Once you are comfortable with greeting a woman you can start to really get the conversation going. This isn’t really a hard thing to do, but it can create some awkward moments. She wont feel safe around you yet and she will be wondering what this guy wants.
The key to getting a woman to open up is asking her open-ended questions. You have to be aggressive with this. These questions need to get her to be compelled to give a good answer. Yes and No questions won’t work. You want to really challenge her.
She might find you a little strange at first for asking aggressive questions, but when you come across as warm and friendly she will go along with it.
So what kind of questions can you ask her? Anything as long as its about her. Preferably if its relevant to the location. It helps to make a statement about her before you ask the question. This helps her figure out why you are asking her this question. The statement can also be a little flirtatious. Another option is to make a statement about yourself first. This makes her feel a little more comfortable and simply make you look more friendly and genuine.
Examples:
At the bookstore
“You look like a bookworm. How do you know when you have found a book that you would like to read?”
At the grocery store
“You must be an expert at cooking sea food. How do you make your fish taste less fishy?”
Sometimes you will need to be prepared to follow up if she doesn’t give you a very good answer. In some cases you may have to answer your own questions first. Just make sure you are prepared for it.
Keep in mind how you say something and the expression on your face when you say it matters. You can defiantly have some fun with “How do you make your fish taste less fishy?” Even “You look like a bookworm.” could come across as a little humorous. By you being interesting you will be encouraging her to be interesting too.
When the woman does speak you need to keep up your genuine interest in her. Focus your attention on her. Use your facial expressions and eyes to show her that you are listening.
