    Even worse. You’re buying a house? That’s incredibly stressful and fraught with perils that the average person will experience less than once in their lives. You don’t start with the loan, you start with the open house that had the sex swing.

      I don’t have a specific house in mind. I’m trying to get the loan process started so I can go home shopping.

        I don’t have a specific house in mind (but I’m thinking about X, or Y, or Z. I really like ______, because _________).

        Listen I hate to pile on here, but your responses are lacking proactive elements that create interesting dialogue. And that can come across as very dull indeed.

        Don’t sweat it though. Just consider adding more details without being asked. Adding 2-3 extra, unprompted tidbits in the first couple sentences when speaking to someone might be all you need to escape your conversational doldrums.
