I am very much a socializer. I love parties I love having friends at my house, but put me in with total strangers and I am TOAST. I could not get out of there fast enough. Had food, a beer, toured the museum and WHOOSH...outta there.

I have no idea how people do this.
and I'm right at home at these events. We're all different. I've got salesmen that are similar to you and do very well. They're much better 1 on 1 and almost always better at follow up in sincerity which the customers appreciate.

A business can only have so many people at a function with a lampshade on their head.

Don't worry about it

If you get married they think you’re finished and if you are without a woman they think you’re incomplete.

I have written down a few contacts, so this is still a distinct possibility. Could go either way.

Stopped for a drink at the local watering hole today and got a phone number for a massage lady. That's my type of interaction victory

She's actually totally legit. I haven't had a massage in 18 months since Cali decided to shut down. I would pay bucks to get my lower back muskels straightened out

You just have to remember that you are bullshitting them 1 at a time, then it all falls into place.
