Last friday I was at a bar, my friend introduced me to a HB8. We chatted quickly and as I started running out of things to talk to her, I proceeded to ask her to dance. Almost always girls want to dance, but she told me something that completely caught me off guard. She said "i dont want to dance..i hate looking like a stripper out there, but I would like to stay here and socialize" I was drunk so I said if you don't want to dance over there...then lets dance right here. and jokingly danced a little up on her. She found it amusing but still didn't want to dance. We chatted more but this girl couldn't hold a conversation and I started pausing and things started turning awkward. I ended up just saying I need to find my friends but find me if you change ur mind about dancing.
How do you escape an awkward situation or turn it around and keep a conversation flowing? I find that I sometimes have nothing to say thats interesting. It may my insecurity. But I need a go-to topic to talk about that works.
btw, she saw me dancing with another girl later that night and pushed me in the head. lol.
Some women just arent good at the art of conversation. Just like a lot of people here may have to work on it (if they choose to do so), some women may either have never had the need, or the opportunity to do so.
I know there have been a couple of times where I feel like she has almost started the conversation over again. Its almost as if the tape rewinded and started over from the beginning.
Having said all of that, I agree that you have to lead the conversation just like you would in any situation. In a situation like this, even more so. And you sometimes have to accept that fact that it just may not be working. It sounds like you did the best you could for the most part. When she pushed your head later when you were dancing was a clean IOI. You probably could have opened her again later with better success after that.
