yes I would stop with the small talk. Detach and find something else to occupy your mind. Read the paper, a book, occupy yourself with your phone and look interested and she will be curious as to what your doing. Make her work for the conversation, if she talks then keep answers short but pay attention to her. Make her feel she has all your attention when she is talking and when she stops go back to what your doing. I hate to say this but almost like a cat, when you ignore them they want your attention, when you want their attention they ignore you, unless they need something from you like food.
