Okay so first things first, Hey! I've been on this sub for a while and it's really helped me with my confidence with women etc. The only problem is, I struggle to hold a conversation with people that I sort of know, both male and female. A bit of background, I'm 15 years old living in Ireland, I have a fairly decent sense of humour and a decent amount of friends, I'm not in the "popular group" but I'm not one of the weird ones either; so I'm somewhere in the middle. What I'm really hoping you can answer for me is this: What are the best tips and tricks for starting and holding a conversation; and if theres any skills I need to help me they would be very helpful too!

Thanks in advance!
