I have an average of 80% of a second message, but, most of the times,let's say 70% of the time, the girl will stay in the topic of cheating. Could you guys help me to shift the conversation to build attraction or just going away from the main question??
Thanks a lot

"You're favorite band is in town and you get to see them with your friend who is an even bigger fan. One of the crew asks you if you'd like to go back stage to meet the band but your friend isn't invited. Your friend tells you that if she can't go back that she doesn't want you to either. Do you sympathize with your friend and stay with her or do you go backstage knowing that it will infuriate your friend?" I'm not saying it's a whole whole lot better than what you were going with but it can very easily lead into the whole "what's your favorite band/music" type talk.

Thanks buddy
