Anyone can become a smooth talker; it just takes a little practice.

To complete this How-To you will need:

The latest news
A charming smile
An opening question
Good listening skills

Step 1: Be well-informed

Begin every day with a quick review of the news so you're never stuck for a conversation starter.

Step 2: Find an opener

If you prefer a more personal approach, quickly scan a person's outfit for something you can use to initiate a conversation.

Step 3: Start with a smile

Before you say a word, give them a special smile: Make eye contact with the person, wait a second, and then slowly let a smile spread across your face. Research shows this little trick immediately charms people.

Tip: Make your opening line a question that can't be answered with a simple "yes" or "no."

Step 4: Really listen

Listen for casual asides; people often make references to topics they love. Prove you're really listening by remarking on something they just said.

Tip: Make sure to say "you" more than "I" during the chat.

Step 5: Don't seem overeager

Resist the urge to yelp "Me, too!" or agree with everything the person says. It will make you seem needy and insincere.

Step 6: Do some talking

Don't turn the encounter into an interrogation. Though you want to encourage the other person to talk about themselves, you need to contribute to the dialogue, too.

Tip: Steer clear of topics you're overly passionate about; you run the risk of monopolizing the conversation or lecturing.

Step 7: Don't overstay your welcome

If you realize the other person isn't saying much, tell them you've enjoyed talking to them and move on.
