I need help talking to woman about anything. More important is getting them to respond back in a positive way.

I wouldn't ever force the talking.
But a smile goes a LONG way.
As an ice-breaker.

Women like the strong, silent types,
still waters run deep, blah blah ;-)

Talk when you have something to say.

.. use your charms mr right

Show her respect. Compliment her, but dont go overboard. Ask her what she likes to do on dates. Dont be pushy in getting to personal right away. I hate that. Relax you will do fine. If anything send pictures of you .

Be positive yourself first so you get a positive response

SHOW INTEREST in her!! Meaning real interest.

Have stuff to talk about. You can write down things that you do and that interest you. That helps keeping it in your mind. Practice the skill with everyone everywhere.
That will help you relax in conversation.

Have things going for yourself. Social life, hobbies, goals & dreams etc. Makes you more confident, also makes you more interesting.

everybody have that problem at the beginning man and woman but just say what you mean and it will be ok anything doesn't **** it it wasn't meant to be and simply move on but always say what do you want anyone do you mean

soufie, I wouldn't say that I like the strong silent type. It's good to have a back and forth conversation with someone.

I have this same issue. I have no idea how to approach a woman and start a conversation. I'm not a naturally flirtatious guy and often end up as a friend. Trying to figure out how to fix this

From my experience avoid profiles that are pretty much empty an only have one photo. It shows that those are not really serious about the whole dating game and are just here for fun or to see how many hits they get or if their 'ideal superman' will contact them.

Go for a profile that tells you something about them, then pick something you have also an interest in and start with that by saying something about yourself and ask a question about it - has a high percentage of return, surprisingly. And keep it short and to the point, don't write pages about yourself, leave that for later. One topic (Unique greeting, a little compliment, then take the same interest - one confirmation that you do the same with a short example and/or why, and then a quick question to end on with. If you want you can add something like 'looking forward to hearing from you' or something to that end -- that works best in my opinion).

And be original - have an interesting profile (just enough that makes them look twice), some good pics of yourself, and don't just start by saying Hi, Hello, and stuff like that. Tailor it to the person you want to talk to, throw in a little compliment, and be funny and creative - in short, be creative and stand out.

Oh, and check when they were last online - anything over two weeks is usually a waste of time...

hth

Read the above first...

You might also want to prepare a script on how to start a conversation and show it to your friends (or here in the forum) and get an opinion on what it sounds like.

Try becoming a flirt - practice at the supermarket or somewhere like that by just smiling at the cashier and talking to them - not only do they appreciate that (in most cases), but it also heightens your confidence and you learn what works and what doesn't.

Also - your profile doesn't say anything about you, you have to put some effort in (and get rid of the pic with the two women, makes you look like a ladies man IMHO. The picture before that could also be a turn off for most, because they assume it is an ex and not your sister). Instead post a few more pics of yourself, smiling, maybe a full or at least half body shot, and one you doing something you care about (pic of you with an animal in them seem to be the thing atm). Write down some Interests, and fill in the middle bit and the questions at the end, otherwise, it can be seen that you don't really care and that reflects negatively on you. The more effort you put into your profile, the more rewards you will reap.

Go take some time looking at other profiles and see what they write or how they present themselves and then choose the best five and build your own based on them.

I am not saying that you will be flooded with matches, but you will increase the odds of a reply tenfold...

Lots do though.
I cannot imagine anything worse than someone who fails to communicate.

Wowsers, if someone could tell you that....they'd be on the top of the best seller list.

Women, like men, are all individuals and it's not just what you say, but how you say it, body language, comfort level, the factors are many. My suggestion is try to get more comfortable talking to women generally that you are NOT interested in dating. How most men start off or approach, if the woman feels like he just wants to date you, or something else (UGH) and her interest is NOT mutual, chances she'll blow you off or worse.

Check your expectations, you want to know how to talk to woman (women?) and having them respond in a positive way is totally unrealistic. Please understand I'm not at all looking to offend you or anyone else, just trying to give some realistic insight.

If the woman is in this website fill most questions in the profile. I don't like it when is almost empty. Put a picture that shows you made an effort to look nice. Say a compliment that shows you read her profile.

Hi

Let get to start the talking

It's better to be hate for what you are than to be loved for what you are not... Just be on your besst behavior

I agree with others when they suggest practice, try talking to anyone not just women, some people have what they call here in the UK. The 'gift of the gab', (women are born with it, they can talk to anyone about anything), men have to work at it.

Be your self ... that always helps ...

Hublot... Their pieces are timeless. You'd find yourself on their schedule and have to make time for them!
