Haha I actually have this "problem" myself! I've got kind of a nerdy/quirky hobby (DM me if you're curious - don't want to give too much of myself away) and I'm worried about how to bring it up without seeming too weird or uncool. When I've mentioned it to people in the past, they're either like "that's so cool!" And ask me all kinds of questions and think that it's neat, but others are like "oh... How interesting?" If my rusher's response is the latter, what's the appropriate way to respond? Do I work to find common ground or do I wait for her to direct the conversation somewhere else? Should I drop the topic entirely and transition immediately into the time that my soccer team accidentally left our coach in the bathroom of a Subway during regionals? (Completely made up story by the way, but something similar did happen).
