How do you talk to a girl you don't know?

[Keep Going]

I know the general answer would be to just get to know her but how exactly? I lack the skills in getting to know a girl because I don't know what to say to continue a conversation. Tomorrow is my youth group meeting and I really want to get out of my shell and meet a girl. Not only because I've always been afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone, but also because I never had a girlfriend because of this.
The top questions I could think of at the top of my head would be... Hey what school do you go to? Do you play any sports? After that I'm stuck and the conversation ends. It's even harder for me when they don't put any effort to talk to me, like explaining their interest or asking me questions in return.

First, don't expect to have the "get to know everything about each other conversation" all in one conversation. The best approach is to say a few things to a girl, then get interested in something else for a while. So if you are going to a youth group meeting, talk to a girl about a few things for a few minutes, then say excuse me and go talk to someone else for a while, for example, your teacher or another adult. A lot of little good impressions are better than one big bad impression.

Then later, go and talk to the same girl again. This way she won't see you as having any sort of agenda, but she will think you are interested. Always, always always be conversational. And the more you talk to people in general the better your conversational skills will get. So, it is something you'll have to work up to.

And, don't expect anything more than casual friendship right off the bat. A real relationship takes lots of time. Lots of little conversations here and there over a few months time. Women want relationships to start out as friends, then go in stages from there.

Another good idea is to hang out in a group. Groups are good because you can branch off and talk to a girl for a few minutes, then when things get stale you can go back to your group. And it also helps to have an agreement with a few of your friends that if you are talking with one person too long for them to come and bother you for a while. It's all a timing thing. Make sure your friends understand when the right time is to come and interrupt or "steal you away" and when the wrong time is to do this.

Be relaxed and at ease with yourself. Smile a lot and make eye contact. Be confident and be interested in her not just interested in only talking about you.

Use your intuition to read what she is thinking and if she is sending positive signals to you or negative signals to you.

Women rarely come out and say what they want, they will tell you with body language and non-verbal communication.

And lastly, if you gain a new friend be happy with that. No one likes a relationship forced on them.

dont forget to compliment her like nice shoes or necklace where you get it but dont make it obvious look for something unique she is wearing like a braclet or something. be good a flirting you can do this in may ways. try getting eye contact with her and then look away an pretned to look like shit she caught me then walk up to her after like the second time try being abite mean to her in a flirty way and try to touch her e.g hands arm shoulder. look for the right time to leave to just stay standing their when the convo dies as it will as you dont know each other that well if it doesnt then contiune. before u leave try get her name or something to add her on facebook ask her is she has or get her number. leave to go get your friend or a drink or just get an excuse

Like this, "Hey, a girl you don't know. Who named you? An English teacher?"
Joking, that was bad. You should ask about her qualities. What does she enjoy, favorite food,music taste, little things like that. Then, if you guys feel comfortable talk about more serious stuff, then ask what's her opinion on current events. You want to know about this person, the way she thinks, acts, etc. Ask her questions which will let you know about her in a Historical, mental, physical, etc, aspect.
