From research, I realize socializing is very similar to chess with limitless variations. Most people like to be approached but in selective time and place. What I learn is to not approach them if they are:

• In a conversation with a person (face-to-face, texting, or on a call)

• Have head or ear phones on

• Fully focus in on a hobby from homework to drawing to reading to shopping & more

• Completing laborious task from exercising to their job to walking at a location

• Often avoiding eye contact

• With family member

• Very close or you are too close to them from being in hallway to subway

If they are not doing anything of what I mention above them I am guessing they will like to be approached. Another point that they want to engage in a conversation is if they are:

• In a space socially accustomed for making new contacts from parties, cafes, night clubs, concerts

• happy and smile back at you if you smile at them

I want see if these are correct or show I add/remove parts in as I dont know much on how to have a conversation that leads to some sort of relationship
