I’ve been actively gaming for about a month now, and in the beginning, I found myself trying to come up with the wittiest possible comment whenever it was my turn to speak in an interaction.

I was in a mindset where if I couldn’t keep her entertained, I’d lose her interest and I feel like this is a problem a lot of us newbies have. This mentality leads to us running out of things to say, and therefore ejecting out of a set way too early without any sort of close, even when the interaction has lots of potential.

It wasn’t until I changed that mindset that I started getting much better results. Instead of trying to entertain her, try to get to know her. Throw some witty banter in here and there when it comes to you naturally, but there’s nothing wrong with having a mundane, normal conversation.

TL;DR: You’re not there to entertain her, you’re there to get to know her
