...Read here.

I used to be at a loss myself when it came to talking to women. One thing I realized is that, it is nowhere near as complicated as some of us make it out to be.

Perhaps there is some pressure to impress. I will tell you right off the bat. DO NOT IMPRESS!!!

What I mean is do not try to make her go "WOW!!!" That reeks of insecurity.

Below is a list of what you can talk about with women in general upon meeting her.

The weather
The respective area you are in
Special events
Work (General)
Music
Free Time
Favorite Place to Go
etc.

Of course, this depends on context. We must be sensitive to this.

Here is what you don't talk about with women upon meeting her.

How ugly you are. (She knows you look like Quasi Moto, she has eyes, you know)
How you can do belch the alphabet
How much Jesus loves her. (If you are not in Church, otherwise preach away pastor)
How the Government is out to get you and her
That night you got abducted and probed by the Aliens who masqueraded as your Auntie.
That night you found out that the Alien actually was your auntie
Your $1,000,000,000,000,000 bank account. (You are either lying or looking to get mugged)
How everyone hates you because you are short. (FYI, short people are cool. I myself am short... in the NBA)

There you have it. I know there is more, but... I got to run.

You can talk about anything in the world, although it is usualy smart to avoid overly logical topics, politics,bragging (shows insecurity), religion or how much you would love to tap that. Instead, feel and act relaxed and sexual. The most important thing to talk about however when you approach, is the fact that you are attracted to her.

All good points... cannot agree more. To wit: be real.

I appreciate your approach here, but there's really no formula for it. (I assume this is an initial approach.)

Weather is boring. Talking about your surroundings is weird. Why would I want to know your favorite place when I don't even know you?

Conversation should be organic. Introduce yourself and go from there. Most importantly, dont be boring (weather, etc).

And don't tell her how beautiful she is. Skeezy.

Not sure why guys think we want to hear that. It's nice to hear in a relationship, but not from a stranger.

Okay - that just made me literally laugh out loud!!! Yes - just act sexual! Hahahahahaha!!!

As for the OP - I think the gist of what you are saying is spot on. Just be yourself - don't try so hard. People are either going to get each other or they aren't.

I just fiddle with my wallet and let one of those X-tra Large Magnum condoms fall out and say "oh my, my x-tra large Magnum condom has fallen out of my wallet, how mortifying!"
