The advice about singling out pairs of people is really interesting. How does one go about approaching them if they are in mid conversation?
Do you just lurk, wait for a brief pause, then swoop in? This seems creepy.
Do you just barge in mid-sentence? This seems rude.
Do you chime in if they something that catches your interest? This seems nosy.
- onethingnew 13y agoWhen I got close to a pair of people, about 70% of the time one of them would make eye contact with me, so I'd introduce myself. The other 30% of the time they stayed intensely focused on their conversation, so I'd move on. Just remember that everyone else at these events is there to meet other people too. They WANT to mingle, and by introducing yourself, you're helping them do so. Good luck!
