typoUse open ended questions! You will hit the proverbial goldmine.
DO NOT SHOT GUN CLOSE ENDED QUESTIONS!
Actually listen to what she says and read in between the lines. To do this with her (or anyone) if you really want to dig use these three tactics:
Restatement: "Parrot what she said so she elaborates on what you restated."
Girl: So this part of the movie reminds me when I was at this party at college and had a fun time.
You: What do you mean by a "fun time?"
Girl: Blah Blah Blah
Paraphrase: Clarify in your own words what you think she meant. Don't worry you don't have to get it right, you can always restate or do another paraphrase followed by an open ended question.
Girl: So this part of the movie reminds me when I was at this party at college and had a fun time.
You: So you are telling me you got lucky that night? (Insert a possible neg)
Girl: Lol, no I just had a good time with my friends and got drunk. I think I blacked out but I KNOW I didn't sleep with anybody.
(She is qualifying herself to you by explaining her flaw(s).
You: Well you probably didn't remember much but it sounds like a fun time, (I guess) You can either continue: Tell me more about that? Or just cut the thread.
Reflection: If used properly this WILL build attraction or Comfort depending on what stage you are in. Reflections build empathy, understanding, and respect. Very different from sympathy. Reflections will put your relationship on a deeper level but use these sparingly and make sure your hunch is right or you might lose some ground.
Girl: Omg, I am having a bad hair day and have to go to this job interview and then have to study for a mid term. No one understands what I am going though!
You displaying Sympathy: (Wrong Approach) OMG, I feel so sorry for you, I have a test due too! Do you want a back rub?
You displaying Empathy: (Proper Reflection) It sounds like you are having a pretty stressful day that you want to end ASAP. Lets get a drink when you are free. (Time-Bridge)
Girl: OMG YES, you understand! No one usually does. I really need to go out for a drink soon. Good idea!
You: Insert creativity here
