I read about conversation threading on here a little bit ago and decided to try it on this girl at the fitness center where I work. It went better than I thought it would.
See, I've always been good at conversations, just not with girls because I'm always super self conscious about what they're thinking of me in the moment. Ergo, I fuck up the conversation and run out of things to talk about.
When I tried the threading, it forced me to be in the moment because I really had to listen to what she was saying. I simply didn't have time to internalize the convo because I was fully engrossed in her every sentence. The thread I read on it (I'm sorry I can't find it now) was totally right, I didn't run out of things to talk about. I decided when it was time to end the talk and get back to working out.
For newbies like me this was a huge success. Thanks for the help guys.
