I do 🙋🏻♀️
You should ask some open minded questions, like "what are you doing in the weekend" which doesn't require a yes or no answer
One more -- when she like doesn't want to talk, don't keep messaging her. It'll only irritate and annoy her more.
Get to know some of her interests -- like what kind of music she enjoys -- and try to include that in your conversation. Suppose she likes Pop, try to get some good and famous Pop songs.
Also, I have to warn you though. I don't know if it happens in America too or not, but in India when we ladies smile like 🙂, then beware! It's our anger level PRO MAX. More dangerous than a angry face.
That's all I have now. Will update if I get some more 😉
It depends. Every lady likes something else. But definitely be yourself. If you're generally funny, then don't be less funny in front of the lady you like
