Girls are like boys but they don’t like talking about as much cool stuff. 😉
Honestly, don’t focus on the fact you’re entertaining. Just talk about normal stuff you’re interested in. If they don’t seem interested then change the subject, find out what they’re interested in, be interested.
I really like finding out about business people. Some of them are as dull as anything once you get behind the facade. All they have in their lives is work. Sadly these are the most difficult ones to talk to. The more interesting people will let something go about their personal lives and then you’ve got something to discuss.
“Oh, you like searing the nipples off badgers? Awesome, tell me all about it”, then you pretend to look interested while they waffle on. It’s just like being married.
