<<Read the Guy version

It's a myth that guys look at beauty alone. Sure, a pretty face might get you through the front door, but that's about all, really. Guys look for someone to relate to, someone they can pour their hearts out to. Guys want someone they feel at ease talking to, because 50 years down the road, when you're both old and gray and even reaching for that bottle of Viagra seems a chore, conversation is all you have left.  

Don't Be Discouraged  

If you try talking to a guy, and they snap back at you, don't be disheartened. Instead, follow up with something like, "You must have had a real bad day at work, want to talk about it?" This shows that firstly, you genuinely care about him and secondly, it allows him the opportunity to tell you what's on his mind. It gets a lot easier from then onwards.

Ending The Conversation

There's an art to ending a conversation too, you know. When ending the conversation, keep these three objectives in mind. One, the conversation needs to end on a light note. Two, you need to show that you want to get back and continue the conversation some other time, hinting at the possibility of a date. And three, you should strive to end the conversation before you run out of things to talk about. That way, you avoid the awkward moment at the end when you both stare at each other and smile sheepishly, not knowing what to say.

You could say something like, "Hey, thanks for the coffee. Loved the cappuccino. I'm afraid I really need to get going. What about if we continue this conversation some other time?" or even possibly, "Wow! That was interesting. Want to grab some lunch and see a movie tomorrow?"
