Come to think of it, I don't think I have every held a "normal" conversation for that long with a genius. You know, you are right.
Hey, I am not saying that I am in the Mensa level of intelligence, but I do hold my own
If you get a chance today, you have to buy a book. It's called "Superflirt" by Tracey Cox. My sister got it for me a few months ago, and it is such a funny book to read. It teaches you how to become a flirt King or Queen, and how to make every man want you or make every woman melt (caters for both).
I find it such a good read, especially body signals (when you know things are going well, or to run away).
I think my sister sort of picked that my "flirting" skills were non-existent, and she tried to help by buying me this book.
I think it would be in the top sellers list for Actuary's. Your co-workers may have a copy handy
