Another thing you can do is just get into the flow of traffic.

So let's say you're at a museum and people have to check in.

If you're in a place with the flow of traffic, it's easier to just talk to someone because you don't have to physically approach them.

Another thing is to ask for a recommendation.

So at a bar, at a restaurant, say, hey, have you been here before?

What do you recommend?

You don't need a fancy opening line.

You just need that bridge to connection.

And the last one is peacock.

Wear a loud sweater.

Wear an interesting hat.

Make it easy for somebody to approach you.

We so often want to connect with people, but we don't know what to say.

People never approached me more than when I had a boot on my foot because I broke it and when I was pregnant because they want to talk to you, but now they have an automatic in because they know what to talk to you about.

Make it easy for people to connect with you by wearing something that's a conversation starter.

This is cheesy and it might be stolen from the pickup artist community, which I don't necessarily condone, but you can walk up to them and say, hey, can you guys settle a bet for me?

Oh.

Engage with the group.

You don't have to just go after the one person who you're interested in because they're probably having fun with their friends.

But can you now become part of the conversation?
