And? Whats your point? YOU are the man of the interaction, is is your job to Lead - Leading a women in ANYTHING is by far the most sexiest thing you can do for her - guaranteed.
...Good point lol. I almost forgot that leading a woman also applies to conversations, so long as you're polite and respectful about it (unless you're neg-hitting her

), and that you don't try to force anything that she wouldn't be comfortable with. Of course, those premises apply to all other things as well.
Sometimes you have to go fishing man, even the best conversationalists do. How can you possibly have a conversation when you are talking to her about something that she dosnt like? That to her is boring, NEVER bore a woman, Make her laugh, cry, angry whatever - but DO NOT BORE her. Try to find out what interests her, try to find commonalities and Vibe with her - women offer us multitudes of threads in conversation in which to LEAD it. Actively listening to what she says is KEY,KEY,KEY!
When I said I know not to probe her with questions, I meant that I know not to do it in a way that would make her feel like she's in an interrogation, i.e. not letting the questions come naturally with the flow of the conversation. Of course I gotta talk with her about her interests and the like, otherwise there ain't no conversation to be had

.
LEAD the convo as you have been ,Shy girls WONT talk too much - it is upto you to bring them out of their shell.
I may not have explained things properly before. She's "quiet" in the sense that she doesn't go out of her way to talk particularly often - she's definitely NOT shy. Hell, she uses kino on me about as much as I use kino on her

.
Anyway, now that I think about it again, I've already been doing what you're describing (using information she gives me in her responses to get her to tell me about herself/her interests/etc.). I think I may have just been too nitpicky about what constitutes good conversation flow, i.e. I was worried that asking an off-topic question that came up from something she said that was on-topic was bad flow... but I realize now that as long as there's a link or a transition of some sort, it's cool. Thanks for your response.
