Yesterday, I was at the bus stop, and saw three young girls walking to wait for their bus. All the rough dudes who were talking before, suddenly shut down. I expected that though, so I used it as my opener. The girls were far to young for me, but I figured they would make good practice.

I asked them what was it about them that made guys like the rough dudes clam up when they come around. If I had a target, she was the middle girl. The one on the left started the reply session. Then the one on the right joined in. They didn't have any good answer, and were actually oblivious to that happening. Then the one on the right said she kind of noticed it.

My silent target had no opinion, even when I asked her for one.

Is this when you would neg, or something to get her to speak up?

Conversely, what do you do when the target is overly talkative, and leaves her friend(s) out of the conversation?

Doesnt talk

"awwweee, your shy, that's cute." then take away all body language and have fun with friends for a while.

Too much yapping

to her friends... "How do you guys ever get a word in, haha" same body language.

too much yapping alone

"what was the dog's name?"

her - what? what are you talking about... i didn't say anything about a dog???

you - smile mischievously and take control of the conversation

Thank you. Those were good ones to use.

Gotta neg the silent target in a set, and neg a talkative target in a set.

And when the target is alone and talkative, throw her a curveball so I can talk.

i've had to game a couple of silent girls and what i usually say is "wow you talk soooo much let me say something" usually they laugh and start to open up after that. I have also done the "i LOVE talking about myself but tell me about YOU" of course said in a sarcastic/funny tone.
