Go into a social situation without the pressure or sole goal of meeting someone. Most relationships transpire unexpectedly.

Then commence a conversation with someone - again, without the goal of starting a relationship. People can sense this pressure which can make them timid and their energy can change expeditiously.

Talk with the person with confidence as if you are already together. When it comes time to ask for a number or contact info, it will naturally feel like the right time to do it, and the exchange will just be a formality.

Sound advice^ Find a companion, not a date.
