Her: "We have a great section of do it yourself"

You: "Do you like to do it yourself?"

What's next, gonna tell us that girls are like plants?

Easy there, Socrates...

While still useful, this just seems like a watered down version of the idea of conversation threading.

A Pro Parroter

I tried this with a guy once. I exasperated him. You need to know who you use it with.

Active Listening. This is what you're going for, it's very easy and very effective.

On the flip side of this, "parroting" can come off really needy.

A man with confidence talks very slowly, and sometimes doesn't talk at all. Knowing your way around the different types of sexual tension can turn you from a "parrot", into a monster

Not all awkward pauses have to be awkward, try and make it sexual, then watch awkward tension become sexual tension.

60YearsOfChallenge (pua) had a technique where he would stop talking, put his hand out, and A. She would take it and he would escalate B. He would continue talking and try later

TL;DR: Shut the fuck up, and escalate.

Jesus I fucking hate when people do this to me. Its so glaringly obvious and try hard

This is garbage advice. It will make you look like an idiot, and the other person will feel as though you have no personality. A better way to try, is maybe just ask them questions about the shit, instead of just repeating what they said..
