Hi everyone,
Since I became hooked on StevePavlina.com I have tried to convince myself to improve in many areas of my like, but social skills seem to be lacking the most.

Nearly every self help and personal development guide I read focus more on atracting people to talk to, but never how to start a conversation, or what to talk about. I find it quite difficult to just start a conversation and keep one going. Even talking to my friends doesn't always work out.

I would love some tips on improving conversation skills, how to start conversations, what to talk about, all of that. Even if I find it in me to start a conversation, after one topic dies so does the conversation. Your adivce would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
