Oh and Sunday night there was a spring mixer on campus for all the Indian students, and I met a cute guy who actually remembered me the next time I saw him, and my name! Sad, I know but yeah he wasn't handsy, doesn't know my roommates, he can dance (not ballroom unfortunately), but hey he can keep up with me, and dance fast, for an hour or two with only a five min. break every once in a while! Very rare, and he's cute. So he works at the health science campus, where my internship is so I saw him on the bus to internship and back to the main campus today. He actually likes to party and dance, which is cool, and he showed me the office where he worked! So I made a new "friend"/acquaintance. Call me skeptical, but even if he says were friends, until we actually start hanging out and have real conversations, not small talk, were more on the good acquaintances side.
Okay now here's my problem. We have very little in common besides liking to dance, both liking Excel (I had a project I just finished today at work for the last 2 weeks when I had to do data coding in Excel, but believe me, I still think it's tedious, boring and yes it's sad when you can actually have a conversation about coding in Excel) and that's it. So what the hell do I talk about.
I would like to date the guy, but how can you date someone who you don't know what to talk about? HELP!! Seriously I would like to date him, to at least he asks me questions (sortof), carries out a limited conversation, and he's cute, so I might have a chance with him. There's another cute guy I like that I see on Sunday mornings but I again don't have anything to say besides small talk, how's your work, classes. etc. He graduates this May, and then I'm stuck with knowing what to talk about. This guy is a good acquittance also, and I know his older cousins too. Problem with what to talk about comes up again (again this guy is an electrical engineer in computers, me, liberal arts...), so different backgrounds. The second guy (whose cousins I know as acquaintances) doesn't actually carry out a conversation, just answer questions (as in not asking me any questions), so I'm trying to think of general stuff to talk about. Which is okay, but that doesn't really translate into getting the guy to want to date me. This guy is better than the first guy because he is outgoing and but doesn't party all the time, he's studious and actually works hard (not sure about the first one, I saw his office), we already have the same diet (he's vegeterian also), and at least his family already likes me. Lack of conversation material, and trying to get a conversation to flow, and get him to notice me, is the part I need help with. So what do I do. I'm still in that stage of getting to know the person, where you can't really say everything you would want to, or let them know too much about your quirks.
