Thanks to constant practice and studying I have increased my ability to quickly connect with people and this has helped me build more substantial relationships. As a result, women that want to become closer with me will sometimes share some really personal things about why they are who they are. These can occasionally be extremely serious non-flirtable/non-teasable topics.

In such a situation my general reaction has been to listen intently, ask some follow up questions, and then thank her for sharing something so personal. After doing so, I've tried relating to some of it through my personal experience or (if it is something depressingly serious) I will say "On a more positive note..." then shift the topic to something loosely related but more upbeat.

So Seddit, my way seems to work alright, but I feel like there is a more effective seductive way to go about this. What do you think?
