HA - you should have asked a nurse - we could have warned you and spared you all of that pain - lol IF there's anything MORE boring than a nurse I've yet to find it/him/her!!! They're either talking some gory details of their day or blabbering about the on-going daily soap operas in their workplaces.
So OP you're bored and don't know how to tell this unfortunate woman----in person if you're like you post here and write in your profile soon enough the boring woman will become bored of you.
Too many people like to think they have an aura or an air about them that is universally attractive or engaging---which is usually BS. Those who are suave or have this hoped-for air would know how to approach this subject tactfully. If you're not interested in seeing this person again for ANY reason just explain you don't think it's going anywhere, has no possibility for doing so and wish them the best in their continued search.
As has been suggested she might not be the boring one here---could be she's merely REACTING to your "witty banter" or whatever you talk about. Honestly your posts here seem to be more of a way to call attention to yourself than anything else.
Thanks for all---wish you the best in your own search here!! | |

For example: This person loves to call you (around 8 times a day), but when this person gets in contact with you she has nothing to say and it feels like your having a conversation by yourself with "giggles" and "one word responses" to do *minimum* to keep the conversation going.
Well, the closest I've come to telling her shes boring is after I talked to her on the phone for an hour with her only giving one word responses the whole time. Out of fustration I told her if she was going to talk for once, and she laughed and thought it was a joke till I got quite for two minutes. Then all she had to say after I talked to her for an entire hour was "I made waffles this morning, they were pretty good"
Umm... have you ever considered the possibility that she might not like talking on the phone? I'm horribly uncomfortable talking on the phone unless I've known the person for a long time. That doesn't mean I don't call people, though. I just... don't talk a lot, which is exactly what she does. And when pressed to say something, my mind draws a blank and I end up saying something totally random and stupid. Again, just like her. She might call you because you asked her to (think... did you ever say "Here's my number; give me a call sometime"?), because she thinks she's expected to do so, or she might even like to hear your voice (that would be a compliment). But just because she's quiet on the phone doesn't mean she's boring, or even that she doesn't have anything to say. | |

Posted: 11/16/2006 5:45:26 AM | | I've never met a boring person. I've met bored people, though. Pretty much anyone can be engaged in conversation if you can find out what they're interested in; unfortunately, it doesn't seem like she's interested in you. So if you want to just cut and run it sounds like she's ahead of you in that respect. On the other hand, if you still want to try, you'll have to come up with some way of finding out what gets her interest. | |

you need to fake some kinda mouth infection thing where you can't talk for a week and make here carry the load.............see what happens
OR
tell her "hey I am only in this for sex,so don't call me unless we are doing it"
OR
when you are on the phone say
" holy shhitt you are fffffuccccking boring !!! i MEAN YOU GOT NOTHIN ...you know !!!!"
that one works well most times | |

Why hurt feeling when you can avoid doing so? | |

Being someone myself who can barely shut up I think getting along in conversation with someone comes naturally, she could possibly be really shy and or intimidated by you or just simply lacks people skills. If that's a deal breaker then move on. | |

LOL....JWA my friend.....apparently you have never gotten them drunk before!!
I shudder to think the amount of needles that have missed veins, catheters that have gone in painfully, blurry x rays taken, and bed pans accidentally spilled the next day from all the hang overs i was responsible for with them in my day........  Those girls could PARTY!! | |

And so, I could just keel over any moment because you're just too much fun. Good bye." | |
