Hello. I find it difficult to engage in small talk with ordinary people. I really just don't enjoy talking just to talk. Can I get some help regarding conversation topics and how to enjoy conversation please?

Don't force a conversation, practice your conversation skills. Frequent abcnews and the newspaper for conversation topics. Pre-fabricate what you are going to say or have a general outline of things to say. Use a cheat sheet if necessary. Practice in your element. I.e, if you're a sports fanatic practice your skills in a sports bar. Take notes of highlights and stats and funny things that the players are doing, like dog fighting or changing their name to 'ocho cinco.' Collect Snapple Caps with interesting facts on them that you can use to interject into your comments/banter/DHV, etc. Observe how those around you and your targets interact with each other and mimick them. Conversation skills are like any other skill: it takes practice. Learn from your mistakes, your friends mistakes, and that guy on the train who talks to loud's mistakes. If your quarter back keeps getting sacked because you keep running the same play, you need to have a new play or tweek that play until it works. Practice, practice, practice! Do your reconnaissance. If you over heard the girl at the counter of a resteraunt mention she likes 'X', research X so that next week when you are engaged in small talk, you can casually throw out X. I highly recommend the books on the PUA reading list and an form of self help you can find on your weak areas. Go at your own pace, but push yourself. Stay open minded. Keep on truckin'!

What I recently did for exactly this issue was to make a list of what topics:

A. I am genuinely interested.
B. I have very strong feelings.
C. I am competent to discuss.

(Note: for me C is a requirement, because I really don't know much at all about some topics I am interested in or am passionate about, and if I start talking about them it quickly becomes obvious I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.)

When I looked at my list I realized... "Oh my God, I'm a total nerd!"

But then I remembered back to what Style said in "The Game", that whatever your interests, bring HER into MY world, instead of the other way around. I started striking up conversations about my interests, and have been amazed to find out just how many women out there know more than I know about Adobe Photoshop or hydroponic gardening. I've been amazed just how many women really can hold their own in conversations about stem cell research and self-help books. And I've been just as amazed by how many women want to listen to me talk about culinary arts, wines, and electronic gadgets. ... ... Then, I've been completely unsurprised at how fast a woman's eyes will glaze over if I start in about sports.

Anyway, I don't know about your situation specifically, but I once felt exactly as you stated about chatting and small talk, and I realized that my problems came from two places. First I felt inadequate to talk about the topics I THOUGHT other people wanted to talk about, and secondly I felt that other people were incompetent to talk about the topics I really cared about. I changed my viewpoint on those two and I'm doing a lot better. I hope something in here helps with your conversation flow.

The easiest thing in any situation to talk about, is yourself. Not only do you have an endless list of things to talk about but if you're talking about say something you like, it gives you the ability to ask questions about them.

Never over do it on the personal stuff though, only use yourself as a conversation starter if you have nothing else, and only up to the point where you've got a good enough conversation going to talk about things such as common interests.

Hell, even talk about her clothes. It really doesn't matter. Just don't insult her, lol.
