What is your favorite generic way to open up a conversation?
Make a simple observational remark of your common surroundings as a way of commonality between the two of you. Transition into a broad topic and start conversing!
What's the best opening line to start a conversation with stranger without getting taken as being a stalker?
Honestly there is no sure way or an opening line that will definitely not get you taken as a stalker. Unless by “stranger” you mean, you just don’t directly know each other but you know he’s a neighbor or someone from your village, or someone from your school, then your chances might be better. But if you’re a total a stranger and you know nothing about each other aside from how each of you look, then the chances of you being a stalker is really high, that’s why you’re called a “stranger”, it’ll be really strange if you suddenly talk to someone you don’t know. But the best thing you can do increase your chances is improve on how you look. If the person you want to talk to really know nothing about you, he/she will see what her stalker-meter says about you based on your looks. So wear nice clothes and have nice smile. Next thing you can do is start the conversation. If it’s his/her looks that got your attention, then you can try being polite and tell her about it “Hi, I’m sorry, but this might seem awkward, but I just can’t help but notice you because of you’re beautiful/handsome. I was hoping we could get to know each other better.” Or something like that. But if you really just want to talk to a stranger for no apparent reason, then best opening line you have is by investigating the situation. What do I mean? If the stranger is currently engaged in a certain activity at that moment, talk to them about that, for example if he/she is reading a newspaper, talk about the the articles in the paper. :) Do not go with anything random, because random is usually the partner of stalkers.
What is your favorite ice breaker to get a conversation started?
Years ago my wife and I attended a formal dinner for a non-profit organization.They obviously didn’t screen their guests well.This was during the era of my life when I decided being poor would be exciting. So I pastored a church.We sat at white linen covered tables waiting for dinner to be served. I turned to the young man sitting next to me who was about my age.I introduced myself and asked his name.Then I said, “So Rick, what do you do for a living?”I know, pretty original, huh?He responded, “I’m a stock broker. I work mostly with high net worth clients.”He proceeded to tell me all about what he did. In excruciating detail. Which I found absolutely enthralling.Then he asked, “So Doug, what do you do for a living.”I responded, “I pastor a church.”I kid you not, he literally said, “Oh.”Then turned his back to me and started talking to the man next to him on the other side.We never spoke again. Ever.I guess I didn’t meet his client criteria.Since then, I’ve discovered a much more enjoyable question.I ask, “What do you most love to do when you’re not working?”Then I listen. I may comment or ask further questions. But I mostly just focus on them.I’ve discovered two things.First, people love to talk about what they love to do. And they infrequently get the chance.So they’re thrilled. And they think you’re personable.Second, I enjoy getting to know the real person. And frankly I find their passions interesting.I look back on that incident and laugh. I might be able to buy Rick out today.Frankly I don’t care.But you just never know how someone will end up do you?
How can I initiate conversation with female strangers without putting them off and what places are the appropriate ones for doing that?
My favorite place to strike up a conversation with an interesting man is always in the tool or automotive section of a store and I just say pardon me but could you help me find such and such or what do you recommend using and then I explain the project I am attempting. In your case the safest and best place is the grocery, you need help locating something or maybe you are attempting to learn to cook, just ask and you are on your way!!! Ask for her favorite simple recipe. ……Places to avoid: clothing department, ( she will think you are shopping for someone else) The perfume counter (same reason). and please stay away from any lingerie dept. (for all obvious reasons). The grocery is great, and the appliance dept. Anything neutral, the paint dept. or the music or movie department. Always ask for help or opinions, remember never ask a question than can be answered with a yes or a no answer!!!! You will be fine!!!!
Are you open for conversations?
I am quite open for any messages… I try my best to reply back to them also,I actually kind of love messages because they give me something to do if I am bored or need to relieve stress for a while (what's better than a companion)?
What's a good opener to talk to strangers?
You do not have to do anything fancy, most people will respond to “Hi how are you?” Or you can ask there opinion on something you could say something like “who do you think lies more men or women?” People love sharing there opinions about things.
Good Conversation Starters? PLEASE ANSWER AND I'LL ANSWER YOURS.?
i'm a 14 year old girl, and im flattered when any boy talks to me, just don't show that your nervous, its a big turn off. girls like boys who stand out of crowds and do make an effort to talk! just talk to a couple of them until you find one is having a flowing conversation with you, if they talk to you then their interested. just see what happens and what there like, i like it when boys ask how my days been or what ive been up to cs then i can i ask them the same and it usually goes from there! hope i helped xx
