Historically that’s not how folks have met and gotten in relationships. We have had small tight-knit communities with people we see every day, and social groups much the same, and you’d constantly be exposed to people and flirt and develop a rapport before making a move. So don’t feel bad if your stranger game isn’t amazing. You weren’t really wired for it. (unless you’re gay, in which case, let’s touch peepees out back)

Ask the couples you know how they met. It’s almost always their educational institution or place of work. I have literally never heard anyone’s story say that it was a stranger. I’ve been out of the dating game for well over a decade, but I get the impression now that unsolicited approaches (with romantic intent) are less welcome than ever and many would consider it to be unexpected harassment.
