I'm tired of being in a situation as a college freshman where it feels like a competition between me and several other guys to get the attention of a girls. For example, if it's 4 of us guys eating dinner with 4 girls in the cafeteria, it always seems to turn into a contest to see which guy can be the funniest and most interesting, and whoever does gets all the laughs and attention from the girls, while the other guys are essentially ignored completely.
One on one with a girl, I'm not bad, but I SUCK HORRIBLY at these situations, because I feel like I can't even get a single word in without having to interrupt one of the other guys. Also, I can never seem to think of interesting things to say at such a rapid pace...so I usually go completely silent and just eat my food while pretending to laugh at the amog's jokes. How can I get better at this situation? Any feedback would be great.
