I find the best way to start conversations in a classroom situation Whether it ' s a hot girl you want to date , or just anyone man or woman isMake occasional quips comments about what ' s going on in the classroom . Over the course of the class you might toss a couple little back and forth comments like this quietly , and briefly . Then after class is over you introduce yourself , and have a quick conversation . If there ' s mutual interest in keeping in contact , then you exchange information . This works for business contacts at seminars , hot girls in university , the smart dude in class who you need help from , etc . Should note that there ' s a fine line between entertaining , and annoying when doing this . Don ' t overdo it . Read the reactions of the people you ' re making comments to , and keep it really short . Nobody likes to feel like they have to keep up a conversation with you when they ' re supposed to be quiet . Advanced If you get really good at this side small talk , you can engage everyone in a radius around you , and get whole groups to follow you and do things with you . If you do this , then that attractive girl might think that ' s kind of hot .
