When you are out somewhere and a girl asks you "where is the food from" or anything else, how do you react?
Tonight a girl asked me that and I said "I don't know" but then a few seconds later I realized maybe she is trying to start a conversation with me, which I think she was, because honestly, who cares where the food is from, and how the fuck would I know? Does it say on my forehead I am the manager there?
Anyway, after I realized this, I asked her "were you trying to start a conversation with me, or you were really asking?"
she said "I was really asking"
Then I think to myself "you idiot, WTF, dont put her on the spot"
Anyway, the point of this post: How to react when a girl asks you a stupid question to start a conversation with you?
Well for one it wasn't a stupid question...it was a question. A lot of people ask questions to strangers, it's no different to asking where this shop is or where can one find the local SPAM. Sometimes it can be an excuse to chat to you, other times it can be legitimate, and she just wants to know. Either way, you don't just become a cold fish and say "I dunno"...you be friendly in return and try and get a conversation going based on if the vibe is right and if she has friendly body language. Stop being socially awkward and don't be afraid to talk to strangers. "I dunno" gives the girl nothing to feed off of to give you a reply. You could even say "I don't know exactly, but it came from this shop/restaurant which has some really good food, have you ever checked it out?". Give it a little to get a little. Quit this mental masturbation that you have to have some alpha reaction to everything a girl says, 9 times of out 10 straight honesty and friendliness wins out.
