Do you feel very uneasy and awkward when talking to men? Do nerves get the best of you every time you get in a conversation with a new guy? Do you get flustered when trying to fill moments of silence? Talking with a new acquaintance of the opposite sex is frequently uncomfortable for both men and women, but you can get past it. Follow along for some suggestions to feel more at ease when talking to men.

The most valuable piece of advice to start with is to try to let him do most of the talking. When you are feeling tense each time you open your mouth, the best thing to do is speak as little as possible. If you can let him carry the conversation, you can have more time to get your nerves in check and gradually join in little by little. How, you wonder, do you get him to do most of the talking? Ask questions. It's that simple.

There are so many advantages to asking questions. You give your new friend a topic of conversation and make it easy for him to respond, especially if you ask simple, basic questions. This makes you appear interested and gives you the chance to find out more about him. You can plan your next question from what his answer is, and you will gradually begin to feel less uptight when talking to your man. He will be relieved that he can easily keep talking because you have offered up subjects that he knows about, such as his job, his activities, or where he is from.

Expect that he will probably pose similar questions right back at you, so calm your nerves and give simple replies. The more personal you get or the more you answer in detail, the more chance you have of entering dangerous territory, whether that is by losing his interest or by giving up too much personal information too soon. For that initial conversation, keep it light-hearted and you will find it easier each time you start talking with a man.
