Opening up a conversation
Quote From: niagaraYou've been going to the wrong shoe shine. But if you've never been, and your footwear is a mess, you're making a poor first impression because research says it is one of the first things people observe. If nothing else, you come away with a new experience to talk about, and with good looking footwear to improve your chances of making a great first impression in the workplace or the social arena. Try saying to another customer that it is your first time --- this should open up conversation. Then ask if this a ritual, and where he works, etc. But if his head is in the paper, read the signs.
Above all, stop the negativity, and stop looking for fault, otherwise you may never experience positive change.
Where ever I am i always say,Hi how are you, if i see an attractive man . If he wants to continue a conversation he will, if not that is OK> I have had great conversations with men in a doctor's office or at the insurance company while waiting for an appointment and i am seventy. Men like it when you smile and look friendly even if it goes no further. I have seen many men sitting and reading or just browsing at the book stores. If you see a nice male in a certain part of the bookstore browsing just ask him if he can suggest a good book for a male cousin whether you have one or not.
