Reply To: "Deep thoughts" opener

[SomeguyUK]

To be fair, I’m probably doing it wrong, I was mostly just trying to get comfortable saying the line today.

Here’s my three other attempts at it:

Me: You look like you’re thinking deep deep thoughts. Are you?
Her: (laughs) Yes
Me: Yeah? What were you thinking?
Her: Oh..just personal stuff…(looks uncomfortable)

(guess I could have stayed in longer but this was my first one of the day)

Her: *gives opinion on clothing*
Me: You know, before I asked you that, you looked like you were thinking deep deep thoughts. Were you?
Her: Yes
Me: What were you thinking?
Her: Oh..just thinking about my friend…I guess that’s not really deep..(starts to move away)

Me: You look like you’re thinking deep deep thoughts. Are you?
Her: I was thinking about.. (says something about her work – I couldn’t hear too well as we were in the underground)
Me: Oh you were thinking about your work?
Her: Yes
Me: Oh ok. Well, I was just reading this article today that said we spend 14% of the time thinking about things we’ll never do, and…
Her: (cuts me off) I’m already doing pretty much everything I want to do
Me: Ok. Well, gotta go!(runs off into the night)

Maybe I’ll have more luck once I get the ‘story’ part of it out.
