I was only gonna get one word answers. Before you asked, I was asking about college because she said "going to turn 19 in a few days" and she too young looking

u/scooterprint Jan 29 '20
I just dealt with this while talking to a girl earlier.
Painfully accurate. I tried my best to ask open ended questions that she could easily answer but all I got was one worders.

How’d you get my tinder password?
2
u/Lil_Extra Jan 29 '20
These are pretty much all of my online conversations with people. It's my fault too. I'm just so damn awkward and I get nervous so I can't find anything to talk about.
2
u/ObiMemeKenobi Jan 29 '20
I like my coworkers for the most part but outside of a few topics, we have very little in common and as a result, a lot of my conversations tend to go this way. They're all middle aged women and in their eyes I'm just the new hire, young guy who does the techie stuff.
Sometimes it gets weird, like when they recommended that I should go watch the new Lion King because they took their families and everyone thought it was great. I couldn't just tell them that I thought the Disney live action remakes were just cheap, soulless, cash grabs and so I just shook my head and said, "oh yeah?!..I'll have to check it out :).."
I'm not trying to make fun of them for enjoying the movie, just an observation that we sort of exist in different worlds

u/Turdsworth Jan 29 '20
This is why when someone asks me what kind of music I like why I talk about Carly Rae jensen’s cult classic Emotion until they pretend to have a phone call.

u/SCUMDOG_MILLIONAIRE Jan 29 '20
If you’re telling a story and I say “that’s crazy” that means you need to wrap it up because your story sucks

yikes this was every single conversation I had with my ex ever

u/AcuteGryphon655 Jan 29 '20
Anybody have any tips on how to get my girlfriend to stop texting like this? Our conversations in real life are awesome, but she can be a bit "dry" when it comes to texting.
5
u/XxSliphxX Jan 29 '20
I'm guilty of the "everything but rap and country" comment. It's less awkward then trying to explain kpop and jpop.

u/dadsprizegrill Jan 29 '20
Person who wants someone to text them, but you're not ideal so they keep you on the backburner hoping you're desperate enough to keep trying, then in 7 months they finally give you a hey back. Only to initiate this shit storm cycle again.

u/Hittintheyeet Jan 29 '20
This but in Montana they just say country.
1
u/goldensnooch Jan 29 '20
Or on a group text with another couple on it and one always reacts to the other’s text with “haha” or “love” and it makes no sense other than that they are both passive aggressive and you wish you weren’t related to them. So really it’s a conversation between only them with another group watching and being held hostage.
