Discussing something with another person is really like flirting. You don't know the other person's grasp on the subject (whether they're into you), so you'll "make a move" that's tests the boundaries of what they know. If they respond in a positive way, you'll keep escalating.

If they seem a little confused (or aversive), you'll bring it down to a comfortable level. Eventually you should reach a sort of equilibrium so you can maximise flirtiness (good discussions) without going over the top.

Replying to @cosimia_
This is a wonderful connection. The failure to successfully flirt is also very much like a discussion that goes wrong. Overt signalling of interest that simply makes a person uncomfortable is akin to someone in a discussion becoming accusatory, like saying “you’re wrong!”
