Alright Thought I would offer a little of what I have learnt before poking the beast, so here goes.

As of late my online game is getting half decent, moving on with some confidence to "the real world" scarry I know, in any case finding that focusing on the words your using and the questions your asking have some impact but over all it feels like its the energy your projecting(offering something to her not a sad little boy in a mans body) so engaging her emotions.

-dont ask "what do you do to keep busy" ...
something more along the emotional lines
"what excites you in life" what do you find really gets you going in your life, what sorta fun and adventure do you crave" etc...
these things all seem to make you more of a fun and interesting person in their eyes be it because your not asking the same exact question as every other or they are percieved in a more energetic way.

Basicly what I am looking for info on is if anyone has any other methods/opinions on how to actually increase your energy in sets/life. I find my energy tends to come out over all low without the super highs and normal lul's really killing my game.( not so much asking for the physical energy IE: working out eating right etc... all helps but more emotional energy)

Also I am paying close attention to when I speak to varry my tone for highs and lows not at a stage where I can ignore this or energy level drops. Looking for any pointers or methods you have used to help in the past thanks in advance!!!!

Another tip with energy levels, is too be genuinely interested in the answer. Like those questions you listed were good, but I usually don't really care about their answer.

However call me sadist or whatever, but i find it really interesting/funny hearing about peoples misfortunes. Just find whatever you like talking about and steer it that way.

Unless you have some messed up weird interests the conversation should be fine!
