Such thing as too many stories?

Hey guys. Is there such thing as telling too many stories? Not necessarily DHVs...but just shit you've experienced. I think it's fun to hear stories about other people's lives (probably b/c my dad has always been a good story teller and i enjoy listening to his experiences).

Scenario 1: Back and forth on conversation but normally consisting of opinions...yeah i see what you mean..blah blah blah

but how about

topic....haha..haha this happened.
HB- if they have any story of their own it's an open invitation to tell it
Continuing with conversation...topic...haha..one time "blah blah blah"

Of course the story has to be related to what the topic matter is...but i'm only telling the story because by us interacting i assume they'd be interested in my life experiences...and it's basically an invitation for them to share theres...if they have any.

Only problem is ...they have a ditto story = more rapport....no stories = loss of rapport simpling ended in "cool".

Second question that i just thought of....say you DHV or tell a story of your own....i HATE asking..."so has anything like that happeend to you?" ....to my common sense it's an open invitation to tell their own shit....but replying with a "cool" is such a conversation killer. How would u guys suggest reviving the energy after lazy comments one word responses?

I can think maybe to neg..but then you may be showing "how couldn't you be impressed with my story!" - qualifying yourself

Simply changing topics...kind of seems like i'm forcing conversation. If they have nothing to reply to...then assuming i have value..."i just wasted my breath telling you something and all you can do is nod your head"...how lame.

You risk staying in A2 or A3 for too long and never pull the trigger. This gets you ending up in the LJBF zone.

If she doesn't have a story of her own after yours, you don't want to keep telling story after story obviously....that would just be too much talking on your part and she would most likely be bored. So you have to get her talking.

I don't think its a problem to switch topics, if you do it carefully. What else are you going to do anyway, stay on that topic that she is obviously not interested in and cannot relate to? (because of her lack of a response) You NEED to switch asap, before you completely lose her.

The key is to switch topics in a careful way. If its a story about something you like to do for instance, you can be like "but enough about me, what do you do for fun?" So you aren't DRASTICALLY switching topics, but you are tying together your story with a chance for her to switch the topic to something more interesting to her.

Also, you really should try to steer the conversation towards relationships. This gets ALL women interested. Then you can tell any story you want and afterwards she'll either have something to say, or you can ask her "so what do you value in a relationship," or something to that effect.

In other words, try to tell stories that are going to help you reach a goal, by directing the woman's mind towards the topic of LOVE, RELATIONSHIP, SEX, ect. If you are telling stories about NASCAR, don't expect a positive response from most women. Even if they somehow like NASCAR, I promise you could've gotten a better reaction by talking about love or relationships.
