A dating instructor offers tips for meeting men, from using conversation starters and eye contact to discussing sports and flirting with a quieter voice.
0:00 There are no men out there. 0:04 Hmm, attractive woman. Just my type. But she sure looks like a... 0:12 Well, I don't need that. 0:16 Some good conversational pieces include a book with an unusual title, a small stuffed animal, interesting pieces of jewelry, a pet, sports jersey, a sports magazine, or a t-shirt with a slogan. 0:31 Here's an example of a woman who overcame her fear of letting a man know that she was interested. 0:36 What do I have to lose at this point? A rerun of Dallas and a pint of ice cream? 0:41 Your mother may have taught you that it's rude to stare, but it's the most powerful and direct way to let a man know that you're interested. 0:49 Is there any good news today? 0:51 Not really. 0:53 I guess I don't need this then. 0:56 You know, somebody ought to come up with a newspaper that only has good news in it. 1:00 You know, that's a terrific idea. I would be the first person to buy it. 1:03 Maybe we could start up a subscription base. 1:04 Oh, what a wonderful idea. 1:06 There's plenty of people in this town that could use some good news. 1:08 It's true. Some women in my workshops have even gone so far as to spill their drink on a man they want to meet and get his phone number by promising to pay for his dry cleaning, but avoid spilling red wine because you don't want him to remember you for the wrong reasons. 1:23 You know, there's a lot of shy men out there. Research shows that 40% of men suffer from shyness, and 80% of men have been shy at one point in their lives. 1:33 Many of them could have everything you're looking for, they just have trouble approaching women. 1:39 If you can approach them, you're tapping a gold mine. 1:46 I know a woman who can engage almost any man in conversation because she knows a lot about sports. 1:51 She suggests that you learn about the local sports teams and players. 1:55 If you think you can't get interested, find a player you find attractive or interesting, and at least find out something about him. 2:04 Avoid topics that have to do with your past relationships, health problems, financial worries, and most of all, problems with men. 2:11 It's not what you say, but how you say it when it comes to flirting. 2:15 Pause after you speak and allow him time to respond to what you're saying. 2:19 Get into sync with him by nodding in agreement with what he's saying. 2:23 One way to draw men closer to you is by lowering your voice so that they need to lean closer to hear what you have to say. 2:29 Whispering to someone when others are around makes you both feel as if you're sharing a secret. 2:34 I suggest you let him know that it really turns you on when a man talks about his feelings.
