I've never been good at shitchats
I usually only ask something like
"Hey, how old are you?"
Which basicly means the same thing as
'I don't wanna know your name but can i bum you?'
And it works!
I go to clubs tho, not pubs
people usually don't bother making long convs their
Edit: I see Dace misinterpreted the How old are you? thingy
