Conventional wisdom suggests offering to buy a girl a drink.

Of course it will be feasible. If she's Swiss she probably only drinks Ice Tea anyway.

Join a club or get yourself membership of a gym or something.

Best of luck

Re: How to approach a swiss guy or a grl for frndship....

you've been here 5 days and have no Swiss friends.
I've been here 12 years and can count my Swiss friends on one hand. Foreign friends I have many.

What is your real question?

As far asI know, you are not legally required to drink alcohol when in a bar! Although in some countries it is frowned upon not to
