I might have a secret (or maybe 2) for you that could work all the time, my friend! I need to admit that I didn’t consciously choose it. I merely witnessed the result and adored it!
So, the first secret is showing up as a child: silly, peacefully smiling and freely laughing! Unless the guy is a pedophile, they would be embarrassed even to the thought of approaching me!
The second secret is to enter the room as if I was home! When we are too comfortable, we create discomfort in insecure individuals. Those who wouldn’t respect others’ BOUNDARIES and give themselves the permission to invade our space and get our attention in a shallow way are, undoubtedly, part of this group! Secure folks respect and value deep discussions and reciprocity.
It works all the time, trust me!
