The best way to open dialogue with a male or female is to offer a compliment. Everybody loves a compliment. For this example, I simply asked the obvious and said, “ Excuse me, but where did you get that T-shirt? I want one too!” Hint: females love to be complimented on their hair or shoes. Compliment a guy on his car and you’re their instant friend. On both counts, continue to ask relevant questions to further the rapport. In the above shot; if the guy reacted in an unfriendly manner, I’d simply say, “Sorry to bother you. Have nice day”
