#1/ GUYS: if you want to make women feel more comfortable, look for ways that you can add in words and embellish what your saying to a woman wherever possible. If you're sensing an uncomfortable silence and can't think of anything to say, start asking questions about her to get her talking. Making this small effort will win you huge points in a woman's world. Remember, women talk to show they care and by creating more conversation your showing that she matters.
#2/ WOMEN: don't be frustrated by a man's silence. Try to understand that men have a simpler approach when it comes to communication and the fact that they use fewer words doesn't mean they don't care about you. Remember, men are bottom line orientated so the kind thing to do with men is to be as direct as possible. If you're asking a man to do something for you or you want him to listen, then just get to the point of what you're trying to say as quickly as possible.
