I have a lot of people (read: girls) on msn, but the problem is that I have forgoten a lot of them too and I dont know where did I got their msn from.
Lots of these girls are pretty hot and I want to get to know them (again). So... what is the best "opener" to start a conversation and how to keep it going?
What is the best thing to say and how long conversation should be?
I really want to renew relationships with these girls. But I think they also dont know who I am.
Any good advice guys?

Haha, i have just the same problem I tend to just be blunt if i havent spoken to them in a while "Hey, how are you. This is a little embarrassing but what was your name again? Its the worst party of being popular "

Tric is, dont game to many. I also tend to block them after a few mins of really good convo so they remember the conversation, then just unblock them when it suits. Otherwise, like me, you will end up with 30 people saying hello to you when you log on

I like the part when u say: Its the worst part of being popular heh . But how to keep the conversation going and I dont want to ask just common questions like: where you from etc. - interrogation is not seduction. What kind of question will let her the chance to talk more?

I tend not to ask questions
Simply tell her in short-ish sentances what you did today. Hit some key DHV words, dont give away to much detail. She'll beg to know more. Then she'll oftern tell you about her day, or there is nothing wrong with asking. Situational stuff works aswell, asking if she had been watching the olypics (assuming your into it) or w/e.

I just do a "How YOU doing?" and try to get a few laughs and perhaps a bit of small talk out of them.. and then I ask 'eh.. this is a bit embarassiing, but your name is Alys, right?'. If you've made them laugh they'll usually want to keep talking to you, even if you messed up their name. And many times you realize that they have forgotten your name too (which they can now ask without feeling silly about it) If they complain I say something about it being pretty damn hard to keep track of names with all of my contacts changing pictures and screen names constantly. Throw in some more jokes for good measure. Always works for me anyways

Started 2 convos yesterday and I was being all C&F.. worked well (I think).
