"I asked how his day was and he replied "just another day." I asked if he enjoyed the peace and quiet and he said he was bored."
How does that square with DBing?
Light bulb went off in my head when I read your post! I initiated the conversion last night. Do not start conversations!!!
If he starts the conversation, then I should switch my question to "tell me about your day" instead of "how was your day." Or should I avoid asking this question altogether because it seems like pursuing?
