Well...wouldnt actually call myself a PUA yet. Confidence talking to women definately isnt my problem, its more about what to say to get them interested that I need to work on. Should probably learn a couple of sets? After reading the game i think i have on occasion definately suffered from one-itis. Time to get over that.

Hey man welcome to the PUAF! I'm new here myself.

Something I've discovered that is true about everyone, not just women, is that their favourite topic is themselves. Being a good conversationalist lies very little in the actual conversing, and a lot in the listening. Just have enough general knowledge to carry your small part of the convo, and if there is something you don't know, ask questions. People love to talk about their interests, and explain them. Be sure to listen, and respond with more insightful questions. Be genuinely interested.

Couple of examples:

Me: "That's an interesting necklace you have there, any story behind it?"
There was indeed, and she was happy to discuss it.

Me (to a girl that works at the gym): "Is it good to work out twice a day?"
HB7: "I'm not sure. I'm not the one to ask. I'm actually kind of lazy."
Me: "You work at the gym and you're lazy... what's wrong with you?" (in a teasing voice).
And eventually she started telling me about her sister and her time on the track team etc. etc.

Another key thing is that girls love to be teased. It makes them laugh if you're a little sarcastic and teasing them about something they've done or said. Currently my issue is the odd awkward silence. If I learn anything new about how to avoid those, I'll let you know.

Until then, just approach people and talk. Develop Point-People (Learned about these from David Wygant) in your life (eg., cashier girl, guy at the gas station counter, whomever). Try not to make it forced.

Best of luck,
