We all sometimes struggle to talk to new people and this struggle can turn into panic if we happen to find this new person attractive! So here’s our Top Tips for talking to new people...
Repeat positive thoughts to yourself as you walk over to a new person. Like:
‘I look great today.’
‘I’m a super, confident person.’
Find common ground
Once you have the confidence to go over, introduce yourself and try to find something you both have in common. Begin by asking a simple question – you don’t have to be really original! Like:
‘Have you been to this place before?’
‘Do you and your friends come here regularly?’
If you’re at a party, perhaps ask how the person knows the host. Try to work out if you have friends in common. The conversation has begun!
