class you have with her ask her if she likes the teacher just things like that. I hope this helps! Well never try to go off into stories cause it will make you seem like you are trying too hard. Try to switch the topic around and not stay on one thing. Music, activities you participate in, school, work, tv shows, movies, places you have been, and even gossip are all good topics. And there are soo many more. I usually switch topics often and insert the occasional question. If she brings up something that you can get her to keep talking about can also makes it easy. If it's a girl you like try to show little emotion to leave mystery and occasionally get her to talk about her emotions.
