I'm far from a natural so I tend to make light of most situations if starting a conversation with someone that I have just met.
It also helps me if the surroundings are familiar as well.
I pick out something quirky around us and start from there.
But if the subject matter,well,if it is of high interest to me then I can waffle on for ages and be a bore.
