Good you have that skill, Francisco. I tend to be inconsistent, but am a pretty good listener. Once there's a good topic to latch onto, I can be very good, but sometimes I'm just a man of few words...
To you, what's the major difference between a good topic that you can latch onto as apposed to a bad one?

Perhaps I worded that wrong, Francisco. It might be more accurate to say I tend to be at a loss for openers, absolutely dislike forcing a conversation. I'm very cool with silence.

I also seek to avoid a "job interview" sort of mode, which is a very common way in which coffee-house sort of dates get deadly dull, but don't have the consistent DeAngeloesque skills to deflect such a conversation if it does come up, and often end up coming across as evasive, flippant, or even difficult in such situations.

How do you typically handle a "job interview" type of discussion?

I took my last girl out to a comedy club. She loved it, were able to have a good laugh get close enough for kino and talk abit. But, it also stops you from having those awkward silences as something else is going on.
