This one is actually so simple we over look how easy it is. We have a tendancy to ask "closed end" questions (ie questions that require a on word answer like yes or no or fine). This can make a conversation go no where fast. Ask open ended questions. I have found if I ask someone what they like to do for excitement, where did they grow up and where they went to school. I not only let them do all the talking, but it seems I always, or at least most of the time know some one they know. It really worksIt just takes some practice, because most people ask closed ended questions...such as, "How are you doing?" The best way to practice, practice on a child. If you can get them talking with questions, you can get anyone to do it.And the bonus is, the person you are talking to will think you are a sincere good listner because you want to know all about them.Key point. Once you ask the question....don't say a word. Let the other person talk. Just remember, "First one to talk loses."Good luck

Sounds exhausting.talk about what your interested in and see if she is too :)and so find out what she likes too etc. :)
