Hi all,
A question in a recent David De Angelo newsletter caught my attention. The guy said he was normally a good conversationalist, but found he froze when wanting to approach a good-looking woman.
I find I am often relaxed talking to people, but I go into fear/rejection/paralysis mode when I see an attractive woman I want to talk to.
David De A's suggestion is:
"Think of a favourite way to start a conversation", then rehearse it, then use it in the field.
The idea being that if you freeze, you have something you know to fall back on.
I have also read that saying 'Hi' or introducing yourself 'Hi, my name's Louis' are good conversation starters, but I don't really like these (unless there is already a connection like being in the same evening class).
I would like to have some original openers to start conversations with women 'cold' in everyday daytime situations like:
* Stations
* Bus stops
* Cafes
* Shops
If I had a few of these, I think I would feel a lot more confident.
Any suggestions for conversation openers?
