Umm... say you were both normal people (i have to pretend this myself!). Shouldnt a conversation be more two-way, than sounding like she was interviewing you for a newspaper? Arent you interested in what she is studying? Did she go to barista school? (Sorry if youve already covered that.)

I was talking to a guy in my apartment swimming pool yesterday, i told him i was thinking of him and his kid when i saw the new geico marco polo tv commercial. Next thing you know we are giggling like two idiots. I saw the giggling as significant, because we were sharing feelings and attitudes about stuff (annoying coworkers, actually). I think thats where you wanna get to. But yeah, i think shes interested. I know from reading you here youve got the goods.
