How to start conversation with new friends :

1. Introduce yourself if you’ve never met the person before.

 For example, you may say, “Hi, my name is John. It’s nice to meet you.”
 You don’t need to introduce yourself if you just want to have a casual conversation, but
it will help make people more receptive to you.

2. Say something positive to invite others to join the conversation.

 For example, if you’re at a party, you may say, “This music is really cool! Do you like it?”
or, “Have you tried the food yet? It’s really delicious.” Ending with a question
encourages the other person to respond and start a conversation.
 If the other person is shy or insecure, taking the lead and opening yourself up to them
can help put them at ease.

3. Give a compliment to the person to ease into talking with each other.
 You may say something like, “That dress looks really nice. Where did you get it?” or,
“You have a good sense of style. How do you find outfits to wear?”
 Use open-ended questions as much as you can so the conversation doesn’t end with
“yes” or “no.”
 Avoid bringing up someone’s appearance since it could make them uncomfortable and
they may not respond well to it.

4. Mention your surroundings to start a conversation if you can’t think of anything else.
 For example, you may say, “This is my first time at this cafe. Have you tried anything
here?” or, “I wish the sun would come out today. When’s the last time it wasn’t cloudy.”
 Have a sense of humor when you’re having your conversation. It will make others feel
engaged and make your chat more enjoyable.

5. Finding topics to talk about

 Ask the person what they do for work or school so you can relate to them.
 Talk about hobbies that you both enjoy to learn more about the person.
 Discuss movies, TV shows, or books if you want to talk about pop culture.
 So on.
