How to start a conversation with someone?

Answer 1

Try making a positive observation or giving a compliment. Then follow up with a question. When you show admiration and interest, you'll get their attention. Listening to what they say (without thinking about what you are going to say next) shows respect and consideration. Continue with positive observationsand/or compliments. This makes people feel important.
The main point is, make it all about other people. Don't hide behind anxiety and fear of how you'll look. That will only cause you to feel introverted, and your behavior will be mistaken for unfriendly, aloof, or stuck-up.
When you give to others what you want from them, it will come back to you. There will come a point to where you have made them feel good around you, and they wil want to get to know more about you, and the tables will turn.
There are many other things to talk about besides money and jobs. If that's what you are comfortable with, then you could bring it upp by asking them about their job, what they want to be 'when they grow up'. how they like it, what they did in the past, etc.
Just remember that everyone is 'right' in their own mind, and everyone has their own views. Be careful to avoid stepping on toes, stating your opinion as fact, and being condescending to others. The reason why some people don't like to talk about money and jobs, is that when you focus on those things, they start to get the idea that you are shallow, materialistic, and have status anxiety. People sometimes feel judged, or ashamed to admit to their work if you have just talked negatively about a particular field. And sometimes people feel condescended to if you start talking about how much money you make.
Just make it about them, and let the conversation go wherever it goes.

Answer 2

Said "hi" to them, how they doing... like a regular conversation when you talk to someone you know when you first meet them on the day (any day). You have to add your name in somewhere during,or at the end of your conversation with them. And of course "see you later" too. That might work, I think, because that how I start a conversation to someone.

Answer 3

Start by complimenting the person about something, say the top the person is wearing. Ask where he/she got it and then, tell the person that he/she has great taste and ask if he/she got it from his/her mother or father. Then, ask about their family. If they have a dead family member, show compassion and change the topic maybe to the persons interests or talk about politics or something related to the person's job.. On the other hand, if there's nothing on the person worth complementing, talk about the place wher you are for starters...

Answer 4

start with a simple hello?
talk about new films or get involved in a conversation that has already started you may find that easier. be yourself. money and jobs is probably not the best topics to start up with.

Answer 5

It depends on the situation - if you are at an event - start off with "what do you think about this event" or look at the person and notice an item of clothing, or talk about how sunny it is today.

It's pretty easy if you do it often enough

Answer 6

A sensible good day or Hi! is a fine dialog starter,additionally ask how their day went or how it's going and do such as you fairly imply it! I suppose while your honest you get plenty extra with a talk.

Answer 7

When you talk abouy money or jobs, are you asking what they do and make? Or is it in general?
What are you looking to do.? What kindof money do you want to make?

Answer 9

Try to get him/her to talk about themselves, do not go on about your own interests unless they ask.
