Anywhere! You can start a conversation with anyone anywhere. Make a joke, ask about a piece of clothing or a product they are holding or try “You look familiar, have we met?”
Try these places:
- grocery store
- coffee shop
- laundry mat or dry cleaners
- restaurants
- in the elevator
- at the gym
- in the park
- in the parking lot
- target
- a sporting event
- the beach
Remember these two key components to be available yourself:
Make time to meet people. You don’t have to go out and seek someone, just slow down and notice the people around you.
Try going alone. I gave advice for meeting people when you are with friends in: How to be a Man Magnet or How to be a Chick Magnet, but you are significantly more approachable when you are alone. If you are meeting friends for dinner, arrive early and have a seat at the bar while you wait. Don’t fidget with your phone either, be approachable.
