Dear Tom:

You didn’t have to bring the same exact topic on the next get together. There are other topics that can make a serious conversation. Reads to me that you would have benefited from getting to know her better and to get to know her better not talking “about anything serious, just had some food etc” couldn’t teach you anything new and interesting about her.

The more you know about a woman, the more answers you have, the less the anxiety bothers you with questions.

One more thing: how is a relationship to progress, how is she to form a stand about you, if nothing of substance is going on, such as a conversation of substance.
