So I'm terrible at striking up small talk. It not only costs me in my relationships with friends, but I am thinking it's keeping me painfully single.
Granted small talk is a little mindless, but I can't exactly just jump in the deep stuff when talking with someone new that I might be interested it. Right? Maybe I should just make a stronger move sometimes.

join something that you like doing, like a sport or activity, like dancing or bowling or something and then you will meet people who like the same activity.

Well it get's an interesting twist, because I'm in the closet. And I don't know any other gay guys, really.

dont worry you can learn (yeah small talk is a little useless and mundane).
i think it helps to be interested in people (or try to be). ask them abt what's going on, what theyre up to, etc. if all else fails, try the weather or something really banal.
