Hey JST - me too! Especially with women. It's hard to get talking isnt it. I find it easier in talking with women that I'll pick something about them, say their nails, or piece of jewellery, or clothing item, compliment it and go from there.

Today, a lady who served me at a shop had a smart watch that looked like mine. As I handed the money over I asked if it was the same brand as mine, it was, and we got to talking about how fantastic our watches were, what they did, etc etc.

The other day I commented about a ladies shoes as I passed her and I got a smile and a few words back.

Anyway, it seems to work. Baby steps though.

If you're shy, try reading the book Style Life challenge.

Good luck mate.
