Seriously, a little breaking the ice tip and all of a sudden it makes me Mystery from VH1s “The Pickup Artist”… dude whatever you do after this is your business, it’s not about trying to have a one night stand.

Or is this approach giving them an easy out to not talk to someone if they don’t want to by simply correcting them and moving on, versus having to put them in a position of having to actually reject someone nice futility starting a conversation?

So by the same token if I go up and say “hi I’m ____ congratulations on the wedding” that’s somehow more respectable? Am I not still invading their space and not giving them an easy out to tell me off if they’re not interested in talking?

I’m very much aware!

I’m going to go out on a limb and bet that you’ve never approached anyone trying to break the ice in your life?

🤣 not really the same thing though

Online, At Bars, Clubs, Concerts, Other Group Events. If there is a free flowing social environment (easy way to tell is if there is drinking beyond a casual cocktail, general mingling by the majority of the place) it’s not a bad time. If it’s a gym, or other weird thing like that then you can fuck right off.

Yes the large group of women out celebrating at a bar filled with singles should be left alone at all costs.

Yeah you could always do that too. It just depends on what you want to do.
