How to 'banter'?

If you want to keep the conversation going, talk about popular culture. You don't know the other persons interests, so your best bet for a conversation is current events. "Did you see that episode of x last night?" "Did you read about [political event]"

If you take it to politics, safest way is to only talk about events that are condemed by all, so say an MP steals, thats fine. Controversial new act in parliament, not fine.

As for never getting a discussion going, try this. If you want to get it going, whenever asked a question, answer it, but end your answer with another question.


most basic example:

Her: Hi, how are you?
You: Fine.

Thats wrong.

Her: Hi, how are you?
You: Fine thanks, how are you?

Correct.

If you aren't comfortable taking control, just keep it going and it will naturally evolve. All you gotta do is take the lesson from theatresports 'never say no' (don't make dead ends, always answer with a question, it keeps it going)

banter is flirting rhy. it just requires an ego (even a fake one) and confidence about ego.

like you couldnt handle me anyway.

or you wouldnt know what to do with me.

while not being a total pig. it often requires a delicate balance
