Ways To Start A Conversation With New People

Sometimes you might find yourself in a situation where you want to talk to people but it just seems too awkward to walk up and introduce yourself. Don’t worry though, everyone has been there and you will find that it’s not too hard once you have a few tricks that will make starting a conversation much easier. Since this is exactly what we are all about, here are citysocializer’s best tips to get you going.

1. Give the other person a compliment.

Compliments may see tricky at first glance but there is a right way to do it. Pick something the other person is wearing, shoes are the default option because they work for all genders, and tell them you like them. Other clothing items will also do; the point of the compliment is to show you admire a choice they made, and not they physical appearance that they have no power over.

Do: Focus on their colour or texture or some feature that you’d also like to have in your clothes.

eg. Your coat looks very warm; that’s prefect for this weather. Your style is very sophisticated.

Don’t: Avoid things that sound like flirting or are overly vague.

eg. That’s a very sexy dress. You look beautiful.
