"Hi. My name is Jessica Claire and I'm a dating coach for New York Dating Coach, and we're here in New York City. In this clip, we're going to talk about how to be a good conversationalist. Now this is of utmost importance when trying to get women to like you, because women are the experts on this topic. First thing you need to learn is how to listen. Now, I don't just mean listening for data, or listening for cues, but listening to what someone is saying and how they're saying it. So, if someone is talking about their trip to Europe, listen, wait for your turn to talk, and don't think about how you're going to respond. When they're finished talking, they'll make it clear, and then it'll be your turn to say something. Almost always, continue on the same topic as what the person was discussing before. Don't say: "Oh, you know what, you took a trip to Europe. Well I did this." or "I did that." Keep the topic on them for the time being. The best conversationalist is willing to take the time to listen to their partner, hear what they have to say, and respond. So: "So you took a trip to Europe. That's really interesting. What was your favorite part?" Especially in conversations with women, your best bet is to ask them how they felt about that specific topic. Then, it's their turn to talk. They will hopefully answer your question and then kindly respond with a question for you about something that you might feel something about. Then you've both shared your feelings and you can feel a little bit closer. This is Jessica Claire with New York Dating Coach, and this has been how to be a good conversationalist."
