What is the difference between these two words? Enticing and tempting She is so enticing that makes me want to talk to her. She is so tempting that makes me want to talk to her. Do they sound natural? Or is there any other way to say it?

To make the sentences natural it should be "it" makes me want to talk to her. The "it" being that which you find tempting or enticing.

Enticing=something that is attractive offering you advantages or pleasure. An adventure or a member of the opposite sex. etc Tempting=something you want to do, or to have. often used interchangeably. Sentence 1)You want to talk to her hoping to have some reward or pleasure from it. Sentence 2) You want to talk to her because you are attracted to her. Although there probably isn't to much difference between your sentences, they both imply you find here tempting or enticing. Or subtly possible both. I think there is not much point in debating the difference for your context. we would find a meal with "her" tempting and a promise of an adventure with "her" enticing. Hope this helps.

Enticing: to me means that she is wanting me to explore her whole mystery. Tempting: to me means that she wants to bring out the darker side.
