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!

He is definately hated off the forums. He has about one friend at school. And most of the time he ends up walking home alone as nobody wants to talk to him.

How, if you have nothing to talk about it cant be that great.
Cubist identified some problems:

So it will never work out, ever.
> >We have no friends in common
Well you only have one friend anyway.

A little less conversation a little more action then?
The last of Cub!sts problems:
>X is actually a man.
Told you so.

Why dont you start a conversation about posting all this on the net.
"Hey, X, I went to this forum and posted everything we'd done together, but the other members werent too impressed. I was very upset, and they still werent impressed when I posted about us on the hill. Some people you can never please. But they are helping me find things to talk to you about so it will be alright in the end. Oh, but they know you are actually a man"
Then see what she says about that.

i'm so glad that I haven't got involved with this.
It's smacktards like Cubist that make me hate this world.
And do go on this 'woo, I rule because people hate me' trip. This is what losers/goths say to themselves to make themselves feel okay. You're obviously a fool, who's being used by 'x' fellow.

Ok I was going to bed but saw this and it was so wrong it made me laugh so I felt the need to straighten it out before I go to sleep.
Firstly this happened when I was like 12 so I didn't even know them yet. Secondly they go to Uni not College. Thirdly, I'd hardly call anyone who goes to uni a retard and finally I amn't the one making a big deal about it. I said it once and people keep bringing it up in conversation. Like in this thread for example. Go back far enough and you'll see I didn't start talking about that incident again. Someone else did.
