Maybe you are taking the whole thing too seriously. Figuratively speaking, don't approach head first, try to slide in sideways. If you were doing a research project you would just start talking to the people you wanted to interview.
Not all of them will be interested. NEXT!
I'm order to be attractive to them you need to have a casual, fun vibe. Don't worry about the outcome. Just talk to them. Once you establish that she seems interested you will relax.
Try to avoid too many interview questions. Since you are new in the area you might have a funny, embarrassing story that you can use as an ice breaker. Maybe you forgot to get off the bus and ended up in a bad area, for example.
In other words: show up, approach, DHV.
