SUMMARY:Starting the Conversation
LOCATION:Visible Coffee Roasters - Madison
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 22% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nNote 2 changes compared to previous events:\n\n1. New Ven
 ue - Visible Coffee Roosters on Madison (not Ada's).\n2. $5 - $10 suggeste
 d donation to help cover venue rental.\n\nLet's practice starting low stak
 es conversations in low pressure environments. It's the gateway to more ex
 citing and fulfilling social interactions in the future.\n\nWalking up to 
 an intimidatingly beautiful or handsome stranger and trying to get them to
  like you is high pressure\, high stakes. Talking to someone who looks fri
 endly at a potluck\, mixer or house party is low pressure. Our intention w
 ill set the stakes.\n\nTo make it low stakes\, our intention will be to si
 multaneously a) learn about the person we're talking to and b) share what 
 we feel comfortable with about ourselves. It's not to get them to like us\
 , sell them anything\, or convince them of something we believe in.\n\nDur
 ing the conversation you might find common interests\, passions or activit
 ies. Or you might not. Either outcome is a win. Our goal is to learn to re
 lax and maybe even feel playful while having these types of conversations.
 \n\nWe'll discuss when it might be a good idea to exchange contact info an
 d when doing so is more likely to leave you ghosted.
