Socializing Tips

*with music :)
Relax. Be cool. Ask them about themselves: hobbies, music, their jobs, where they live, favorite ethnic restatuarants, sports, favorite movies, favorite book or author, etc. Everyone likes to talk about him/herself. Just be a good listener. Don't interrogate them. Find something in common and you will have made a new friend. That's the best place to start. Have fun. Just remember most people are shy. But once you get the person to talk about a favorite subject, he/she is on a roll. Just don't let the subject go on for hours. LOL
Move around and talk to a few people. You don't have to change your normal shy self in one night. It will get easier.
