Try starting a whatsapp or telegram group chat with your friends. Quite useful for questions like "Anyone wanna go grab a beer and Döner?".


Or just try to approach the groups in the lobby or the beergarden. Simple things like "I see you're drawing, may I join in?" or "I like your music, mind if I sit with you?" are usually enough to break the ice.

Fineas:
Or make an offering of beer.
You don't have to come up with a clever friendly pick up line and just ask the near universal question :-3

Chiro:
Thanks everyone for all the advices. And thank you to few who sent PM also writing about their own experiences and feelings about this. At least I'm not alone with this problem, which is always kinda relieving to know.

What comes to beergarden and such, problem is that I'm not so much drinker. I know it would make things easier... I'm far, far to shy to just to sit to same table with people I don't know. It is almost annoying to see how easily some people get to know new people during one evening or so. For me it'd take a month to get to same level.

But Games Corner sounded like something I could try. Maybe I'd get to talk about something else than games too. It would be just nice to share time and thoughts with someone.

Thanks again!

Or maybe you can before the con starts, see if people want to meet you at the con. Like asking, who would like to meet you? I also met some people, I just knew from facebook. (Ok some I just tried to meet, because of being really busy.) There are surely some people, who would like meet new people. ^^

If you are an artist, you can sit in the lobby and draw, some people may talk to you.
Hmm I think generally showing what your interest are could maybe help get other people to talk to you, when they share the same interest.
