Starting up a conversation with a girl you like can be awkward and embarrassing. There's nothing worse than talking to an attractive girl and finding yourself mumbling on about the weather or other seemingly pointless things.
The key to starting up a good conversation is to find common ground, ask lots of questions and keep calm and cool.
How to talk to girls
The first thing you can do before you even approach the girl you like is to decide on a few topics that you're both likely to be interested in.
Try to pick subjects that are relevant to both your lives. Asking a girl what she thought of Sidney Crosby's performance against Colorado when she has no interest in hockey is obviously a no-go.
But there are other things you should watch out for too:
How to have an interesting conversation with a girl
Asking questions is important for maintaining an interaction. Before she's even answered your first question, start thinking about two or three more questions you could ask her next.
Another trick to keeping her talking is being attentive. An inattentive listener kills the conversation quickly. The second that your eyes start to gaze around the room or your eyes start to glaze over, you send a signal to her that what she has to say is boring and unimportant.
This brings me to my final tip:
Eye contact and body language.
Maintaining eye contact and giving a girl verbal and physical cues while listening to her is good. Physical cues may include nodding your head, smiling, and mimicking her posture and gestures (a sign that you're listening to her).

But there are other things you should watch out for too:
- Don't ask too many 'yes or no' questions. They will interrupt the flow of conversation.
- Don't bring up topics that might make her feel awkward or uncomfortable.
- Don't give short answers, always explain yourself in detail.
