Starting conversations can be tricky. Do one of these.. 1. Ask a question 2. Compliment the person. 3. Make a comment on something you both know about like the weather or a sports game. Remember to LISTEN to the response and ask more questions or make more comments that are consistent with the topic and the response. People love to be listened to - it shows them you value them and makes them feel good.
