    by observation, try to figure out subjects that interest them.

    music, sports, movies, school activities, drugs etc..

    know something about the subject, don’t do any severe investigation or anything, or ask them about the subject..

    I have heard of "band name" how do you like them...

    Most importantly just introduce yourself and be pleasant, the more girls you talk to the more comfortable you will become talking to girls....
    Or the continued rejection will make you a shut in.


    Example:

    Girl at office has her own coffee maker, strike up a conversation about coffee.
    Introduce yourself, ask questions about her other interests....

    quit caring, and then when you don't, conversations will happen when they should.

    and mac, "I like your watch, what's the story behind it?"

    really? if we ever were to meet, I'm saying that to you and taking note of how you react.

    it's not a pick up line dude. it's just to start conversation. i've used it on a handful of occassions and have never had a bad reaction.

    yeah...i would be creeped out by that. "the story? well, i liked it so i paid for it" {backs away slowly}



    Also, just relax. Forcing the issue will have a tendency to make choke up.

    if you do bust out the "how's it going" and she replies "good. You"...when you answer try to give a little info about yourself. Don't just answer with one word. Something like "not too bad. I'm excited about going to see this concert this weekend" or something like that. That opens up dialogue because if she is interested, she will as who? you answer and ask who she likes, etc etc....before you know it you are receiving a blumpkin

    i guess given the situation it would be weird. i should add that i've only used it at a social/party after having been introduced. technically, they're still strangers but i could see how that would throw someone off. it's always worked and kept the convo going tho.

    first, don't make it seem like you're going out of the way to talk to her... that right there groups you into the loser category of guys kissing the girls feet. Those guys don't get anywhere, except maybe a fake number.

    Just make sure you're not trying hard to do this stuff, it's really not an issue. Just talk to people you meet and be casual about it. Talk about whatever you two can relate to. If you two can't, then maybe you shouldn't be talking. Girls know when a guy is talking to them just because they're hot, so have a decent reason for striking a conversation. In fact, gettting her to talk to you is a way better tactic. That's a matter of being the most interesting man in the room. Hope this helps.

    Stick with a topic. And then branch out to other ones once you get bored... but mostly you just have to improvise your conversations...

    Hate to say this bro but be yourself and if they don't like who you are F them. Make eye contact but don't be creepy, blink in other words. Speak your mind without being
    disrepectful, something like speaking about p*rn to girls wouldn't be a wise. Just remember when the time comes...time to nut up or shut up!

    Never underestimate the power of being the mysterious guy.

    See, now we're getting somewhere.

    Dear OP, please note all the green medals that this poster has garnered. Most of those were granted from girls moestavern19 had just recently met.

    This.

    You probably have this voice in your head that is constantly coming up with things to say, but since you are shy you just don't say them. Just start saying stuff instead of being insecure. You'll quickly get over your shyness if you just start talking.

    This is, after all, the ultimate goal. Is it not?

    -I don't think it's stupid at all.

    -At the same time - realize that you're living your one and only life man. You only. Live. Once. It's def. past time to put yourself out there with the girls. Be confident. Get whatever game you've got together already, and use it man. You can't possibly have "no game". Just be confident and take swings.

    -Sometimes "hello" is a good starting point, lolz. Hey - ask them questions. Let them talk. Take it from there. Take chances. One life.

    I was 14 when I came out of my shell. I hadn't kissed a girl since I was 6 before that. Thinking back, it wasn't such a big deal, but it was at the time.

    It happened at summer camp. I decided that I wanted to meet people. And I went around to every single person and just introduced myself. I still have friends from then to this day. The camp even came up with a new award and gave it to me- 'Most Friendly Camper'.

    Just be yourself. It comes across as more sincere. Don't TRY to do or be something you aren't. There are haters out there. Screw 'em. They will be a distant blip on your radar in a few years. They are intellectual bullies. Just BE friendly and have fun with it.

    the key is to make believe she looks ugly as hell just like medusa, and at the same time not freeze up and turn to stone

    PS:

    Worst place to talk to a girl: The Gym

    Best place: Restaurant (if she's your server). The "going up out of your way" really is the hard part, but having a girl as your server kind of eliminates the "going up to" part. As long as they're not a super-****, a pleasant "So how is your day going?" is always most appreciated (since they're likely tired and stressed from other ******* customers/managers).

    The only time I've had a woman ask me to call her is from a waitress at a restaurant. Of course that was quickly ruined (and moes can appreciate this) when a friend of mine decided to text her, from my phone, simply that "I'd like to go balls deep."
