What To Talk About?

[Just Be Optimistic]

I'm going to be going to a show with one of my old friends. We haven't talked for a long time..for no reason. Things just sort of got awkward and we stopped talking. We're both shy. sad

Lately, I've tried to get us to start talking again and we're progressing. We're talking to each other a lot more and she invited me to go to a show with her. I agreed. However, I don't want to screw things up by not saying anything. What should I talk to her about? What would you recommend?
I feel like this is such a silly question but I'm really out of ideas.

Just simple, casual conversation. Try not to force yourself into saying anything just to keep a conversation going. I know it's cliche to say, but keep away from the 'superficial' topics like school, weather or work. Maybe start off by asking questions like how family is, or life in general. I usually ask a lot of questions to keep the other person talking, since personally I am much more of a listener than a talker. However; make sure not to make everything you say a question. Maybe if you ask about their family, keep bouncing ideas off, like maybe if she mentions something about her mom, relate it to your mom or whatever.

Make sense? Haha this was kind of spontaneous. But she's your friend and wants to hang out with you, I'm sure the last thing she is doing is judging you so be yourself and just relax :>

i found the easiest way to start a conversation, is to point something out that has a large variety of opinions to do with it. I sat on a park bench once with a friend, not much to do, and i said "hey, what do you think about that building there?" in the end we had a nearly 3-4 hour discussion on architecture and we aren't even into architecture XD. Even if it is just you talking it makes the other person feel more comfortable, so just keep talking and slip in once in a while a question to make them feel in it as well.
