A conversation that is awesome and will work on anyone.

Talking to people you don't know can be difficult, but it's virtually the only way to make human friends. So I've decided to make it easier on everyone. I've got here the perfect conversation to make anyone your best friend. Memorize it, and you'll never be lonely again.

YOU: I'm really good at conversations. Do you want to have one with me?

(Forget about all that "Hi! My name is whatever. How are you?" junk. Anyone can say that. Skip right to the point. We're living in a normally paced world with a couple of people who think they are really busy. You'll have no idea who these people are until you start talking to them , so it's safest just to jump right in. Plus this is a unique and honest opener, that lets people know you are confident in your talking skills.)

OTHER PERSON: Yeah!

YOU: There's a cat eating a fish stick over there. I thought it was a carrot, but when I got closer I realized it was a fish stick.

(This tells the listener a couple of things. You're observant, you have moderately good eyesight, and you like cats and notice them wherever you are. Because you're observant.)

OTHER PERSON: Wow! Cool!

YOU: I really like cats. I write blogs.

(This is really important. You're letting your future friend know that you have a lot of free time for them. )

OTHER PERSON: Yeah! Who doesn't like cats? Blogs! OMG, awesome! You are totally awesome!

YOU: I like your shoes/feet.

(When someone compliments you, you should compliment them back immediately. It's hard to think of nice things to say on the spot like that, so you should just tell everyone that you like their shoes. If they're not wearing shoes, tell them you like their feet. Chances are if they're not wearing shoes, they are really proud of their feet's appearance, so that's sure to get you on their good side.)

OTHER PERSON: I like your shoes/feet!

YOU: Ok, bye!

(You're going to see a lot of this. People are just going to return your compliment fire. It's best to put a stop this before it gets out of control. They may have started it, but it's up to you to finish it.)

Now you've made a friend. Next time you see them, see if they want to watch some cute cat videos on youtube with you.
