im 16 and my sister is 29 so we obv have a huge age gap but we r unapologetically ourselves around each other w/ no judgement
it might not be totally comparable bc me and her r family but being authentic can lwk make things funnier anyway. like when she says something dated/ ”un-genz” i make fun of her (JOKINGLY) but at the same time i learn A LOT from her perspective and same goes for her when i talk about stuff she’s not familiar with
in the end being cool doesnt really matter tbh like im sure this girl dgaf regardless and would be more weirded out if u tried to force something to seem “cool”
if u r REALLY struggling to find things to talk about ask her about her for some hot gos cause telling my sister about what crazy shit happened at school that day is like my favorite thing ever

I have younger cousins (~15-30 years younger) I’ve always gotten along with, and I think it’s because I’m just myself with them. I try to ask them questions that aren’t school-related, that might be a tip. School questions seem perfunctory and you won’t come across as interested in them. I’m sincerely interested in them and that must come across.
Basically, don’t try to be cool. You’re in the same generation but right now the 7 years between you is huge! Being older is a good thing because she could be curious about real life. And if she isn’t interested, let her be and sit next to her while you both look at your phones!

Look at them and notice something that they actively chose today. Easy ones are like clothes, bags, jewlery, makeup or whatever. But you’d probably have even better luck with like if they’re holding a shopping bag or a book or a cup of coffee or the keychain on their keys. idk those are just the examples I thought of. But basically that’s something intentional, so that’s something they will have thoughts/feelings/opinions on. Ask a question or make a comment that requires them to reveal that. Like a question you would want someone in your life to ask you about something that you put energy towards, yk? Like for me I always want to talk to people about books I’ve read or that theyve read. Or when Im holding a food or drink I probably could talk about why I wanted that.
But the most important part dude. Is to gauge reaction after that. If they wanna talk more then yay. If not, you gotta let it go don’t push. It’s a them thing, not a you thing.

ik ppl hate hearing this, but just be straight up. maybe break the ice by sending a meme about ur situation to make it light. and then be like, hey i like the back and forth but i would actually want to hang out and date/go out.
and then at the end you can send another funny meme to make the interaction less awkward. like a bye lol type thing
