I disagree with this I think he’s right on both accounts 1- lack of verbal usually means she wasn’t interested, 2- There a dozen nggas who can and have had gym convo with her. She works there. So he’s right to veer off that.If a woman is feeling a dude, she will talk more AND response to anything that comes out his mouth… is what I’ve learned.
Different strokes for different folks, but asking what school she went to seems like wasted dialogue to me if y’all both share something in common at that moment — which was the gym.
A better move would have been just keep it at ‘around the city’, then mention a poplar hot spot. That would open up ‘yea I been there ’ or even better ‘no
I don’t do that’, which opens up ‘well what do you do’…voila.
Only bro can tell if she was either disinterested or just nervous, but an easy follow up would be ‘I just remembered, I think I saw you at…’. She should laugh and give 1 of the 2 answers above. If she still giving you the ‘no’ ….never speak to th woman again
