Many people are concerned about going to a party where they don’t know anyone. How will they meet peopleand what will they talk about? What is the thing that makes people social?
The answer is so simple it sounds like a dirty trick and yet even the most socially nimble fall for it every time.
You get people to talk about themselves. What interests them? Simple, it’s what interests them.
Find something to compliment, ask them what they do, about their kids, where they have been, or their interests. I guaranty you can start a conversation on one of them. Direct the conversation toward them. As soon as you show interest in their interests, they like you.
Keep this as a road map for all social interactions. You will never be running blind because you have an easily executable plan.
