This goes more along the lines of conversation management, but roughly how much do the PUAs talk vs. the HBs?

It seems that in order for the man to exude confidence/leadership qualities, he must dominate or at least direct the flow of the conversation. I get this impression from watching some of the PUA videos on the web. But what if the chick's just really chatty? And what if you're genuinely interested in what she's saying or the (2 minute long) story she's telling?

Keep in mind this is within the 15 minute window of meeting her.

usually if a girl is chatting the f out of u (i would be annoyed) this is an IOI.
But, yeah in my experience the PUA should dominate the convo in general. This doesnt have to mean the # words u say. No prob with making the girl do the grunt work for u! Let her build rapport with u by just listening if thats how its going.

But what i do to keep control - for example - ill interupt a story or something shes talking about and say: "wait, wait, hold up (did u say u went___?)(are u ___?)(u went____ tell me about that___)" and insert a question somewhat related to what shes talking about - but get her to change the thread or topic - and have a good story ((or make one up) related to that change in thread.

then with really chatty girls - the "u talk too much" k-close is great

cheers

Ace has the right idea. Here's my 2 cents. If you're interested in what she's saying great, let her gab on. But if you aren't, you're going to stop paying attention, and it will show. Especially when she finally stops talking and you have no idea what she just said. In that case, Ace is right about butting in and keeping yourself in the conversation. This will keep you interested and let her know you're listening and interested.

Good luck, and don't marry her!
