background info lol:
My dad and his girlfriend have been together for about 5 years now. His girlfriend has 3 children. 2 of which I have met and gotten to know a little bit, and one I have only met a few times.
I live at home with my dad and his gf. Her daughter, who I have only met/seen a few times is staying with us for a few days. She's in her middle 20's, i'm 20.
It's really awkward(sp), and we have nothing to say to eachother. I just woke up today and she is here staying with us and there is just nothing to say.
I don't know what to do or how to break the ice because I don't know anything about her and I don't want to just start asking a bunch of questions.
Uh, I need to get to know her and have everything be on a normal level so maybe we can all start becoming a family. (btw my dad's gf's kids all live in different parts of the country, not around here)
So what do I do? What do I say?

Just try to make her feel comfortable in your pressence you dont want her to think your a snob ask her how shes doing and if shes likes the area and if she needs to know where all the hot spots are you can assist her.

Well, considering that you are both in your twenties. I think you boyh have more than you two know in common. It's just the "ice breaker" topic you both need. The only way to do this is by asking questions. Tell her what you like about her mother. Ask her do she like a certain group your pretty fimilar with and ask has she heard the lastest song? Try taking a trip to the mall. Maybe fashion is the key. Rent a new movie and elaborate on it. You both will soon find your common ground. Good Luck and GOD BLESS!!!!!

Ask her to go for a walk. No time like the present to get to know someone and going for a walk can open the door to conversation!
Get out there! Believe me she is probably as uncomfortable as you are and it would be nice for someone to make the first move!!!

Invite her to go shopping, out to lunch, or a movie. The conversation will just come naturally once you're out someplace together. It's great that you want everyone to be one big happy family. Good luck!

Treat her as you would any other person you'd like to get to know. Invite her to see the area and meet your friends. You both probably have much in common. But you'll never know that unless you get to know each other. Let her know that you 'd like to communicate with her, after she leaves. (if you think that you mite want to do that)

I understand it's awkward for you and is a difficult situation. first always be nice,positive and keep smiling... Keep the lines of comunications open-ask about interests or hobbies..Likes movies take her to one. See what music she likes. Find a common interest. (It will be ok)
