Conversational Icebreakers
Meeting someone thru sports: The gym, tennis court,
golf course, lake, swimming pool, bowling alley, jogging lane,
horseback riding, auto races, horse track, running, etc.
The advantage is that both parties already know they have something in
common. The disadvantage is that people engage in sports often to
unwind and get away from people. If you approach the first time they
have seen you there, you will probably get shot down.
A simple greeting the first few times may be enough and then extend
the conversation every so slightly each time. Of course, if they show
no interest in talking to you, don't be a boob and keep bothering
them. They will spread the word about you and you will be dead meat at
that location forevermore.
Meeting someone in a group at public events. A safe avenue of
future contact. In fact, most young people do not initially date
anymore; they just meet someone, usually in the company of others.
Small groups of people meet at various places and some eventually pair
off.
This has been going on forever, but this
trend is more common now than it has even been in the past. Besides
being safer, this phenomenon is very comfortable and effective because
the group itself becomes the icebreaker.
Date in pairs or in small groups: This is an
extension of meeting in small groups. This phenomenon is also very old
and used to be referred to as double dating. At the early dating
stage, this is very reassuring and it still works.
An offer of an informal first date within
a small group has a lower chance of rejection than a romantic dinner
at an expensive restaurant. The latter is very serious for the initial
stage of dating and runs the risk of too many mistakes and mutual
embarrassment.
Friend to friend contacts: Many dates are actually
arranged via the grapevine. Someone who knows someone who knows
someone makes a referral or gives a reference, shares a phone number
or even makes the arrangements. Women tend to use this method more
than men probably because females are by nature more cooperative;
whereas, men are more competitive and therefore more reluctant to
share contacts.
It is also a known fact (so prove us
wrong) that males who have more lady friends tend to get more dates
than males who have fewer non-romantic lady friends. So, let your
friends be your guide. They may not always choose right, but you will
get you more dates.
