Communication is the exchange of ideas.  Words represent ideas.  Communicating follows a protocol and when you speak you have already entered the culture of the other person.  Starting is reaching, active, speaking is reaching for the other person.  Listening is receiving, withdrawing and passive.  Are you sure you're wondering how... maybe where is better!  Where are you going with this sentence?  Chicago or Detroit?  What are you reaching for?  Why are you asking?  If you want to talk with me so much, what do you want to talk about?  If you don't know... then why are you asking?  Maybe I should offer a class in flirting!  You're terrible at flirting with western guys, btw.  And those out of date glasses don't really turn the guys on.  You know they come to my computer to see... they tell me everything  this professor knows everything and has ears everywhere!
