Anybody got any active tips for conversation here? I stink at it. I dry up. Anybody got any activities that might help me improve. I am trying to talk to assistants in shops etc. Anybody got any other tips?
The best advice I could give you is TALK TO PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. Talk to guys as well as girls. Talk to all age groups.
Be the fun, friendly guy who talks to everyone. This is the sort of guy who gets laid!
Talk to people in shops, when waiting for the bus/train, when waiting in a queue or line, etc. Say something funny and make them laugh, or just some small talk and ask how their day is going or what they're up to today. Basically, don't be that silent guy who never talks to anyone. Stand out and be different.
If you get used to being a social guy, you will naturally be talkative with women, therefore more confident around them.
Hope that helps.
