Are You a Lingerer at the Bar?

You could be a lingerer at the bar and you could end up talking very much so with these locals. Yeah, get yourself a pint and stay at the bar because this is culturally acceptable behaviour to start talking to strangers around the bar. But don't worry, you're not alone as a non-natives because I and many other locals are very aware of these people that linger or are lurking. You could just say lurking at the bar who are waiting for a conversation partner. Most of the time, most of the time you would steer clear of them,. And you do that by like the normal things like evading eye contact and you just make a beeline for the barman.
