FRIEND OR MEANINGFUL MOMENT,
THIS BOOK WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO
DO IT.

MATCH WITH SOMEONE, THEN WHAT
IS THE FIRST THING THAT YOU
SAY?

WHEN YOU MEET PEOPLE IN REAL
LIFE.

STORE OR AT A DOG PARK, WHAT
KIND OF TIPS DO YOU HAVE FOR
HOW THEY GET THAT EVEN STARTED?

THEY'RE CUTE.
THEY'RE CUTE. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY COULD BE
MAYBE MY MATCH.
WHO KNOWS?
WHO KNOWS? THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?
>> COMMENT ON SOMETHING AROUND
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. DON'T MAKE IT A FORMAL AFFAIR
AND GO UP AND INTRODUCE
YOURSELF WHICH HAS NO REAL
DIRECTION OR PURPOSE WHERE TO
GO FROM THERE.
JUST COMMENT ON SOMEONE'S DOG
OR ON THE BOX OF SPAGHETTI
SAUCE THEY'RE HOLDING OR
WHATEVER IT IS.
>> RELATE TO THEM THROUGH
SPAGHETTI SAUCE.
SPAGHETTI SAUCE. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> SO YOU COULD BE OUT IN YOUR
PERSONAL LIFE, WORK LIFE.
>> YEAH.

COMFORTABLE.
COMFORTABLE. OBVIOUSLY IF YOU WANT TO DATE
AT WORK, THERE'S PROBABLY MORE
SOCIAL NUANCES TO NAVIGATE AND
THAT'S UP TO YOU, BUT TALK TO A
STRANGER LIKE YOU WOULD YOUR
BEST FRIEND AND PRETTY SOON
YOU'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION LIKE
YOU WOULD WITH YOUR BEST
FRIEND.
FRIEND.
FRIEND. >> WHAT ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE THAT
ARE JUST TRUE IN INTROVERTS
AND EVEN WITH THEIR BEST
FRIENDS DON'T HAVE BIG LONG
CONVERSATIONS?
CONVERSATIONS? >> I WOULD SAY QUALITY OVER
QUANTITY.
QUANTITY.
QUANTITY. I'M AN INTROVERT.
AS LONG AS IT'S MEANINGFUL, IT
COULD BE SHORT AND LONG.
AS LONG AS IT'S INTERESTING AND
I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT IT AND SO
DOES THE OTHER PERSON, THAT'S
GREAT.
GREAT.
GREAT. USE IT TO BREAK THE ICE AND ASK
HOW SOMEONE'S DAY IS GOING.
