This article reminds me of the only piece of dating advice I ever learned from school, just a simple bit of human psychology: people like talking about themselves. And more importantly, people like people who let them talk about themselves. It also checks your box of not revealing much about yourself and keeping that air of mystery, however it does bring its own danger of highlighting your "good listener" skills, which may or may not be something you want to be known for. Obviously, as you know, I'm the exception to this rule. :-) Yeah, I hate this mysterious how-far-should-the-conversation-go line too.
