Men usually have a difficult time meeting women. But it’s not really the thought of “meeting” ladies that scares  men off. It is well known that most men have no idea how to talk to women.

Men are usually baffled when trying to talk to the opposite sex especially if they feel they have nothing interesting to talk about. This is completely normal, which is a good thing. When conversing with women they are interested in, most men are bound to get sweaty palms and jitters in the stomach.

It will be easier for you to talk to women effectively just by knowing the basic principles of how to do it. So many men exert a lot of effort to do a lot more but fail due to improper execution of the basics. The top five things to DO and AVOID doing are the following

· 1.Be yourself always. When talking to women, keep in mind not to come across as too pretentious. Given time, they will be able to observe that you are not being honest with yourself. Instead of getting attracted, your bogus personality will repel women away from you. Women are far more intuitive than men, and they see right through it. So always remain to be the real you.

· 2. Stay collected and do not overwhelm yourself too much.It is natural for both men and women to get nervous when talking to the opposite sex. It is very important that you stay calm from the time the conversation started, until it ends. Push your ideas of talking to her for her to become your girlfriend, it will only keep your mind from being relaxed. Start out friendly. You do not need to impress her all the time.

· 3. Seek for a common interest. Finding a common interest is a way of keeping the flow of the conversation. You can ask her about her favorite food. After that, you can chat about your favorite cooking shows, chefs, and restaurants. Finding a common topic to talk about keeps the conversation flowing. Of course, this too will give you the chance to know her more.

· 4. Avert from cheesy pick-up lines. Cheesy pick up lines are way too Jurassic. As referred to, starting with a friendly conversation results to better chances of continuing to talk. This saves you from experiencing a lot of uneasy and awkward moments. Both of you will be given the opportunity to develop a wonderful friendship through this.

· 5. If it seems appropriate, laugh and smile. Do not be too anxious. Women adore men they can share their laughter with. So break the silence with a joke (without thinking much about it) and share a laugh with everybody. Joke around in exactly the same way you do with close friends (if you have made girl friends then you’ll be able to do this much more naturally through experience).

Knowing how to talk to women is a skill that can be perfected through time. It is crucial that until the end of the conversation, you stay relaxed. This will allow your true persona to show and draw her in through your real charisma.
