CULTURE HACKS: SPRING SOCIAL

After the brutality that winter wreaks on our social lives, some of us emerge from hibernation feeling a little…uh…rusty.  Here’s 5 tricks we follow to get us back into tiptop shape. Or at least feeling somewhat human again.

ICE BREAKERS: Hi. I’m _________. A simple “Hello”  (and maybe a relevant follow-up question like “how do you know the bride” or “have you tried Kevin’s BBQ yet?”) is really all it takes.

SIGNATURE DRINK: Do you really need a spring water ice-cube and a sprig of fresh thyme imported from Greece? Ermmm, you’re holding the party up. Keep it simple, stud.

WINGMAN: We get it, you want a little back up. But beware the wingman relationship that holds you back. Sometimes striking out on your own is where the real adventure is.

EATING IN PUBLIC: Nobody cares if you know which fork to use, but if you’re at an event nice enough to wear closed-toe shoes, you may as well use those manners your mama taught you.

DANCE MOVES: Look, you do you. All we’re saying is, if you is a dancer who needs A LOT OF physical space to get down, try not to poke anyone’s eyeballs out.

Now get out into the world and enjoy!
