Let's make it. . . 80/20. 'Cause, really, if someone talks to you, and ALL they do is ask you stuff, without even offering a little bit of themselves. . . you wouldn't get uncomfortable?
Some of the best conversations I've had have grown out of simply sitting down and asking a person "who are you, where are you from, and why are you interesting?"
They usually give me a blank look, wondering how in hell I can be so blunt and tactless, then they answer my question, and we get into a really deep conversation about why they are interesting.
Then you are not only asking questions, right? I mean it's not like you sit there going, "oh, and how was that?, why d'you do that?, how'd that work out?, would you do it again?" you know. . .
Seems to me the best conversations usually go at least somewhat both ways.
