How to Talk to Women - How to Flirt With Women and Break the Ice

Here's some practical advice for how to talk to women. And (bonus!) these tips also work for women who want to meet men. Let's start with a tip: women love hearing about themselves. We'll put up with having our hands held, our faces studied, our body language observed. We'll put up with intense scrutiny just to hear someone tell us their first impressions of us. And if you can do it well, humorously or entertainingly, you'll earn our undivided attention. You not only flirt, you break the ice successfully. That opens the door so you can get to know someone better. 

Use Conversation Starters that Stimulate Curiosity

What skills or knowledge will help you meet new people and make them want to talk with you? Here are a few suggestions: astrology, handwriting analysis, palm reading, face reading, and even tea-leaf reading. Are you artistic? Then draw a cartoon or sketch of someone and give it to her. If you're intuitive, maybe psychic reading would work for you. It's not a time-consuming talent.

I don't consider myself intuitive, but I once picked a ring out of a hat and got several insights into its owner. Holding it for a few minutes gave me several impressions: 2 girls age 9 or 10, a big front door, and a couple other things. Much to my surprise, I did well: The ring's owner had twin girls, age 10. And she hated her house because "the front door was bigger than the rest of the house." Maybe I should hang out my psychic shingle.... Anyway, with a little practice, it might work for you, too.

Go for Connection, not a Quick Thrill

Pretending to read someone's palm, using it as an excuse to hold someone's hand, is a cheap shot. Unless you're a charmer, your phony ploy will be revealed. When your target jerks her hand back, as she surely will, she might slap you with it.

On the other hand (cough, cough), if a woman pretends to read a guy's palm, it's more likely to come across as a way to flirt harmlessly, especially if she's attractive. Don't blame me for the double standard because I'm just the messenger.

Follow up with Good Conversation Questions to Get to Know Someone

The purpose of your demonstration is to get your foot in the door. Leave your audience wanting more, and make the transition to good conversation topics. You could ask questions such as these: 

• Have you ever had a reading with a palmist, tarot card reader, or psychic?
• Did they give you surprisingly correct information?  
• Have you had any psychic experiences, such as knowing what was going to occur or who was calling you? (Ringtone cues and caller ID don't count.)

As you apply these tips and discover how to flirt and talk to women (and men), I see a bright flirting future ahead for you!
