2. Eat Alone In Public
If you don’t know anyone in a new city, it can be tempting to order take-out and retreat back to your lonely apartment or hotel room. Instead, try eating by yourself in public as often as possible.
You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else.
Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.
2.独自在公共场所吃饭
如果在一座新城市你没有任何熟人,就可能情愿叫外卖,呆在自己的公寓或宾馆房间里。不要这样,要努力尽可能地独自到公共场所吃饭。
独自吃饭可能会使你感到不自在,但是那样做很有好处:单独的一个人比较容易接触。如果你正和别人谈话,人们可能会担心打断你们,或显得太鲁莽。
带本书或报纸去看(这可以减轻你不自在的感觉)。另外,带一本有趣的书,也会给看过的人提供谈话的理由。
