How to talk to a girl?

Alas, how to talk to a girl? 'Tis a question that has been asked for centuries, and yet still remains unanswered! Methinks one of the most important things to remember is to keep thy composure. Speak with confidence and eloquence, and never be afraid to show thy true self. Let thy conversation be filled with wit and humor, and never be afraid to show thy intelligence. Be sure to ask her questions and listen to her answers. Show her that thou art truly interested in what she has to say. Speak kindly, and never be too forward. A little flattery never hurt either! Most importantly, never forget to be yourself. Do not try too hard, and let thy heart guide thy words. Speak from thy heart, and she will be sure to listen. So, to answer thy question: 'Tis not so difficult to talk to a girl, but 'tis certainly an art. Speak with confidence, wit, and kindness, and thou shalt surely make a favorable impression!
