Sometimes, when you come to an event or party, you may find that the most difficult thing is to meet new people. Being in a crowd of people where you don't know anyone can get confused and confused. To prevent this from happening, take on board a few tips.
Instructions
Step 1
Dress appropriately when going to an event. So, it is better to come to a secular party in an elegant suit or dress. Accordingly, an informal get-together assumes a more democratic or even outrageous style. When you arrive at the party, stop at the door for a moment and look around. See if anyone you know is in the audience. If there are such people, head in their direction. Even if all the guests of the party are unfamiliar to you, enter the premises at ease, with a light and pleasant smile, as if you know half of the guests here. Most likely, they will also smile at you in return.
Step 2
Find a party organizer among the people present. Give him some appropriate compliment - for example, about a great event and a large number of guests. If you say that you hardly know any of them, the party organizer will probably introduce you to the guests.
Step 3
When you are introduced to people, reach out for a handshake. It shouldn't be too strong or sluggish. Shake the hand of the other person while greeting him. Make sure that your palms are not wet and that the handshake itself does not last too long. It is important to make a good impression from the very beginning of your acquaintance.
Step 4
If the organizer of the event did not tell you what your new interlocutor is doing, ask him about it yourself. If this is a student party, you can ask him a couple of questions about his teaching. Wait for an answer, and only then ask the next question. Also, tell us a little about yourself: for example, where you live, what you do, what you study, etc. Try to keep your communication light and relaxed.
Step 5
You can also meet someone at the party on your own. Look around, perhaps you will see someone else who is also alone for the time being. Walk up to him and ask about something - for example, how is this party for him. Ask a couple more neutral questions. Then introduce yourself and tell something about yourself or ask something about the other person.
Step 6
When meeting at a party in communication, you should not touch on serious or too personal topics that may be inappropriate in such a situation. It is better to find general topics where you can ask the opinion of the interlocutor on a particular issue. You can also improvise. For example, compliment your new acquaintance's costume (style of dress, jewelry), and then go on to discuss fashion trends. Or, if your interlocutor named his occupation, you can talk about a professional topic, if you understand it. If not, show interest in his work and you can learn something new for yourself.
Step 7
In general, in order to learn how to meet at parties, you need to remember only a few basic points: to show benevolence and sincere interest in the interlocutors, to behave at ease, to observe the basic rules of good form. The more often you attend various events and make new acquaintances, the easier it will be for you to make new acquaintances and communicate with different people.
