Honestly, I'm part of the problem. I get so nervous when people talk to me in bars. I'm honestly not trying to snub people. There have been creeps, of course, but mostly people are really nice and I'm super awkward and get all flustered. But then I always wonder how to make new friends as an adult.

I feel like I have the opposite question: How do you respond to people socializing with you in bars? I feel like some people want to strike up conversations and some people want to be talked to, but they can't seem to find each other.
