So this a very minor point but I'm hoping you guys can help me brainstorm some ideas.
I've seen it suggested a few times that a good way to keep up the kino is to show the girl some pictures on your phone, related to something you're talking about, and move in next to her. I've used this a couple times (great if you get stuck sitting across from one another) with a picture of my cute-as-fuck dog but that's about it. I would think there are tons of possibilities with topics that often pop up in getting to know you type chats. The problem is that I've never been much of a picture taker and I have like 7 photos on my phone, so never really have the opportunity. I'm thinking stuff like cool shots of places I've been, interesting crap back at my crib (strong potential on this one) and maybe siblings.
Any other ideas?
If you want to play the phone picture angle, then I think that you should get in the habit of taking a lot of pictures from your phone... surely it is easy these days, and almost any topic can seem interesting if you attempt to make it interesting.
You can even take selfies and also take pictures of you with the girl that you are talking with about pictures... As long as you can weave in some topic, and then say you have a picture of it or something similar, then surely those can be great avenues of conversation.. yet in the end, you gotta have more than a few pictures.. sometimes music or dance or almost anything can be areas in which you share interests, as long as you make the topic interesting.....
Having 7 pictures on your phone is nowhere near sufficient in the pictures category, so you better get taking pictures... maybe start out with taking pictures of your breakfast.. and then several a day.. in no time you will be taking videos and experimenting and even generating your own areas of expertise about what you find interesting (and if you find it interesting, then that is probably what is most important for you to generate interest from others).
