"How much does your hair cost?" Was one of the funniest conversation starters I had. The girl I was talking to had a barcode sticker in her hair. š¤£

I always start with a joke. If the person doesn't understand my humor or gets offended somehow, I'll get a good idea if we may or may not get along.

Depends on the person / setting but I like to get to humor as quick as I can as itās a good indicator if Iām gonna really like the person or not.

A joke always loosens up the mood and gives the conversation a starting point way more interesting then weather or etc.

I have found music to be a topic that you can talk to almost anybody about,you get someone talking to them about music they like you have an instant connection.

Enter in an elevator in a public place, one that takes enough time, busy but not overcrowded. As soon as the doors close, break the silence with "I guess you will be wondering why I have asked you all to gather here today" and go back to mysterious silence.

I find that a joke is the best way to get people to open up, then I usually as an open ended question, followed by a compliment. I break the tension, find out what type of person they most likely are and compliment the kind of person they are. This helps you give more authentic compliments instead of always focusing on looks alone. My jokes usually involve something in the environment so I say a complex mix of all of them, at least in the conversations that go good. When I try too hard to impress I usually compliment or try to start a deep conversation, the compliments usually are a dead end because most people donāt say too much back (Iām not expecting a compliment they just say thank you). So I only give truly genuine compliments that I feel like saying, and a lot of people just arenāt in the mood for deep talks unless I get them to open up first.

I dont start conversations. I do exactly what I left the house for then I go back to the house. Or if I'm out I go somewhere that I can be all alone without seeing anyone.

From now on it's going to be, "what's your go-to for striking up conversation, is it serving a compliment, start with a joke, talk about the weather or give an observation on your surroundings?"
