Every conversation I have with a girl, all my stories go like this: "So, we're drunk on the Alabama/Florida State line and we throw this fish across, and I almost hit a lady carrying a baby" (true story) It just seems like nothing I ever say has any substance, they're great stories and funny but definitely not deep. I'm beginning to think I'm just a shallow jerk...
Hey there, I think you have the right idea on stories but just the wrong delivery. For example, your story could have gone like this: "So we were getting drunk on the Alabama/Florida State line. You know what it feels like to be sloppy drunk but not quite shit faced, that's where I was at. Anyway, I threw this fish across the water and it almost hit a Mom carrying her child. I probably startled the poor lady more than I scared her. You know what it feels like when suddenly a fish comes flying at you, her expression made me laugh even though it wasn't really funny. You know that feeling when you are trying to hold back a laugh when you know it is inappropriate to laugh? That's what I felt like then."
Just associate your stories with the feeling you had at the time and she will relate to you and probably tell you stories of her own. Good luck!
