Hi!

I've noticed that after approaching, I usually do pretty well in the first minutes and girls are very into me, because I am being funny and interesting. However, after a while, I seem that I can't find anything else to say and dip into "what are studying". Everything starts to go downhill here...

How do you avoid such boring topics?

In general: how do you keep a conversation light, funny and mysterious even when she starts to dip into more serious topics? What does one talk about?

if this is the first conversation with her, and its daygame... I think the fluff is fine. IF your talking about night game... tell her she's hot if your already at that point, or isolate if your indirect and do the cube or whatever you do when you dont just say straight up, she is sexy.

You don't necessarily have to avoid topics like that, just approach them in a different way, for example: if you ask her what she's studying and then go on to "oh, that's so cool, what are you planning on doing with that?" - she's had that conversation a million times before, it's boring. However, if you use a less orthodox response, you can come off as more interesting; I'll use one of Gambler's responses as an example here: "Why not just be a stripper?" (said playfully), after you've joked around a bit, you can always come back to the more mundane stuff to show that you do have an actual interest in what she does.
Long story short: you can take boring topics and throw them down interesting bypaths.
