Definitely being yourself is best. But you do have to get yourself noticed before you get a chance. I've had some really good conversations with people in a queue because I smiled at them and said hi. Sometimes that's all it takes, be prepared to engage someone in conversation first and then once you have their attention the world is your oyster. Just be prepared that some people won't want to talk back and that's nothing against you.

one of my friends had an LDR and they had a separate skype accounts that automatically answered incoming calls with video so whenever they wanted to they could see each other. it sounds kinda like a big commiitment to me but it worked for them dated 6 years LDR and then married.
