Don’t give me ‘get off of social media’. I want practical tips that can be used when talking to random people in public places.

    Practice with old people.

    People fifty plus grew up talking to strangers for entertainment.

    The drive by flirt. If you see a pretty girl walking towards you, smile and compliment her clothing. "Great shoes’ and keep on walking. Don’t look back.

    On on that note, everybody loves compliments. “Great T-shirt” will make anyone’s day.

    Team shirts are are good way to get people to talk to you, especially if you live in a sports crazy town.

    Also, a Superman “S” shirt will get at least one comment a day.

        It’s smiling at someone and giving them a compliment.

        It’s only ‘flirting’ in the sense that he’s interacting with someone, even for less than 10 seconds.

          Yeah i know what you mean. Don’t do that. You even called it drive by flirting.

          Don’t catcall, let people get from a to b without beeing talked at by strangers. If I go shopping I am not interested what you think about my shirt.
