I am nor awkward or any expert on girls, but a friend of mine seem to be the expert when it comes to seducting a girl through talks. Every word he said seem to be remembered by his conversation partner.

I don't need those "opener" or starter, but I just want to know how to start a meaningful and memorable conversation along with the characteristics of such good conversations. I am going to a date next week (probably) so I need to prepare. If possible, how and where to practice conversational skills so that you can literally have anyone having fun talking to you?
