Top 10: Ways To Start Talking To Women(fwd)

fwd


No.10 - The power of "hey"

This simple word is really one of the most powerful tools to use when you want to talk to a women because it's natural. Remember: Attractive women are approached a lot. She's heard every line. That said, a guy who comes up to her and says, “Hey, how ya doing?” is actually original! Try it out; you’ll see what I mean.

No.9 - "Cheers!"

If you're in a bar or club, one of the easiest ways to start talking to a woman is to simply raise your glass to hers and say: “Cheers!” It’s simple, nonthreatening, polite, and paves the way for future conversation. I used to hang out with a “natural” buddy of mine and he would “cheers” every woman in the club. It’s a great primer to get things going, because the next time you see her it’s like you're old friends. Try it Out

No.8 - Talk about somebody or something in the place

Wherever you are, you’re sure to find something really unusual that’s discussion-worthy. You may observe a person wearing outrageous clothing, somebody acting inappropriately, a fight, etc. Use whatever is happening around you for the conversation, especially if she shows some sort of reaction to it. For example, if you notice a guy wearing a ridiculous outfit you could say something like: “I think we just found your future husband!” You’ll be surprised just how well this works.

No.7 - Current events

Before you go out tonight, read up on the news today and stay informed on the latest celebrity gossip and entertainment news. This is perfect material for conversations. You'll want to pay special attention to the latest celebrity bad behavior (there’s something new every week). There are many ways to use this. For example, if you see that somebody is overly drunk, you can compare them to this week’s drunken celebutante. She’ll have a laugh, and you'll communicate that you get what’s going on in the world and are in the know.


No.6 - Ask her opinion

One of the most effective ways to start a conversation is to ask her opinion on something. This works especially well with groups of women, and with a topic they would love to talk about. Fashion, relationships, celebrity gossip: the topics are endless. The important thing to remember is to make it look like you are actually interested in getting someone’s opinion. “My friends and I disagree on something, maybe you can help answer this. Why is '80s fashion coming back? What’s up with that?”  If the question is engaging enough, women will jump at the opportunity to answer.

No.5 - Think of funny and interesting stories

Always have a few interesting and unique stories. Think about them before you go out so they are at your disposal. They should be stories that are smooth conversation starters like, “The craziest thing just happened to me, you wouldn’t believe it!” Tell it like it was so interesting, you just had to share it with someone. If you tell it well, she’ll be on the edge of her seat, wanting to know more. Whatever you decide to talk about, make sure that it makes you look good -- you want to come across as confident and humorous, but not arrogant. These stories will distinguish you from everyone else, and will offer her some insight into your character, enough for her to want to know more.

No.4 - Play a game

There are tons of fun little games you can play that will get a woman locked into a conversation with you. Use your environment, and try some fun, playful games to get her attention. For example, if you are sitting in a restaurant and you spot a woman at another table, you could play tic-tac-toe on a napkin, and have your waiter deliver it to the unsuspecting target. You could introduce yourself after you beat her, to console her on her defeat. Look on the internet and find all sorts of fun games that involve language, memory or skill.

No.3 - Make a bet

Just as engaging as a game, you could also make a bet. The idea here is to continue to interact with her the entire evening. Here’s a great one: Bet her that you will remember her name the entire evening and if you forget, you have to buy her a drink. But to make it even, she has to remember your name, or she buys you a drink. For the rest of the evening, you will find her calling out your name every time she sees you. Nice! See what kinds of games you can come up with.

No.2 - Observe and critique the last guy to pick up on her

If you spot a person who fails horribly while trying to pick up on a woman, approach her shortly after he leaves. Ask her: “So how did he do?” She should get a laugh out of this. Critique his attempt, his style, body language, etc. This communicates all the right things, and is an easy in for you to shine with good conversation, and a playful, winning personality.

No.1 - Bait her with an overheard comment

This technique is different in the sense that rather than approaching her, she will overhear you talking to a friend and will feel compelled to approach you to find out what you are discussing. Here’s how to do it: Make sure she is nearby, close enough to hear you talking to your friend. Make a comment loud enough that she will happen to overhear, something interesting or provocative enough that she’ll need to hear more. Something like: “Secretly, I think all women do it.” If she hears this fragment, she’ll want to know more. “What? What do all women do?” she’ll want to ask. And from there, you’re home free!
