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)

That's a good thing, imagine if you ended up with that person.

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?

No it's something I came up with when I was 10 and it stuck. Not really a reference to anything

Those people aren't a good match for you (or maybe anyone).
