Conversation

>Am I stupid for expecting her to ask
Not at all.

If she doesn't ask, she's either not interested (yet) or socially retarded. By simply telling her your shit, especially if you can make it sound interesting enough and it's stuff that presents you in a good light, you can work around 2/3 of the cases. It's better to decide from case to case and trying to figure the reason first.

So for example
>hey what are you doing this weekend
>blah blah blah
>Oh that's cool, my step brothers coming in from the army for 2 weeks
>response

If she doesn't respond after something like that I'd imagine I say fuck it and give up. Also to clear this up a little this isn't random girls. Mainly this happens at work when I'm working in the same room as some girls and it's 1v1. I don't want it to be dead quiet but they barley respond or follow up anything, they get very boring.

To be fair, it's something that works better with people who really know you and your step brother well, or really care about the army. For anyone else for who you're "some guy from work" it's not too different from a status update on FB from a random person.

A more socially aware person could always try to find something to ask afterwards or find a new topic, specially if they are interested in talking but generally it's the type of information that doesn't offer much. So it'd be better to add a part that is somewhat relevant to the person you talk to.

>If she doesn't respond after something like that I'd imagine I say fuck it and give up.
Generally, yes. Although if you think she's too shy or social retarded to respond, you can always add more. As long she appears to be not completely disinterested.

When dealing with some cold chicks, I had to do a lot initial work to make them open up and it eventually worked but it's always quite a gamble, and specially in work environment it's better not to overdo it.

How'd did you get them to open up? Continously pry at them?

>>17891944
>Am I stupid for expecting her to ask

no !

you've got the basics of conversation, you talk, the other person talks etc

the next step....

if the other person doesnt talk, then its time to find somebody else who will

>>17892791
but what happens when your stuck in a room with them on a 6 hour shift? Its mindless work so we can talk and cut. I've done it with others before. Its just certain people

just focus on the work

how would you feel if somebody tried to keep talking to you at work ? you'd get damn tired of it quickly
