I try to use a sense of humor. This has helped me in some very ticklish situation. Just find something amusing about the situation and use it. It is always a good ice breaker.

I do not usually talk to strangers, but when example, I am in a gathering and my space is limited and a number of strangers are mingling, I make an effort to make friends by trying to observe the person. And if the person has a welcoming aura, that would be my clue that I can make friends with him, and I would ask questions just to break the ice.

It is hard to me, I don't like to talk with strangers, and I cann't find the common topic to him or her. So I like to sit quietly and listen to others' talking. So I think I should attend the responses of this discussion.

I also use to talk on any general and hot issue of politics to know about their simple and wise thought about politicians and political issues.

though i have lots of friends, when u mention this topic, i still dont know how to answer. most of the time, people will ask me questions first, then we'll start long conversation. i guess it depends on people. if u are an easy going person, everyone likes to talk to u. and then we should continue topics related to the situation at that time around

I don't talk to strangers. Even when there is only two person in a room and we have to be there for a long time, I wouldn't start to make a conversation if I don't need to. The only place where I start a conversation with the other people are here in the internet, and I think it is more than enough for me to make a new relation with another people. Don't talk to stranger, my mother said... because it is dangerous.

Well, I think I'm quite easy-going actually. I start with a Hi, then we'll chat about our ages and birthdays before going onto make friends.

The best way to talk to a stranger is to go up to them and say hello my name is______ and i would like to get to know your better. Here a some subjects you can talk about hobby's, news, sports, T.V., weather, places to eat, movies, ect. The hard part is just going up to the stranger and say hi after that it's easy. Hope this helps.
