Is a guy interested if he strikes up a conversation?
So I play (flute) in a community band once a week w/~50 people..this guy who sits behind me tried talking to me a couple times last year. He made random remarks like "You're not wearing glasses today" (when i wore contacts). I totally ignored him for a long time b/c I had a serious bf then. It's been a whole year since then (I'm now single =D). I thought he wasn't interested anymore but when we made eye contact yesterday I smiled, and he approached me after rehearsal to talk. He just asked stuff like where I'm from, what college I went to, etc. Does it sound like he could still be interested?
How can one strike a conversation?
Hi AKSHIT :) As you can see, a conversation is exchange of news and ideas. Ideally, it can be anything, but it remains specific to the kind of audience or fellow participants. Now, coming to your question : How do you (or anybody) strike a conversation with anybody?Answer:Be simple and humble in your approach.Elaboration: When you start, keep in mind that people love attention. All of us want to be listened to. So, to start with, be a listener, and put them under the spotlight.While doing this: Pay attention to what they say.Unlike a debate, don't counter them.Listen to them intently, with empathy. Show interest.Radiate positive vibes: Be firm and gentle, have a positive body posture. Many a times, a negative self can just kill the entire conversation. Be open.And when you are speaker:Keep things interesting, Be a storyteller.Accept their views, and put forth yours. Let it be a give and take scene. Not purely give or take.Keep yourself updated. Whether it is about their lives, or some event occurring on this planet. Keep up with the the latest trend. Never stop learning. Never let the humor die away. Have fun.On a personal note: Don't think about the topic. Let the conversation flow like water does. When you are engrossed in calculation and topic-hunt, you will disconnect and then lose the track to talk further. Keep the person you are conversing with in mind though.

What is the best way to start a conversation?
The art of conversation may be difficult for people who are thinkers and not talkers. Many people have a certain thought process that analyzes everything first and then reacts. This causes problems with socialization (and is one reason math/engineering geeks always seem to be on the social outskirts at college). One of the best ways to overcome this mental roadblock is to take a speech class. Many community colleges offer them for very cheap even to adults who never went to college. Why attend a speech class you ask? First and foremost- it teaches you to think on your feet. Striking up a conversation is not about 'what' is the right thing to say, but just saying what is on your mind, and beginning a flow of communication between you and another person. If you can learn how to open up this channel between you and an audience, you will become very adept at opening it with another person. I took a year of speech and saw introverted guys with zero communication skills turn into talented orators- and even more talented conversationalists. That's my best advice to you. Good luck!
How do I strike up an interesting conversation with people who mean business when I have nothing that interests them, but they have something that interests me?
When I was in college, I worked as a Barista for Argo Tea on the ground floor of the Sears Tower (whatever, Willis).My shift was the 5 AM to 9 AM shift, before my 10 AM class. I'd get there around 4:45 AM, make myself a cup of coffee, and then wheel my little cart over to the elevators to go upstairs to do another tasting. Upstairs was American Airlines.In my little brown apron with my Argo Team brown shirt, and my raggy black hat, I rode up 30 stories to wheel myself to their offices. The janitor (the only person there at this hour) let me in, and I set up shop in the kitchen. I put out all my little plastic cups, setup the two jugs of coffee and flavored tea, and eventually the place started to populate with workers.One of the ladies came by multiple times, for multiple refills of coffee. We got to talking. She asked where I went to school, what I honestly thought of the tea, etc. I, being horrifically bored and extremely overtired (while at the same time cracked out on my unlimited supply of caffeine) asked her questions right back. How long had she been working there? Did she like what she did? What's your favorite part of your job?I did quite a few of these tastings, and every time I ended up having a great conversation with her. I walked away feeling like I'd learned something (and killed 20 minutes in the process) and she enjoyed having someone basically interview her with interest.I later found out that she was fairly high up the food chain at American Airlines and made more money in a single day than most people do over the course of 10 years. Did I have anything that interested her? Not really. I was a 19 year old college kid wearing a dinky little Argo Tea uniform.I did have coffee though.If you want to learn from someone in a much higher place than you, all you really need are two things:1) A true interest in who they are and what they do2) Coffee

How can I think on my feet and strike interesting conversations?
A2a...The main hindrance for people who have trouble with small talk is their notion that they have to talk. You don't have to talk. You have to encourage the other to talk.If you have trouble with that, study the person to see if they are wearing an item that sets them apart from the herd. People tend to personalise themselves - wearing a handbag, watch, scarf, necklace, that is often intended as an extension of their personality. Compliment them with their choice and ask how they came by the item. Since the choice of the item is often highly personal, you can shift away from inanities and learn something about your conversation partner at the same time.
