When talking to a couple

[KingGheedora]

I just noticed this yesterday. I was at a bar with friends and a couple who know one of my friends was there. The girl started asking me the usual getting-to-know-you,-stranger questions, and I would answer while looking at her, but then the dude would chime in too. So then I got confused and when I was asking questions back, I was looking in between them so as not to discriminate between the two.

My theory is that I was only interested in what the girl had to say but I had to cover that up by treating them as a single being. It was weird.

You'd suck at MFM

You divert all of your attention to whom it is that is talking to you, especially if it's a woman.

If you are doing the talking - then do timesharing between the listeners as not to discriminate. Eye contact with each individual is key.

Simple. Talk to the the one you'd most like to bone...

Depends on the topic I guess, but I try to give individuals individual attention.
