Small Talk with Women
Small talk is talk of things that are fairly unimportant (and probably uninteresting) to you and the girl. But they should be things of some general importance. For example, it would be unsuitable to say that you just saw a gum wrapper on the sidewalk. That would be trivial to the point of absurdity. Small talk should at least presume to be important. Here are a few typical" small talk" comments:
The train is late today. This spring weather is fantastic. The weather is lousy. The streets are very crowded this time of year. Gas prices are getting higher. People don't spend as much these days. People dress more casually than they used to. Service in stores is not as good as it used to be. Food portions are smaller in restaurants. Cars seem to be getting smaller. Computers are unbelievably efficient. The...football team is on a winning streak. The...TV show is terrific. Interest rates are coming down. The stock market is dropping again. A lot of great new albums have been released in the last few weeks.
There are thousands of such comments. They are used just to give you something to say until you are ready with a more interesting subject. You may feel foolish trying to start a conversation with such an ordinary subject as the train being late. But don't worry, it is an accepted way of getting something started. The girl may not care that much about the train, but she will be happy to talk about it if she likes talking to you. It is obvious that you must not engage in small talk for very long - it is very boring if extended.
Sometimes a good subject for discussion will emerge from small talk, but don't depend on it.
