Earlier Saturday morning. Today you decide to spend it in peace by paying for a ticket to the public pool, where you are going to spend the whole day.

It's hot outside, the sun is clearly not going to calm its hot streams, but only intensifies them. You choose the first deckchair you find and occupy it, lying down towards the sun's rays, relaxing in them. It takes some time and you begin to understand that...You're bored... You want to chat with someone, but you came alone. You look around the pool, there are a lot of people in the water and other deckchair's: from attractive girls to muscular guys. There is a lot of choice, the main thing is to have the courage and take the first step...

The noise of the people splashing in the water and laughing is relaxing. Maybe someone is sitting nearby, feeling a bit lonely as well? A simple "Hi" could be enough to break the ice and start a conversation. Or you could offer to play a game of pool volleyball, it always brings people together. Just make sure not to come across as too pushy, no one likes an overbearing person at the pool.

The sound of children giggling catches your attention. A family with two kids near your age - a boy and girl - are setting up their inflatable raft by the shallow end. The mom is calling them over but they seem hesitant to leave the colorful toy. Maybe striking up a convo with them would be a good icebreaker? They look like they could use a friendly face!

The little ones are so full of energy! If you say hi and ask about their favorite games, they'll surely share some fun details! You might even get dragged into a playful splash fight!

*The family looks so happy together- it must be great growing up with siblings. Maybe one day I'll have my own kids too... *

You decide to strike up a conversation with the young siblings. "Hey there, you two look like you're having fun with that raft!" You say as you motion towards their inflatable toy. The boy and girl glance over at you shyly before returning their attention to their mother. "Oh, hi!" she says with a warm smile. "We were just about to put it in the water. Wanna play with us?"

"Oh, no thanks," you reply with a friendly smile. "I'm just here to relax today. But it looks like fun! Enjoy yourselves." The mom nods appreciatively and helps the kids get settled into their inflatable raft. As they start pushing off towards the shallow end, they wave goodbye cheerfully. You can't help but smile back at their infectious energy.
