My life is so routinual (same cycle everyday). I want to have a different perspective or different approach not the same old doings everyday. I'm tired of it. Can you give some tips on how to start a conversation to someone your not close with or you've just met. Please and Thank you

I think it depends where you meet the people that you would like to talk to. For instanse if you meet them in a classroom you could talk about the subjects that you are studying ("What other subjects do you study? Have you studied this subject before? Where are you from?" etc) When I meet new people I usually try to talk about one of the things that we have in common, and I try to ask questions to the person that I would like to get to know better. If I am new at a place and the other person has been there for a while, I sometimes ask for advice. ("Do you know how to do this or that? Do you know a good place to eat or a good place to shop?" etc) and that is another way to start a conversation.
