So I can talk to a waitress or barista cuz it’s easy. But strangers? It’s rare, I had a convo with one girl who had a dog and we had a chat. I forgot to get her number(wasn’t thinking in the moment to do that). Anyways, I usually find myself able to compliment people, usually I say nice outfit or I like your hair. Recently since I do yoga I’ve wanted to tell someone I like their vibe or they give off good energy(a woman has told me that after a meditation class)

So I can compliment but how tf do I continue after that? Sometimes I do it just because I want to and have no interest continuing. Yet sometimes I want to but idk what to ask after and if they’re with friends or a group it’s even harder. I also don’t know the proper time to ask for a number either.

I’ve given up on dating apps cuz as a short dude dating apps destroy my ego and never lead anywhere
