to do. Don't feel like you have
to talk to groups of people."
"It is very important to in-
itiate conversations," Odom
added. "A lot of singles feel
there's something wrong with
them if others don't come up
to them. They think it means
they are not exciting. But
rather than waiting, approach
someone. If everybody waits,
no one will initiate?'
Approaching a stranger is
especially difficult for women,
who are taught that men
should make the first move,
Odom said. But, that tradi-
tional view is changing, and
it is now acceptable for
women to initiate conversa-
tions in social settings.
Single men suffer the op-
posite problem with shyness.
"Men are expected to make
the first move," Odom said.
"They feel very pressured to
do so. But many men have the
same problem with being shy
that women do. That's why
both men and women have to
work hard to approach each
other?"
