OK, I'll take your comment seriously...I looked at your profile and found you're living in Ireland. Are you saying your chances are decreased there? If so, I'm sorry, because the Irish people are some of the friendliest I've ever met in my travels. My guess is that, unless you're living in a big city, it's a cultural problem. Is that true? If so, here are some ideas for you....(1)...."Miss, I'm obviously from another country and another culture. Could we just talk for awhile? I'd like to get to know you and become friends. We don;t always get the opportunity to just talk with women in my country. I'm sincere about this!"

(2) "Yes, I'm from a different culture and I'm trying to get to know people here. My name is ____
what's yours?

(3) "I'm here from Morocco and would like very much to meet friends. Could we just chat for awhile?"

Make sure you use an open approach. Don't assume anything. Good luck.
