You have been working hard over the last few months and have decided to re-energize yourself with an overseas holiday. You have always wanted a Russian vacation you thought aloud.

That was a few weeks ago and you are now enjoying the company of several beautiful women cruising through St Petersberg. You have always had a weakness for the elegance of Russian women. But then you see her through the crowd. She easily the most beautiful woman there - a "10" in anyone's book. She is alone and you have to go talk to her now before you miss this opportunity. But what do you say?

Stop for a moment and relax.. Russian women are more likely to talk to you than women who you meet in a local bar. There is a shortage of single men in Russia and you will find it easier to strike up a conversation here, especially if you learn a little Russian before you go. But women are women anywhere in the world and they still want to be pursued. If the thought of actually talking to a beautiful woman makes you break into a cold sweat, then here are a few suggestions you can use to put you ahead of the crowd.

She's Just Like Everybody Else

Many men look at a stunning woman we would all rate a "10â€ and have their brain freeze up when trying to think of a good pickup line. You have an heightened expectation of her and that is not fair on either one of you. She's just a woman, and it is okay to initiate a conversation with her just like a person would with any other human being:

How are you today? or "Good morning."

The next time you see a good looking woman, try it. You will not be struck down by lightening for giving it a try. Sure, you are going to must capture her attention her with an interesting conversation that sets you apart from the other men who approach her. But just start by getting your foot in the door first. An informal introduction will come across as a lot more genuine and will also help you both to relax.

The Next Step - Focus on Your Improvisation

The best way to create a genuine connection with a woman is to be present in the conversation with her. Women are far more perceptive then men with conversation. They talk a lot more during the day and are far more tuned to body language. For them, it is easy to tell if you're here in the moment or concentrating on something else. That is, are you thinking about what you are trying to say or you being spontaneous?

The issue is that becoming spontaneous in a conversation is not a talent that comes naturally to most men. But it's a skill, and skills can be learnt. Practice your improvisation skills constantly, regardless of who you are talking to. Aim to pick out something from your immediate environment and build a conversation around it.

Become a master of this and your conversations will flow effortlessly.
