Starting a successful conversation is an art that is not hard to learn. Like most things in life conversations usually follow a pattern or formula. These tips for making conversation with strangers were meant for you and everyone that wants a little help to get the ball rolling:
1. Smile. Everyone is more engaging when they appear friendly and open.
2. Make eye contact.
3. Introduce yourself. A conversation is more likely to start and continue when names are exchanged.
4. Pick a relevant topic. It might sound cliche, but it’s always good to bring up the weather.
5. Share some details. Tell the other person a little about yourself.
