All it takes to meet new people is a little bit of confidence! Whether you’re trying to find a new romantic partner or make a few new friends, creating a connection with another human being isn’t as difficult as you’re making it out to be. First, be confident about who you are, and stop trying to assume a role of the person you think people want you to be. Just be the person you are. People are attracted to genuineness. Relax and let your idiosyncrasies show.

What’s on your mind today? Maybe it’s expansive philosophical issues, or maybe it’s your take on the latest celebrity. Whatever it is, it should be an awesome icebreaker today, either online or in real life.

You two could find yourselves in the eye of a storm today. Is it a family struggle? career crisis? Lucky for you, the eye of the storm is where it’s calmest.

Your social problem is the very same as your private problem for a change. And the same holds true for almost everyone around you. It’s both a comfort and a guilty pleasure to realize it.
