Small Talk With Strangers: Ice Breakers for
Chatting With New People
Small talk changes slightly when you're with strangers as
opposed to people at a business function or party. Strangers,in this case, refers to people you don't know who you seeout and about somewhere in the course of your daily
routine. Since you don't know a thing about them, choose
general subjects that allow anyone to comment on.
What's the benefit to chatting with strangers? It gives youpractice for those times in life (like first dates or importantbusiness functions) where you'll need to make a really greatimpression. If you're used to talking with people on aroutine basis, you won't be tripped up when you're nervous.
Also, as Will Rogers once said, "A stranger is just a friend I
haven't met yet." You never know how friendships willdevelop, so it's a good idea to be prepared to make the mostof any opportunity.

Asking where to eat will generally prompt someone to give
you the scoop on their favorite places, which usually comes
attached with more personal information, such as theparties they planned there, the fact that they go there every
year for a special event, or why they like the atmosphere.
They might recommend a restaurant and then add, "We gothere all the time!" or "We just took my aunt there last
week and she loved it." You can ask them more questions
based on what they say, and this will help you continue theconversation.

Which of the 4 topics listed would you prefer? Why?

Here are some ice breakers that work well with strangers.
Comment on Something in the News
Avoid topics like politics, sex, or religion, as those topics
are more suited for conversation between friends. Instead,bring up a popular subject that has been getting a lot ofplay in the news. It's a good idea to read the paper or goonline to check out the latest newsworthy topics before you
leave the house so you're prepared with something to say.
Compliment an Accessory Item
Another tactic to open up small talk is to compliment theaccessories someone is wearing: jewelry, glasses, purse,
shoes, watch, tie, cuff links, pins, etc. Avoid making acomment about someone's clothing as it can come off as if
you're acting weird or hitting on him or her. Making a
genuine comment about an accessory is much more
acceptable.
Ask About Their Phone
Everyone seems to have a cell phone, computer, or othergadget on hand these days, so ask someone if they areusing an iPhone or Bluetooth headset and how they like it.
They're likely to tell you if they would buy the same thing
again or give you the name of another version they canrecommend instead. People enjoy talking about theirgadgets, so it won't be difficult to get them to open up.
Restaurant Recommendations
Ask someone if they can suggest a good restaurant forlunch or dinner. Say something like, "I'm taking my friend
to lunch for her birthday tomorrow. Do you know a goodplace?" Or, "We need to find a fun but reasonably priced
place to take my mom out for her birthday. Do you have asuggestion?"
