seldom take risks with escalating the conversation.

You answered your own question. Take risks with escalating the conversation.

Talk to them the same way you'd talk to a child. Nothing they say or do is serious or important. Their words and actions are amusing to you.

Everything you say should have some kind of teasing/funny element to it. Depending on how serious she takes herself you can ramp it up or turn it down.

Examples would be greatly appreciated here

K here are a few examples from my last week.

I was doing cable flies at the gym today. There was a rope attachment on the ground behind me and some girl walked up and asked if I was using it.

A normal boring platonic response would be, "No, go ahead."

I'd rather have some fun with her, so I give her a shocked look like her request is outlandish.

"Well I was hiding it back here since it's my favorite attachment and I don't like other people using it. I guess I'll share it with you though."

Then I give her a sly smile to let her know I'm teasing.

Her: haha, thanks I'm honored. I'll be quick I promise :)

Me: Ok, I'm timing you.

and I tapped my wrist where my watch would be for emphasis.

K so, that was a totally unnecessary/not serious conversation, but girls eat that shit up.

Next example

Party I went to on the weekend

I'm sitting on a bench table with my bro, there's a seat open next to me.

A friend of my sisters comes in, still in her work clothes (nurse uniform) and grabs some hor dourves on a plate. She then looks around, I presume for a place to sit.

I snap my fingers at her and then pat the open seat next to me. She comes and sits down.

Me: Wow save some for the rest of us (gesturing to the amount of food on her plate).

She hits my arm playfully while acting offended.

Her: I haven't eaten all day ok!

Me: Ya, ok. What's with the costume though? (gesturing to her work outfit) Halloween was last month you're a little late.

Her: Hahaha, somebody thinks they're a comedian.

Me: Yeah, you see those ping pong balls over there? It's gonna be real funny when I'm dunking your ass in beer pong later.

She gets excited.

Her: ya right I'm really good beer pong!

Me: nuh uhhhh <---this is exactly how children interact with eachother. NUH UHHHH. YA HUHHH

Literally just pick something out, make an assumption or funny statement about it and present it in a playful way.
