start a story in mid sentence!!! hahaha no kidding!! then they'll think you're crazy and steer clear! with my job I talk to strangers everyday. you just have to ask a question with intreeg and a suttle opinion and they will talk back. the weather is good cause it's general and common ground. say something like "how 'bout this weather It would be a great day to...." usually they'll tone right in! :)

Comment on the situation you are in. Like standing in line at Wal-Mart: "They are a little slow/quick today, huh?" Or if you are at a bar, comment on something like the decor or ask what they suggest for a drink.

The old stand-by ice-breakers-
Talking about the weather, paying them a compliment on something they're wearing, the book they're reading, etc., asking what time it is. They always seem to work.

Just smile. Ask or comment on anything about a neutral topic. It shouldn't be hard from there on.

Ask for the time and then comment on how nice the watch is.

After saying something like "hi, how are you?" maybe ask where they're from, or what they do for a living (if they're an adult).
