what do you usually say to a person you just met?

for me, if the person i just met is a cute girl, i'll be very active. and then, i'll be very humorous. if the person is a boy, i think there are many things to talk about, football, basketball... if he isn't interested in what you talk about, then change the topic, until he show his interest. i'll talk about the man who introduce him to me, and ask how they know each other, then break the embarrassed situation. if all the former ones don't work, you can pay attention to what he is looking at, his clothes, his expression, his movement, and then make your judgement which kind man he is.

First of all I would greet him and then started to know about him by asking him questions.LOL

I just ask them to tell something about themselves and I do too. It all starts with that and when I catch anything interesting, I stick to that unless it's not something he/she would like to discuss..
