Definitely a good point about playing off of what she says to keep the convo going. Girls don't really want to hear about YOU all the time, they like to talk about themselves and have someone who will listen. If you can show an interest in what they say (not really them) then you will do much better. I don't agree with the number-close you use (I think you should be casual but direct with it to show confidence.... afterall what do you care if she gives it or not?) but anyway good post.
This is a good tip, but has anyone read the tip on 'the nod'. The part I bolded is what I'm talking about:
As your listening to what she is saying, you can either keep her talking or get her to quit talking so you can ask her about something else just by nodding. I tested this out the other night, and I was amazed. I haven't completely figured it out yet but here goes:
When she is saying something interesting, keep ec, and nod slightly (a nod, for those of you who don't know, is up & down, not side to side). If you want to direct the conversation elsewhere, simply do not nod.
I was talking to this girl the other day, and I figured I'd try something out that I had read; the nod. Anyways, when she was talking, I gave a slight nod. The key is slight, because you don't want to look like a freak. She kept talking about the subject she was talking about.
Then I decided I didn't want to hear about that anymore, and she didn't say anything else about it when she finished the sentence she was saying after the nod(ding) stopped.
