There is a bit of a dilemma about meeting people in "unstable" or un-used-to social situations, because it can screw with Fe role and a sense of what is appropriate protocol in a situation, so it can lead to an over sense of formality. So situations where it is acceptable to 'fraternize' without making the subject feel uncomfortable seems to be what works best.
I've struck up many conversations with people online or in person, but it's more a matter how comfortable I feel and how confident I am about knowing i'm not bothering someone in a Fi sense - I think the easiest way for that in terms of a Fi seeking person is just give them a sense that you are available or receptive or that it s "ok for them to talk to you" etc.
Many EIIs talk about the loads of softballs or easy opportunities or hints that they've dropped in this way - and that helps, sometimes delta STs or Te types are too dense to get it, especially if they aren't confident about what they want out of a relationship or themselves. That's really what it comes down to.
Asking for help or advice is kind of a real easy way to engage dialogue, for sure![]()
