For a guy to talk to a girl.

Is there a need for attraction before anyone can come together to talk ?
Or is it purely platonic ? IDK .
For me yes... I need to at least have a good impression of you before I can start talking to you. If not , we would have no topics to talk about at all...
I tend to talk to girls more and is more random when it comes to them . somehow i feel the need to be random, so that its easier to maintain that friendship cause i can just random with them anytime.

But the thing is , when we are talking , and as we get to know more of each other , the attraction level may increase or drop. Its a delicate thing on whether we can maintain just platonic or upgrade to a different level of relationship , or even downgrade to just nothing.

All this would boil down to topics and experience. If we have the same topic to talk about, I am sure it'll be very fine and we can talk all day all night if there are common interest.
Experience sharing is also crucial in letting the other party know more about you. understanding makes it easier to break the ice. or even to warm up the conversation.

so , whats in it for you? when you start talking to the opposite sex?
