I am a man in my early twenties, and I want to develop more confidence and social ability.

Currently, I am living with my girlfriend, and I dislike bars.

However, I would love to get out and meet women, chat with them, flirt, and develop chemistry and confidence.

Twice a week I have lunch at my university. My plan is to sit down and eat with someone different each time.

I have a few questions for advice:

1) When I sit down with a girl, I am inclined to ask her about her uni courses, interests, and chat about academics. While I am actually interested in this stuff, I realize it is Bad. Boring. Friend material. I Must learn to be *fun*. Any suggestions for casual conversation topics that are *fun*?

2) Any suggestions for targets for a beginner? Should I sit down with a pair of ladies? A single girl? A big group (this seems extra hard)? What sort of opener is appropriate for this setting?

3) Any emergency lines/topics I should just memorize rote for if things stall (as I'm afraid they might?)

i too want 2 know the answer
