The next time you face a room full of strangers . . . you might tell yourself that some of them are just friends waiting to be found.
No Tinder, no Match, nothing. I don't mind going up to people when I'm out. I have a better chance of getting a read on them that way.
I would kind of, you know, go stand next to some unlucky guy and say eventually, Hi, I'm George. You know, I'm with The New Yorker. I'm a liberal. I'm somewhat left of Gandhi. Do you want to talk? And, you know, they always did.
Push your luck. If you see a pretty girl in a bar, say something.
We have all been there: we see that gorgeous person across the room, and we want to go and speak to them so badly. However, the 'rules' of society mean we usually don't end up doing it, despite our friends' best efforts to convince us to. Time for a change. Be empowered and say hi! It's proven that people really like it when you take initiative.
I couldn't walk up to a woman at a bar and say hello.
I'm not good at picking people up, I'd rather just get to know someone. I'm not an 'opening line' kind of guy; it's not really my scene. But at school, I was good at talking to girls. I wasn't good at making moves, though.
I think it shows that you are a confident person if you can walk up to a group of girls and just be able to talk to them sober.
