Start a conversation? Big deal!

[Polaris]

How do you start a conversation?

Do u make questons?

Do u make afirmations?

Do u say smth stupid?

[Misfit]

I start off by saying HI! Then... I think for a bit... and if something random comes to mind I say it and try to work from that.

I've come to realize that I am a sucky conversation maker. :D

[Stayin Dizzy]

Conversations really just happen. Usually heloo, what are you up to, and/or what are you doing later can lead to a good 20 minutes of conversation. Throughout that conversation people will think of things they want to say as soon as the other person finishes talking, and this goes on until either someone has to go, or until you literally run out of things to say

I don't normally start conversations :p

[Kami]

I use the usual "Sooooo.... how's it been?" line.

[Del Murder]

Same answer as cl except replace the tongue face with a period.

[Leeza]

Same answer as Del Murder except add a smily face. :)

[Yamaneko]

Hi.

[Peegee]

Just conversations? Just say hi and "how was your day". If you notice things, point them out. blah blah this is stuff you learned when you were like, four or five!

It depends on the person I'm initiating a conversation with.

Indeed. Some people will start a conversation with anyone, regardless of whether you approach them or not; some people wait to speak when spoken to. Usually, if one person's not feeling talkative, then nothing'll happen. I'm pretty reserved and don't usually start conversations, except with my friends, but when I do try to converse, I'll usually begin with something relevant to the place or circumstances we're in:

"The network's certainly running slow today...."

"Hi, how're your lectures going?"

"I really like the pancakes. What do you reckon?"

...Or something along those lines.

Make something interesting up and hope Sandy doesn't remember me.

[Polaris]

Okay , I get the point, but (and this is for the boys or girls), for example yuo are waiting for your bus and there is cute guy/girl that you never met! You are not going to say "Hey, what's up, doc?"! Or are you?

[Meat Puppet]

talk to myself

[Brian The Pink Shark]

I say something really stupid and my friends and I talk about how dumb i am:choc:

[Peegee]

"HEY WOMAN, you dropped your pen!"
"What are you staring at me for? Pick it up!"

and so forth.

[HOOTERS]

"NICE TITS"

I always feel it's best to initiate conversation with a compliment.

[Citizen Bleys]

"I can smell your spicy brains" makes a damn good icebreaker.
