I'm going to hang out with this girl I like, and hopefully ask her out, and I was just wondering, if you were/are a 13 year old girl, what would you want to talk about? I'm not the best conversationalist, so it would help to have a few things to say. Thanks (-: Reply to this Question

 Well I am not a 13 y/o girl but most people like to talk about interests and hobbies and a lot of people just like to talk. LOL
So just keep in mind a few questions and anecdotes of your own to share with her and that should get you started in conversation. Try to do open ended questions as: What sport do you like? What are you doing during the summer? Where have you gone on vacation? and so forth instead of: do you like the beach? That last question is close ended meaning the answer could just be yes or no as opposed to the other ones in which you would expect someone to talk a bit more. Whenever you ask something, after she answers, you can tell your own anecdote.
If you feel it is too forced or too tense, maybe try to comment on something like music or movies. This should let you know what she likes. If she hits a topic in which she is really interested try to stay there for a while. Complimenting her is also good (if you like her) but be sincere about it. Instead of: you have the most amazing eyes humanity has ever seen, go for, you have beautiful eyes. Simple, short and sweet!
Hope it helps... good luck!

Ask about her life, friends, anything about her. Act attentive (even if you're bored) & give comments that show her you're involved in what she's saying. Offer your own opinions & comments but do it sparingly. When she gives an opinion, act surprised & ask why she feels thinks that. A teenage girl can spend a great deal of time listing off reasons why girl "x" is a slut.....
