That probably best describes recruitment. No matter how prepared you are or how natural you are at talking to strangers, you will have a few PNMs that are awkward or simply do not click with. Know that if you struggle with one PNM, recruitment isn't over and you can learn from that experience and use it with the next one.
Some of the best conversations I've had were talking about classes. Ask what their favorite class is/was if you have deferred recruitment, which it sounds like you do. This way you have a direct way to ask if it is a major class or potentially see how important academics are to them. Also you may get a great story out of it.
