How do I socialise in bars
| You need to find a bar before you talk to anyone.
There are Rum Bars, Gay Bars, County Bars, Irish Bars, Fancy Bars, Dive Bars, ect.
Many throw local events, like live shows and (less subtlely) singles nights. Once you find a bar, become a regular, but not a bar fly.
| The bar tender will always talk to you. Don't worry about it.
| Thanks!
| Bars are the worst places to find good friends. Either find friends first, then visit a bar together, or just keep your contacts really superficial. Take it from an ex-bartender.
| Hmmm. Thanks, that's insightful, but I think I need to at least try.

| Hi g/u/rls. Straight to the chase. I'm not a good socialiser, but I wanna find some long-term friends. Most of my friends are from the internet rn, or we parted our ways IRL and now talk only over the internet. So, when I played Va11 Hall-A I thought that maybe going to a bar might be a solution for my lack of real friends.
So, any advice on approaching someone in a bar? How do I talk to the bar(wo)man? Is it better to listen or talk? Never been to a bar before.
Thanks in advance
