Here are some things that women love to hear: They love to hear that they’re attractive, that they must be good at things and that their children (if they have them) are adorable. So start there. Don’t worry about getting into a conversation — focus on complimenting her. The conversation will flow.
Tell her that her child is adorable. Ask how old he or she is. Ask if it’s her only child. Tell her she must be a good mom because the child always seems so happy. Trust me — this will work. She’ll start asking you questions. Then, there’s always what you have in common — which is that you ring up her food purchases! Comment on the produce she chose (I know this sounds inane, but the point is to get something started, and if you have to tell her that the radishes look really wonderful today, in order to get something going, then so be it! Ask her how she prepares the the salmon she bought or if she prefers tomato or pesto sauce on her pasta! Ask her if she needs help with her groceries out to the car. Ask her if she likes her Honda Civic — or whatever the car is — and how long she’s had it, etc.
I think you get the general idea. I hope that helps. Let me know how it goes.
