Instant Honesty vs Instant Openness to get past small talk with a friend at work

There isn’t a lot of threads about this topic or im just dumb. Anyway, which is your preferred choice?

Also, I know this girl which I am friends with her for around 2 years now. We are not really awkward together but at the same time, there isn’t a lot of topics for us to talk about. We don’t really see each other a lot which is why I guess we have nothing much to talk about. When we do happen to walk by during work, it will mostly be small talk and then we will be off to do our own thing.

So which is better for my current situation? IH or IO or IH+IS?:confused: I have a bottle of IH and also have gotten a bottle of IG if that helps with anything. So if IH works, I won’t have to spend on a bottle of IO.

I would try IO first and if she is receptive I would add IH to the mix.

If you are wanting deeper/better quality conversation, then go for IH/IS.

The trouble with IO, on its own or in combo with IH, IS or both is that it can be incredibly superficial. Good for meeting/breaking the ice with someone or promoting conversation in difficult situations but no substance.
