Even when it's awkward. Even if you don't normally talk to them. It leads to some interesting conversations 🗯️

Over sharing is the best way to get someone to talk, whether it’s about their personal experience or not. Pointing something out about them that you’ve noticed & complimenting it leaves a good impression which opens more opportunities to talk <3

Usually if it’s a good enough story it’ll get the conversation going

Best way to discover the early sparks of friendships, in my experience, is to be genuinely curious about those you happen across. Ask them questions. Find out and ask about their "true self" list of conversation topics.
As you probe and listen and make space for them to talk with a long runway, they'll likely do the same. If not, no worries, there's always someone else.

(I know that’s not really a word, but it is a philosophy)
It’s OK if you’re single, do things that inspire yourself and be creative and make grand gestures and epic pronouncements.
If you’re in a committed partnership, keep the spark alive by doing unexpected and spontaneous things.
And if you have multiple partners, the serotonin and dopamine from being with one can spread to your relationships with the others. As Spider Robinson said, shared joy is increased.
