has anyone got some good tips/advice on how to keep things going with indirect day game?

i want to go for direct, but haven't got the courage to do it just yet haha so have been trying with indirect.

trouble im finding is when you ask an indirect question; they will answer and then be an hurry to get back to what they was doing.

i was thinking of maybe asking another question or going into some story related to the question immediately as she gives her answer; just feels a little weird tho.

any advice on indirect day game would be much appreciated
