Im talkin to this guy and hes really depressed, so im trying to think of things to talk about to keep his mind off being depressed, and to try and cheer him up.
Can you guys give me some things to talk about? Thanks..

Does he like music? Music is good. It's food for the soul and a good diversional therapy for depression. So does dancing to good music. Has he seen any latest movies? Lots of mystery and thriller!

If he is really depressed then trying to cheer him up is the worst thing you can do. Here is my suggestion. Pack a picnic and go to a park (if it is not too cold outside) that has a lake. Sit out your blanket and your basket. Then just lay there on the blanket and ask him what he is thinking about. If he says nothing then just lay there. Hold his hand and tell him you are a friend who will listen but if he is not in the mood to talk just simply being there and being quiet says much more than cracking jokes and trying to get his mind off of whatever it is he is thinking about. Maybe take a nice CD player with some soft music and just enjoy the day together. Take a long walk and skip rocks. You don't have to say a word. . . .Just be there.

good on you - trying to cheer him up! but remember he may need professional help and you are not a professional! So try and cheer him up but dont put a heavy on yourself if he doesnt get better - you can't HELP him in that way.
good ideas tho: sport, current events (but not depressing news etc:) the future and what there is to look forward to!

Talk about the things that he likes. Then, maybe a little of what you likes, because sometimes, once you are excited and being happy, you can infect him with your happiness! ^__^

Talk about sex. That should get his attention. Oh and make it funny.
