How To Talk To Girls

We’ve all been there.  You’re talking to some girl you really like, and then you say something moronic like “what happened to your face?” or “are you always this stupid?”  Or, even worse, you never end up talking to her at all.  You just stare at her from across the room, trying to look wistful and occasionally sighing to yourself.  You hope that eventually she’ll see you from across the room and come over to you, throwing herself into your arms and staying there forever.  Of course, it never happens.  Maybe you try and work up the courage to go talk to her, but you tell yourself “I’ve never learned how to talk to girls.  I’m no good at it.”  You may even be right.

Contrary to popular (male) belief, learning how to talk to girls isn’t rocket science.  It’s not even advanced physics, but it does take a little bit of study in the art of communication.  Learning how to talk to girls isn’t anything near to learning how to talk to guys, since guys generally don’t need to talk as much as girls.  Think about it, when you’re sitting around with your buddies playing video games you can have a great time, only saying something when your character gets maimed or killed.  The same strategy isn’t going to work with girls.

One of the best ways of learning how to talk to girls is to practice talking to girls.  This is best practiced with a female friend (if you don’t have a friend who’s a girl, go get one.  Not only are they a lot of fun, they’re indispensable when you get into a sticky dating situation).  Once you have a girl friend, talk to her about what girls are like and what they like to talk about.  This is called “metacommunication,” which involves essentially talking about communication, and it’s one of the quickest ways to learn how to talk to girls.  You’re likely to learn that girls like talking.  A lot.  They also like it when you talk, though not nearly as much as they like it when they talk.  So what’s the secret to talking to girls?  Getting them to talk.  This involves asking a lot of questions.  So, ask questions, and pay attention to what they’re saying instead of just trying to think of what to say next.  If you’re honestly interested in them, learning how to talk to girls becomes a piece of cake since you’ll have questions to ask and they’ll have things to say, and eventually they’ll become interested in you as well.
