But what if I can't seem to do it right and it never seems to make sense?

anonymous · Answer

How do you start it off or bridge gaps between conversations?

anonymous · Answer

It depends on the setting, plot, and reason behind the dialogue. What are you writing it for?

anonymous · Answer

Write it in the vernacular. Leave out the parts your reader doesn't care about (Like "Hey what's up" "Nothing" "Okay") You'll notice these pointless conversations are absent from most fiction. 
Try to keep it natural.
