The Conversation (2)

When having a conversation with anyone you basically do one thing: discuss common interests. Music, art, history, work, school, family, future etc. When talking to women, you can start with any of thses subjects or whatever happens to come to your head(make sure it's not something weird like 'you looked good at the supermarket last saturday'). An excellent way to begin a conversation is with a complement, or a thoughtful action such as holding the door. Poof - you just created an icebreaker(congratualtions).

Now that you have started a conversation, you have an almost infinite list of topics to choose from, which ironically tends to be the downfall of most conversations. The key concept to hold in mind is to share experiences. The best way to do this is to try to involve her in something your doing a the moment or talk about common interests. If you don't know much about her, ask a question or two - the more you know about her, the more you can talk about. For example, if you want to talk to a co-worker, it helps if you ask someone who knows her what she likes and find a way to slip it into the conversation. Asking her opinion or help on a topic or a activity that you're interested is also a good way to find common ground. This advice may seem repetitive, but the sooner you know how to hold her attention, the sooner she'll start to pay attention to you. Add a dash of humour or good natured arguing and you have the recipe for what people call 'chemistry'.
