Don&#8217;t even think about whether you should talk to them or not &#8211; just do it! \u00a0\u00a0You don&#8217;t have to fancy them as every approach is just practice for the next one. Above all, have fun. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If you can get their attention right away when they aren&#8217;t expecting it they won&#8217;t have time to be defensive.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest you approach people everywhere except clubs and bars ( as they will be on their guard and &#8220;expecting&#8221; to be approached.) \u00a0\u00a0The best places are bookstores, supermarkets, public transport and coffee shops. Many many singles\u00a0 hang out in coffee shops during their lunch hour. Just sit in one for a while and watch who comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when you do approach them, have a question to ask them. \u00a0Ask them which coffee is best as there are so many choices, or if they have read a certain book. \u00a0\u00a0It doesn&#8217;t really matter WHAT you say, just make sure you smile and put them at ease. \u00a0Don&#8217;t ask questions that rely on simple yes\/no replies as you want to get into discussions with them.<\/p>\n<p>The more people you approach then the easier it will be next time. Before long it will just come naturally and you&#8217;ll find they will\u00a0 even approach you first!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a fantastic course aimed at men which I do recommend you have a read of, which teaches these skills in more detail:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ya89j5a\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ya89j5a<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<p><span>James <span>Preece<\/span><\/span> &#8211; The Dating Guru<br \/>\n<span> www.<span>asiansinglesolution<\/span>.com<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s blog is all about something I know a lot of people find hard.\u00a0 Every day you see lots of interesting people that you&#8217;d love to start a conversation with.\u00a0 You imagine what it might be like to get to know them.
