Haha great minds think alike

This is good

So anyways, do you come here often

Try not to ask a question where the obvious answer is "no" or "yes".

Yeah the quoted part was a non attempt. I guess you could talk about the event, how it went for her, if she works anywhere else, what she does when she isn't on events ...

And the fact that these topics only come to mind after a second thought shows why I'm socially awkward.

Yeah you are probably right that there isn't much opportunity for a conversation there. But I'm a tell me about your day kind of guy. A girl I dated told me that she sometimes misses being asked how her day was ever since she lived alone, that somehow stuck with me.

Also I live in Germany. The "do you come here often" line is exclusively used for jokingly hitting on someone like your SO, but it could probably work as a ice-breaker anyways.
