[QUOTE="bento, post: 3398835, member: 36597"] Conversation about innane things (weather, local events, etc.) can be hard. I have this problem with men more than I do with women. Guys I know at work want to talk about sports, which bore me to no end. I keep up on things by browsing the paper every day and going to interesting news sites. You might do this - find several good introductory topics, like complimenting a woman on her shoes, and then using good listening skills. I mean by "good listening skills" to look them in the face, nod at appropriate times, and follow up with additional questions and comments. Don't stare though and make sure your questions are about the topic at hand. If they smile and ask you questions, then they are enjoying your company. If you're really good you can ask them out for coffee or a meal at a resturaunt. Be sure to complement them, but don't go overboard on the flattery. It's also good to have a sense of humor about yourself. [/QUOTE]
