How to talk to strangers

The best way to talk with someone you've just met, or to talk about someone you don't know, is to try to move from one topic to another, and if one doesn't work, try the next. Or when it's your turn to speak you can talk about things you've done or thought about, fixing up the garden, planning a trip or other topics we've talked about. Don't panic about a moment of silence, just let it pass. Talking is not a race to the finish line.

When you realize you're sitting next to a stranger at a party, introduce yourself before you start "fishing". Then there are all sorts of ways to start. If you're a shy person, think about it in your head before you go to the party. If the hostess has already told you something about him, you can say, "I understand your team won the final last week. It must have been wonderful." If you don't know anything about him, you can say, "Do you live in Homeville or are you a tourist?" From his answer you can expect to start a conversation. He may ask where you live, what you do for a living, and so on. Very simple, but be careful to give him a chance to talk.

Another important opener (and immediate) is to ask for advice. For example, you might ask an enthusiastic gardener, "I'd like to change the annuals in my garden to perennials; what would you suggest?" Or for someone who works from home or in an office, you might ask, "I want to buy a fax machine. Do you have any good recommendations?" If there is no response, ask for the person's point of view. It's a safe bet to ask his or her opinion about anything: politics, sports, the stock market, fashion, and local news, all of it, but not topics that have already been asked about and to which the response is to vehemently disagree or cause controversy.
