Who said anything about finding a lasting relationship? It's just an exercise in overcoming shyness. Even a "hello" would do it.
I'm fine making chit-chat with people I recognize. My inner critic just has a field day when it comes to talking to strangers. I imagine I'll come off as weird or inappropriate or sleazy, just from a little friendly exchange in a place where it's normal for people to chat with each other. It's totally unfounded, and it's time to get over it. Just a tiny bit of socializing like that can lift my spirits, yet I deprive myself.
