    one guy once asked me what the color of my toothbrush is...that was hilarious and we laughed the entire time we talked so just jump in and ask silly stuff! :)

    I personally use that one a lot too, haha actually I think I've overused it a bit, it works with some girls but I have definately had some who are like what the heck are you talking about and just get more awkward. I think something that is really great to get a conversation going or to get them talking to you is to find maybe some common interest ground, like the other day I was at a region dance and I found out that this girl was a freshman, that she loved to sing and was in the concert choir at school, I told her about me being a Senior in Madrigals (Singing group) at our school and for the rest of the dance she had this big excited smile on her face while we were dancing and we had a great conversation about vocals.

    Agency and Accountability

    Choose righteousness and happiness, no matter what your circumstances. Take responsibility for the choices you make. Develop your abilities and talents, and use them for good. Avoid idleness and be willing to work hard.

    Gratitude

    Have a spirit of gratitude in all you do and say. Thank God for your blessings, and express appreciation to others who help you.

    Education

    Prepare to be an influence for good in the world. Obtain an education, and be enthusiastic about learning. Attend seminary.

    Family

    Do your part to build a happy home. Honor your parents, and strengthen your relationships with your brothers and sisters.

    Friends

    thanks for posting this even though i own the pamphlet i think it was good that you posted it

    youth and people should be like this

    Choose friends who share your high standards. Treat everyone with kindness and respect. Invite friends of other faiths to Church activities. Reach out to new converts and those who are less active.

    Dress and Appearance

    Dress modestly to show respect for God and yourself. Never lower your dress standards for any occasion. Do not disfigure your body with tattoos and body piercings.

    Entertainment and the Media

    Choose uplifting entertainment. Avoid anything that is vulgar, immoral, violent, or pornographic in any way. Commit to keeping God’s standards.

    Music and Dancing

    Listen to music that helps you draw closer to Heavenly Father. Do not listen to music that encourages immorality, glorifies violence, or uses offensive language. When dancing, avoid full body contact or suggestive movements.

    Language

    Use language that uplifts, encourages, and compliments others. Use the names of God and Jesus Christ with reverence and respect. Do not use profane, vulgar, or crude language or gestures.

    Dating

    Do not date until you are at least 16 years old. Date only those who have high standards. When you begin dating, go in groups or on double dates. Plan activities that help you remain close to the Spirit of the Lord.

    Sexual Purity

    Keep yourself sexually pure. Do not have any sexual relations before marriage. Do not participate in talk or activities that arouse sexual feelings. Do not participate in homosexual activities. Seek help if you become a victim of rape, incest, or other sexual abuse.

    Repentance

    Through the Savior’s Atonement, you can receive forgiveness and be cleansed from your sins when you repent. Confess your sins to the Lord and to those you have wronged. If the sins are serious, you also need to confess them to your bishop.

    Honesty

    Be honest with yourself, others, and the Lord. Do not rationalize that dishonesty is right.

    Sabbath Day Observance

    Use the Sabbath to worship the Lord, attend church, draw closer to your family, and help others. Do not seek entertainment or spend money on the Sabbath. When possible, avoid working on Sunday.

    Tithes and Offerings

    Willingly pay a full tithe. Attend tithing settlement. Obey the law of the fast.

    Physical Health

    Keep the Word of Wisdom. Eat nutritious food, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. Do not use hard drugs, alcohol, coffee, tea, or tobacco products. Do not abuse prescription or over-the-counter medications.

    Service to Others

    Serve others in your Church assignments and in your home, school, and community. Seek daily the guidance of the Holy Ghost to know whom to serve and how to help meet their needs.

    Go Forward with Faith

    Be true to the Lord and to His Church. Regularly pray in private and read the scriptures. Keep your covenants and listen to the whisperings of the Spirit. The Lord will help you meet your trials and challenges.

    Yeah- I don't play any instruments but its so much fun hanging with guys that do. My one friend (tried) to teach me and my other friend how to play the Jaws theme on the Cello. lol. My friend got pretty good at it too! (I won't mention myself.. haha)

    Also- simple is good. Don't try to be a smart-alek or act like your superior its just annoying. Simple and sweet.

    (I think pick-up lines are hilarious! but not when they're actually used, my friends and I joke around w/ them- but don't do that until you know the chick a little better!)

    i sometimes have the same trouble like you rhorrocks but just be intrested in them as a human being and just show intrest

    i was told that along time ago...lol

    WOW! I ask people what their toothbrush color is... most don't actually know.. haha

    I also ask what their favorite color or pastry is.. just completely random things like that. It gets people laughing and when you laugh you bond. Treat girls like friends, even if you really don't know them. (It works for girls in my experience anyway.. I just treated this dude that I liked like we were friends and now we are! lol) Hope this helps!

    also just keep the conversations simple and stupid.

    simplicity can start a good conversation
