To be interesting you actually have to do things in your life. Go on adventures, travel, go swimming with sharks, sky diving etc. In terms of being funny, read books on improvisation, and there are lots of classes that teach improvising, most with a comic flair. Try them out, and they are also great for later dates.

Ah, the gift of glibness. Takes practice, I'm afraid - but you'll learn soon which outrageous thing earns gasps of delight and which leaves you with stony, flinty, unforgiving stares.

I would suggest: use what Reddit teaches you! All the random facts, the triva...like when people post reddit shit on their own facebook to seem interesting and funny? Do that in real life (except say you "read somewhere" that XX; NOT that you saw it on reddit).

All the other comments here are very valid, however one quick thing which I think will help immensely is instead of asking questions, you throw statements out there. Instead of asking what courses somebody is taking at college, you say "I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you're studying English and intending to go into journalism." It actually doesn't matter if what you say is accurate. If you're right, they say "Wow I am actually, how did you know?" If you aren't, they'll laugh and say "Actually I'm studying blah blah blah, what made you think that?" It's a lot more high value than just droning off "What's your name, what are you studying, how old are you, where are you from, okay bye."

Or accept you aren't a funny bloke. I know a lot of girls who get a kick out of being the funnier half. Conversations can be mundane and interesting. If you were invisible and listened to what girls talk about. It could be about nail polish colours for an hour. Girls see and is attracted to the sparkles in people's eyes who talk about something they find interesting. Eg. "Yesterday i watched the funniest episode of the big bang theory. i had never laugh so hard in my life! " Even if she's never watched or heard of the show, she'd enjoy and feed off that 'sparkle' from your eyes and voice. Just don't think, 'i'm being boring' and let your voice whine down and become pitchy. Liiiike, you know when you listen to an excited child talk about how they rode their bike alllll the way to the park !? (or something similar) Well, to you it's not that great but you smile and is keen to continue to listen to the child because of that 'sparkle'.

To be interesting you have to be interested first. Learn to ask open (not yes no) questions then go from there. Eventually you'll be having a conversation which will be interesting to you both (that's when you have to go though but you'd love to continue the conversation some other time so how are we gonna do this.. )

To be humorous? I'm sure you are playful around some people in your life, so you know just work off that template

rephrase your questions. instead of starting with did/do/are/is, start with when/why/how. this will allow you to extract alot more information from what they're saying and make it easier to come up with replies.

All these comments here are good. But the easiest way is to just hang out with interesting and fun people. If you want to work on your sense of humor, hang out with guys who make you crack up and practice cracking jokes like they tell them. You know its about right when they start laughing hard at some of your shit.

Same for story-telling and conversating. I love practicing conversations with people who I have known for a really long time. If you can hold an engaging conversation on a brand new topic for 10-15 minutes with someone you've been friends with for a while, that is really something. Usually when we've known someone for so long, we've got running jokes and typical conversations we always have.
