    This dude just casually handing out the secret to being a good conversationalist. Ask questions, listen to the answers and follow them like a trail of breadcrumbs. All of a sudden you’re having a conversation, and you won’t be worrying about your courage

      Which works great until the other person responds with 2-5 words max every time you ask a question (dating apps)

        Yeah trying to have a conversation on a dating app is like pissing into the wind

        Edit: interesting username, is that a reference to the old flash player gnash?

        A good solution here is to ask open ended questions instead of ones with a yes or no etc answer and to talk about their interests.
