Are you saying to engage her in conversation regarding what is happening in my life
Not exactly. You won't have a conversation until she engages. Tell stories that don't need any input from her.
What you accomplished at work.
Stories about your friends.
Where did you go for lunch.
What plans you are making.
Something that made you laugh.
etc.
Make sense?
