Talking to strangers is a dangerous prospect, especially opposite sexes. It’s so, so hard to tell if someone is being polite or if they really want to talk to you. I think what is needed and what this article doesn’t touch on enough, is a catalyst. We’re in our phones a lot and media had made talking to strangers only something crazy people do. What we need is more opportunities to talk about something other than ourselves, to break the ice, then I think we’ll find better connections with strangers. Also, this was interesting: Today, Nic has a name for these types of conversations: “Greyhound Therapy.” As she uses it, the term literally refers to talking with your seatmate on a long-haul bus but can apply to talking with strangers anywhere—at a restaurant, at a bus stop, in a grocery store. Those are called single-serving friends. :-)
