talking with bar girls

so im not a very interesting (or good looking for that matter) so I have to pay to get a girls attention lol. I tried going out here in pattaya, bought a lady a drink to get her attention but 2 minutes in the conversation died. I know she tried (and so did I). it got awkward so she brought out connect4 so we could play. this always happens.

what do you people talk about. how do you keep her engaged at least?
