What are your tricks to start a conversation with a stranger?

When meeting someone for the first time ask them what they like to do, instead of what they do. it will get them excited and spark a conversation.

Be interested: Ask questions that couldn’t be answered in a single word. For example: “What is it like to live there?”, “What do you like about a particular place/actor/book?” etc.

Show excitement: Avoid awkward silences, add up excitement in conversation, show curiosity about knowing their experiences and lessons.

Find hidden passion: Ask little bit personal questions like “What kind of sites do you visit?”, “What cheers you up?” or “How do you celebrate your birthday?”

Crack jokes: Use your sense of humor as your strength to make them laugh.
