Prepare a calm way into the conversation
There is no need to act more outgoing than feels sustainable. Write about your preferred format: small groups, walks, books or one-to-one conversations. Exchanging a few questions before meeting can give you a familiar topic. A pause in conversation does not have to be filled immediately with a joke. If you need time to reply, you can say so directly.
- Choose a relaxed topic you have something to say about.
- Suggest a place without a loud entertainment programme.
- Decide in advance how long a meeting would feel comfortable.
A place to start
Choose a relevant example and adapt it to your situation. Do not assume someone has interests they have not mentioned.
I find it easier to meet people away from noisy groups. Could we start by talking about a book or planning a short walk?
Sometimes I take a while to reply, but I enjoy thoughtful conversations. Would that rhythm suit you?

What else is useful to know
Do I need to say that I am an introvert?
You can describe your preferences without a label: ‘I like quiet meetings’ or ‘I feel more comfortable talking one to one’. That helps you agree on a format.

No. Interest, replies and willingness to meet depend on the other person. The examples on this page help you start a conversation but do not promise an outcome.
