Hey guys I'm new to the forums and hopefully be posting semi-regularly to improve myself in most aspects of becoming better with women and a better version of myself in general. I'm a college age guy and in general a pretty chill guy. I've been lurking and reading on girls chase for a couple of months now but i've decided to actually put 100 percent effort into this to see some results and stop waiting for some magical impetus to be bestowed upon me. So with that I'd like your advice on what I should look into to help improve my situation. I should apologize in advance, writing isn't my strong suit but i'll try to keep it on point and concise.
Last night I was invited to two parties and I made it my goal to talk to a few new girls that night with the only mandatory goal of actually sustaining the conversation. For the most part I used situational openers just to get talking since of what I've read It doesn't really matter how you begin talking its just that you do. So as I talk to the ladies I try to use screening be asking if they like traveling or trying new things like foreign languages. I'm getting smiles and positive reactions and I would use physical contact like fist bumps and hive fives which I know is awkward and lame but all I know thus far. After a while of talking they there would be some interruption and then a pause which i don't know how to recover from and after an awkward pause they would leave while saying it was nice to meet you. Looking back upon this it seems to me I'm not getting enough investment from them and that the conversation was boring. Most of the interactions lasted about 20 min so I also feel that i wasted too much time in just talking and should have gone for a number and then continued about the party. Is this the correct way of thinking or what should i do in cases like those? As a final question how sexual should one get in a conversation thats going well with a new person? With my friends I have no problems making innuendo's when they work with the situation but as soon as I start talking to someone new for some reason I can't think of anything. What do you guys do for that?
Sorry if this came across as confusing but I hope my message still makes it through. How do you guys work on your conversation skills? Is it more interactions or finding more topics to talk about?
