For many men, there are only a few things on the planet more awkward than starting a conversation with a girl, especially if she is beautiful.

And you know what’s worse? Placing her on a pedestal!

Idolizing a woman doesn’t help your chances of thinking straight enough to start a conversation with her because it puts so much distance between both of you. Besides, she probably doesn’t find it attractive.

So, how do you start a conversation with a beautiful woman from scratch without feeling stupid or making a fool of yourself?

Use pick-up lines? That’s just lame!

Want to discover great conversation starters with a girl you admire? You’re in luck.

Let’s get this started.

Avoid These Mistakes

First, let get clear on what you need to avoid if you want to spark some fascinating discussions with a lady, even if you’re just meeting her for the very first time.

Talking Yourself Down

Cut yourself some slack. We all know that kicking off a solid conversation with the fairer sex can be nerve-wracking. It’s not peculiar to you alone. It’s not about being an introvert. Feeling awkward around women (especially attractive ones) happens to almost every man at some point in their lives, even those who are socially active and smooth with ladies.

If you talk yourself down, you automatically shut yourself up and freeze your brain. It’s like pressing the mute button on your inner inspiration, making it difficult for you to think of what to say even before you approach a girl you admire.

Many guys are worried stiff about something as simple as making eye contact with a woman. Add to that the pressure of trying to make a good first impression, plus wondering what to say and how to keep things rolling.

Phew! That’s just a lot!

The point is, don’t berate yourself even if you mess things up with a girl you like. The process of starting a conversation is difficult enough; there’s no need to add to the pressure.
