Who does not start a conversation with something mundane? Maybe I am just boring but most of my conversation start with many people along those lines. Did I not read something here about treating girls the way you treat anybody else? Maybe I misundestood.
The girl cannot even talk about the weather, seriously. I am no Vicomte de Valmont but I have had conversations with many girls by talking about something stupid like how tough my last exam was, then we proceeded to talk about something else.
Many girls who had zero interest in me were able to have a regular consersation, then when I tried to get into a dating subject, the conversation was stopped abruptly.
Recently, this girl at work gave me her number, I decided not pursue because I found out she had a boyfriend who was possibly a member of the Hell's Angel (my safety is very important to me, lol). She knew from the get go I was into her, it's not that hard to tell when a guy likes a girl.
Very often, I would come to work and we would talk on skype about anything: the weather, her work, my work, what she did during the weekend( she made sure not to mention that bf), hell, we even spent an entire afternoon talking about coffee and the fact that I had to stop drinking it for a while because of stomach issues. After a couple of weeks, I asked if she wanted to hang out and she said yes, gave me her number.
I never called or texted her, there was no akwardness since I stopped working at that place anyway.
On a side note, despite the fact that I am busy, I personnally like to get to know someone a bit more by phone or
text before I meet them for a date, I am not that thirsty, seriously. If you cannot even have a mundane conversation with me over the phone, why the hell would I wanna spend time with you in person?
