I think I have a great relationship with X. Personally I could just sit and hug X for years just in silence. However I never have anything to say and since I can't always be doing that...and more...there are some awkward silences. I am getting better talking to X but it's still not good enough. I don't understand it myself. I am normally quite a sociable guy. Just last Saturday at my cinema group I talked for hours with this girl and her mate and we ended up going into town after and I am meeting her again later. Why is it I find no trouble talking to her but I do with X? Well actually...I don't care why, I just want to know HOW I can be more sociable. I don't want to ruin our relationship because I barely have anything to say.
I think the main problems are that:
>X is 4 and 3/4 years older than me so we are both at completely different stages in our lives with little in common and little room for overlap
>We have had very few experiences together to talk about because of this. For example I love to hear all these stories X tells me about past jobs and stuff but I haven't even had a job. Other stories outside of work are good to talk about too but i am in none of them and haven't really gone anywhere or done anythign with X before story worth.
>We have no friends in common
>We never really go anywhere with a purpose. Never really go anywhere that'd direct the conversation a certain way or would allow us to do something really memorable that we could talk about later. Ok we went to the cinema today to see Starsky And Hutch before doing the deed which helped a little but normally we are just walking through Edinburgh until we find somewhere to get busy and seriously we have VERY LITTLE to talk about.
>We can't meet up at X's house just to muck about and have a laugh as X's boyfriend is there and it's bloody miles away.
I think the answer is to do more activities with X like going out drinking more often and going places just for a laugh, doing things just for a laugh. Neither of us are exactly rich though, especially not me considering I'm a pennyless student so that could be very hard. Until then though I really need some help becoming a better conversationalist. If you've read the whole post you'll see the problems and be able to help...hopefully. Thanks in advance all!

Oh it's not extra lengths for me though. This is the only way I can talk to them. You however have many other far easier means like MSN. Oh and last time I checked I was posting about relationship problems. THat's really not impressive.

Exactly. I wouldn't waste important time insulting you, you arent that important.
However it certainly isnt as sad as having nothing to do at home except going extra lengths to impress cyber friends about your escapades with mr X.

Yeh Doonhamer does know me at School. He's the guy I gave the black eye to. Him and his mates. THe same ones who started the petition at school follow me onto the forums every now and again to spread abuse as a form of revenge. It's funny really. They don't actually do anything worth while on the forums just come on occassionally to win GAD (and fail) and insult me. It's as if they have nothing to do at home but go to extra lengths to insult me. Ironic considering I'm going to extra lengths to ignore them.

Agreed. Cubist should just get the hell out, cool off for a while, change his name and then return.
In other words, pull a Shaneo! :D
