A Few Tips on How to Talk to Women
The following info was contributed by one of my Don Diebel Succeed with Women Newsletter readers, Rick Rozek www.diskjockey.com/indexk.html
Don,
Some time ago in business I learned a technique that works great for business as well as personal communication. It has come in great for conversations with women and you may have heard of it. It's called.... F.O.R.M.
FAMILY: If you're shy, or for whatever reason, talk about her family, how many brothers and sisters, questions about parents, did she have a favorite pet? A conversation about one family member may lead to another topic, thus the conversation continues and it gives her a chance to talk about the people close in her life.
OCCUPATION: The "what do you do for work" is a standard question, but when you ask how she came involved to do the work she is in, or what led her to do it, is always good. She can talk about some of the people at work, what they do, how they integrate in her life, etc. Does she get along with them? Are their things which she likes or hates about her work? That may give one a clue as to the demeanor that awaits inside and how she reacts to things.
RECREATION: What does she do in her spare time? What would she like to do that she hasn't tried yet? Perhaps that might lead to an interesting first phone call or first date. Maybe she knows something the gentleman doesn't that she enjoys for recreation and she would be willing to show him.
MISCELLANEOUS: When all else fails, like you said, the article in the paper, did astronauts really walk on the moon, favorite flavor of ice cream, etc. I usually find one thing always leads to another and if you are able to impress her with amusing anecdotes without sounding like Cliff Clavin from Cheers, she will usually be impressed with your knowledge of events and happenings.
The FORM technique has worked for me for several years and I employ it all the time when I meet someone new. You may wish to share it with your readers and I hope you found it insightful in a positive way.
Keep up the good work.
