Nothing’s weirder than a guy who seems threatened by or jealous of her guy friends. Again, you’re just having a pleasant chat. The one you thought was slightly less cute from a distance may be the one you have a conversational spark with and is the single, eager-to-meet one in the group. Sometimes her friends want to play matchmakers. Singles are often shy ones and friends pull for each other when something interesting comes along. There’s a few topics that never fail to start conversation: food, music, and traveling. Everyone’s passionate about these, and by god, if you meet someone who isn’t run because they’re dead inside. My favourite questions are about their favourite poutine or bagels. They’re local questions, so you can segue into where they’re from, how they like Montreal, etc very smoothly and it’s fun to tease yankees about their inferior bagels. Everyone likes talking about concerts or giving tips for new artists, too.
