I don't know how you feel about starting a conversation with a stranger. Some people feel a bit awkward. So I decided to collect some good questions and tips that can help you out in those uncomfortable situations.
Hi.
- Do you know
anyone here?
- Where do you
work?
- Which business
are you into?
- How long have
you known 'Peter'?
- What drink would
you recommend me? / Can I help you to choose a drink?
Ask people about the things they
want to be noticed by other people, for example a rose in a woman’s hair. ‘What
a nice rose. Do you always wear hair like this?’
If you go to a business meeting,
you can start the conversation by talking about the circumstances of your
travel. There is almost always something happening on the roads. It’s easier if
you are some minutes late. ‘Sorry for being late. The traffic was terrible
because of slippery roads.'
Do you have any other ideas in your
mind?
