Recently, I came across an interesting topic online where Scottie Barnes, a player for the Toronto Raptors, shared his insights on finding a girlfriend. Honestly, as someone who is often teased by friends for being a "homebody," I found his advice quite enlightening.
Barnes mentioned during a live stream that the first step to finding a girlfriend is to go out more. This sounds simple, but upon reflection, it really makes sense. As he put it, "You say you need a girlfriend, but you never go out." Isn't this the reality for many single friends? I often find myself in the same situation, preferring to binge-watch shows at home rather than going out on weekends, which results in a shrinking social circle and fewer opportunities to meet new people.
Barnes specifically highlighted the mall as a great place to meet people. He suggested that if you see someone you like at the mall, go ahead and ask for their phone number without being shy. This reminded me of a comment I saw from a netizen who said, "The mall is indeed a great place, with a large flow of people and everyone in a relaxed state, which increases the chances of a successful approach." I think this perspective is quite reasonable.
However, when it comes to approaching someone, many might feel awkward or fear rejection. Barnes' advice is to be confident and keep it simple. This reminded me of another netizen's sharing, who said, "Actually, approaching someone isn't that scary. The key is to be natural. Don't start by asking for a phone number; you can start by chatting about the weather or an event at the mall, and take it slow." I find this advice quite practical.
Of course, besides the mall, there are many other places to meet new people, such as gyms, cafes, or even parks. The key is to go out more and interact with different people. As Barnes said, "Dude, go out more." This simple statement is truly insightful.
In summary, I think Barnes" advice is quite down-to-earth. Finding a girlfriend isn't a difficult task; the key is to take action and not always stay at home. Go out more, interact with different people, and opportunities will naturally arise. I hope these suggestions are helpful to everyone, and I wish everyone can find their ideal partner.
