How to Talk to a Beautiful Woman

Be yourself when talking to women.

Some men find the idea of talking to a beautiful woman uncomfortable, even terrifying. This could be because he is self-conscious, nervous or just frightened at the idea of awkward conversation or rejection. Talking to a perfect stranger is not always an easy task. Many "dating advice" websites are aimed at seducing women and engender a feeling that you must follow exact steps to get a date. However, a good way to get an idea of how to talk to women is from the source: females. According to many women, the best way to get a girl interested is to be yourself. The key to a woman's heart is not a cheesy pickup line.

Instructions

1. Approach a woman with confidence, but not cockiness or arrogance. Many women say a major turn-off in a man is arrogance.

2. Introduce yourself and shake hands. Many women prefer this simple opening to cheesy pickup lines.

3. Compliment her on the asset you find most attractive. For example, "You have a really nice smile" or even "I like your hair." Women know that many men are not really interested in their fashion sense. If you do not feel comfortable complimenting a woman on first approach, don't.

4. Avoid making overtly sexual remarks about a woman's body, as this is typically a turn-off. Women get "hit on" a lot in bars and clubs, and another sexual come-on will just fade into the background.

5. Make a joke or funny comment if it is in your nature. Comments depend on your surroundings and the situation, so actual wording will vary. Many women find a man with a sense of humor very attractive. Avoid forcing a joke or funny comment if it is not in your personality to do so. Forced conversation looks like you are trying too hard or trying to be someone you are not.

6. Talk about common interests to make conversation equal between both parties. Be yourself and never talk about an ex-girlfriend or ex-wife, as this is a major turn-off. Avoid complaining or negative topics of conversation, as many women find self-deprecating conversation or "pity parties" unattractive.

7. Maintain eye contact with a woman, and refrain from looking over her shoulder, fidgeting or looking at her sexual assets (i.e., breasts, bottom). Sporadic eye contact makes many women feel nervous or that you are uninterested. Avoid crossing your arms, as many women feel this looks intimidating or arrogant.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't go up to a girl with your dating expectation barometer on "High." The goal should be getting to know each other, not "When's our date?"

• Put your phone away. Constantly texting or checking your cell phone makes a girl feel like you are not interested in her.
