A former co-worker I knew said a technique he would use on a date that was going slow to try and make himself look smart and the date curious was to examine the design decisions of objects around them. The table, the paint used to make a painting, the shampoo that makes the dates hair smell so good, etc. Add in some history of the object and discuss until an interesting bit was found that could move the conversation else where. Seemed like it could work but I never needed to try it.

I've never had a date going slow that also included me being able to smell her hair.
The fact that he got to try this routine multiple times tells me it probably didn't work.
He also sounds unbearable.
Then it's a jumping off point to talk about economics, perfect date material.
It's probably fine for conversation but writing it down and using it as a tatic definitely makes it strange
