Let’s play a game. It’s called How to Get
Noticed.
Pretend you are at a crowded party or social
gathering and you see a cute guy/girl that you want to talk to–how would you go
about getting his/her attention? Do you:
A. Make a loud noise such as clearing your throat,
coughing or sneezing?
B. Walk straight up to your crush, interrupt the
conversation and introduce yourself?
C. Linger in the background listening to the
conversation and then at the perfect moment interject a witty comment or
expound on a point made in the conversation showing how intellectual you are?
For most people the method depends on personality
and level of intro/extroversion. However, the truth is that all of the
approaches listed above won’t let you a smooth interaction and can actually
hijack your attempt at connecting with an unknown person.
