| Solid advice there from Snarg.
I'm a Ludwig Wittgenstein fan. Language games helped me a lot in many interactions--professionally and personally. Here's the gist of it.
Think of a telephone convo. The routine that we've learned goes like this:
Caller: Hello.
Called: Hi.
Caller: Blah. Blah. Blah.
Called: Yeah. Blah. Blah. Blah.
Caller: It's a pleasure talking with you. Bye for now.
Called: Me too. See yah later.
The routine here is the introduction and the ending. What goes in between is a different routine (or set of routines). Homo sapiens societies thrive on routines from toilet training to walking, from working 9 to 5 to breakfast, dinner and lunch, from switching the lights on and off to the sounding of the alarm clock in the morning... All of these are routines.
The things that make one a natural with conversations are practice and knowing how to use one routine after another depending on the situation and social environment.
Among lawyers using the words jurisdiction, plaintiff, affidavits and other legalese are routine. So if you talk with lawyers and use some of those concepts and terminologies, you're 'normal'.
The language among photographers is likewise different as well as the language among pick up artists. If you use PUA terminology when conversing with girls who have no clue whatsoever with the PUA community, then you're not being 'normal'. Get some basic understanding of Role Theory and you're good.
Girls too have a different language among themselves. Although it's still English, they talk about feelings, people, hair (yes, hair! ...and shampoo ...and conditioners ...and so on.) and gossip. On the other hand, men talk about sports, politics, war and beer. You get the idea.
So, taking hints from the telephone conversation routine, you start a convo with girls this way...
You: I feel like that guy over there had a bad day. Look at his hair.
Girl: Lol. Yeah. It looks like he haven't used a conditioner for several weeks.
You: (Since you've got her hooked, transition to listening mode...) Do you use conditioner every day? (Touch her hair. This is masculine nonverbal communication while you're doing feminine verbal communication.) Your hair feels so smooth and luxuriant.
Girl: Yes. I get a rebond too once a month. Blah, blah, blah.
You: That's cool. Unfortunately, barbers don't do rebonds. (Introduce masculine verbal communication.)
Girl: Lol.
You: Btw, do you shampoo your cat or dog?
Girl: I don't like pets. (Calibrate and change the subject if she doesn't like the topic.) Hell, yeah. I have a Persian cat and blah, blah, blah. (When her eyes twinkle, go to listening mode.)
You: (After she runs out of things to say, transition to masculine verbal communication.) Oh. So your cat is a he... Does he have a big cock?
The 'normal' language game pattern with women (when doing male-to-female conversations) goes something like this:
Language Game Start: Opener
Feminine Mode --> Listen Mode --> Masculine Mode --> Listen Mode --> Feminine Mode --> Listen Mode --> Masculine Mode --> Listen Mode
Language Game End: Closer _________________ Approach. Open. Escalate. Isolate
