But the emotional connection is where I suffer man. I always go in like a poker-faced bullet rarely smiling/smirking and I keep asking questions about HERSELF but it's mostly mundane things
When creating an emotional connection with a woman it is important to trigger an emotion within her and have it relate to the both of you. They generally come easier after the conversation has been flowing for awhile, but if you are limited by time, there is still ways to achieve it. Here's an example:
Hi, my name is Chris, I felt compelled to come up to you and say hi. This may sound cheesy but as i walked by you I felt an overwhelming emotion come back to me from my childhood. You see! I had a crush on this girl in my grade 3 class her name was Mary-ellen Parker. ( smile or have a glazed look in your eye when saying her name) I never had the courage to ever talk to her, then one day she was just gone. I was so sad, The regret of not talking to her haunted me for years. Anyways, you completely remind me of her, You're name isn't Mary Ellen is it? HAHA! Have you ever had anything like that happen to you? Or a reminder of a childhood crush? ( 99% of women had a secret crush on someone).
Another way to create an emotional connection is to show a past vulnerability, one that you have overcome or triumphed over. (losing a stutter, standing up to a bully, your first kiss.etc etc) Be sure to make it a positive experience, or an experience that ended positive( childhood memories tend to have a lot of emotional strength, plus you can show past weakness, without looking weak now)
This will prompt her to tell you about one of her memories, if not. Ask her. The concept here is to trigger a positive memory from her, the more she can relate to your story the better a connection you two will create.
Another way, is to ask her about her passions, and no matter what they are, try and feel them yourself. The more interest you can show in her passions, the more of a connection she will feel for you.
Bottom line is, you can't create an emotional connection if you don't trigger an emotion from her. Childhood memories are a great way to trigger the very strongest of emotions.
