What are your ways to go and talk to an unknown person?

Well, that is kind of tricky. Me personally, if I have a question or something to talk to an unknown person about, I will go up to them and talk about that. I mean I don't see how that can be difficult unless you have feelings for the person and you're nervous to talk to him or her. First off, you can start by making "small talk" and going from there. I mean your best bet is to just talk to the person; work up the nerve to do so. If you're shy, then you just have to do it if you really want that person in your life or something. I am assuming you're referring to a person you like; in that case, it is better you just go up to them and talk. If it is just a regular person, same thing, go up and ask them a question or something you know. If you're shy, by practicing speaking to people, you'll be able to get over your shyness pretty fast. Good luck and I hope you work up the nerve to speak to people you don't know.

Well thank u for posting this interesting discussion. It is always normal when people feel strange to strike a conversation with an unknown person as they feel if the conversation will be successful or not. But in my case, if there is a need to strike a conversation with a stranger then i never feel it difficult to approach that person as if i do not do it, then it will affect my intentions of getting the work done. What say?

Everything should start with a SMILE :) The moment that person sees my smile, it's a go signal I'm initiating a conversation. It is said that a SMILE is soundless but it's meaning is accurate. haha :) I have always been a Ms. Congeniality so talking with strangers regardless of gender,age or profession was something basic for me and I'm loving it. Just make yourself comfortable and let that person feel comfortable with you too. You'd end the talk fine and you will surely be remembered :D
