Getting the conversation rolling when you’re feeling a little nervous can take a bit of practice. Here, we’ve got a list of tips to turn you into a master of conversation when talking to the opposite sex.

Striking up conversation with someone isn’t as easy as it looks. Some people make it look like child’s play and to others it’s just too daunting. Here, we’ve got a great list of tips to help you impress the opposite sex with your conversation skills. So the next time you’re with your friends at one of the hottest new Sydney bars and you notice a good looking blonde or a tall dark and handsome nearby, you’ll have the skills to get chatting:

Be confident

Even if you are nervous, try not to show it. Approach them, smile and ditch the cheesy lines. A simply ‘hello’ is a good start. If they are standing at the bar, and your smile is received well, perhaps ask if you can buy them a drink. Women are often standoffish if a man offers to buy them a drink straight out and they won’t be able to see them get it. But if you’re at the bar, there’s no issue.

Remember, if they say ‘no thanks’ it’s no big deal. There’s lots of singles out there.

So you’ve got yourself a live one, what next?

You’ve found the courage to talk to that good looking guy or girl you’ve been staring at all night from behind the pot plant, now what? Here are our important tips for keeping the conversation smooth:

• Make eye contact- Maintain eye contact. Maintaining eye contact is a sign you are listening when the other person talks. Manners are important.
• Keep it light-hearted- Don’t get into the heavy topics of religion and politics. Instead, opt for asking her about the latest celebrity gossip and what she thinks of so and so’s new drama. Women love to talk about topics like that. If you are finding it hard to talk to a guy because he’s letting you lead the conversation, ask about what he’s interested in. Music, sports etc. Once you get onto a topic he’s interested in, ask questions. This is sure to pull him out of his shell.
• Be playful- Talk about fun things and ask them questions about their favourite gelato flavour or cartoon they watched as a kid. This will lighten the conversation and is sure to elicit laughter.
• Be comfortable in silence- If you notice the conversation dies down, don’t immediately try to say something. Allow the awkward silences, show you are comfortable and don’t just have to say something for the sake of it.
• This tip is especially for the guys- Don’t try to impress too much- Women can always pick up when a guy is trying to impress them and often this can be a turn off. Be genuine, women prefer their men modest, not big-headed.
• Don’t try to get in their head- After some time of chatting and perhaps a little flirting you may be tempted to ask a question like, ‘am I your type?’ or something similar. Remember in order to ooze confidence, it doesn’t matter if you are their ‘type’ or not. These types of questions are strictly off limits.

Sydney is such a wonderfully multicultural city. There are so many different bars and nightclubs that attract people from all different races and backgrounds. If you are here to study English and feel intimidated to get out there are meet people, don’t be. Australians are in general extremely friendly and won’t mind if you mix a few words up. It’s just all about getting out there and if you feel and look confident, who cares if you have a little trouble at times understanding English.
