It depends where you are at. Try to talk about something related to where you are. Obviously, if you are both there, you both have THAT same interest in some way. If you are in a sports bar, for instance, start talking about one of the games that is on, or if you hear them order a wierd type of drink, ask them about that. Then, just add your side of the conversation whether they ask or not. It will be easy to tell really quickly if they want to talk or not.

I sometimes make fun of the situation I am in, like if you are in the grocery store waiting for meat to be cut, or something to be packaged, I usually joke about it. Making someone smile right off the bad makes them feel comfortable and it takes the anxieties away.

Try to find someone else that is alone or not talking to the people they are around. Usually, people are just waiting to be talked to. They didn't go somewhere to be bored out of their minds.
