The Art Of Talking To Women

By Jennifer King

When it comes to chatting up a woman, open ended questions work wonders as conversation starters. You can attempt to start a conversation and make yourself look boring with your questions that have a yes or no answer, or you can get the woman interested in you. Creating interesting conversation is a lot more difficult than it looks if you're out of practice. And it's even more difficult if you're not used to speaking to women.

It's a classic question to ask the question, "Do you come here often?" If on the other hand, you're attempting to get this woman riveted in you right from the start these are the types of questions you should be avoiding. Any question that needs a yes or no answer is going to create a silence. That silence will expand into something that needs to be broken with another uncommunicative question.

With a inquiry as atrocious as that one you'll also be lucky if she even bothers answering. You could even get a sneer as she turns her back on you.

The perfect start to a conversation is an open ended question, it's a question that creates more opportunities from its answer. Instead of starting your question with a do, begin your question with what, how or where. This forces your potential date to reply to the question with a proper answer as an alternative to yes or no. This can then lead to another question if the answer gives you that opportunity.

Instead of using the do you come here often line, you can use something else.

If you can tell she isn't having as much fun as she could be, you can ask, "how often do you come to this dump?" If she really is bored, not only have you asked an open ended question but you've shown you're paying attention, and know exactly how she's feeling. This type of question also throws a piece of humor into the conversation straight away.

If you're beginning to get on with her you can recommend a better place for your first date.

Once you start speaking with women on a regular basis you will learn naturally what type of open ended questions get you a better response, and what questions need to be avoided. If you have your questions in your head before you start chatting you can have the next questions ready for the variety answers you get.

Talking to a woman does take a bit of practice if you're not used to doing it on a regular basis. It can be a challenge occasionally especially if you have the outcome on your mind before you start talking.

The more experience you get the better you will become, and the questions will sound a lot more natural. This stops them looking like you're struggling for questions just to create a conversation.

Most women will get approached by men every time they go out, especially if they're beautiful. Learn to understand what the woman wants in her conversation. Don't do what every other man does when they just attempt to impress her. Show an interest in her, and speak about the things she likes to speak about. This is something you'll understand more as you gain experience, but the more you do to practice these things the more successful your dating will be. - 15431
