How do you start off a conversation with a new friend?

The women´s subtle classic: "Are you single?"

I don't. I wait for people to approach me and be the first to start a conversation.

"Ya like jazz???"

Ask them if they enjoy Rumi. If they don't know who that is then we probably don't have much in common

Strange that people ask this question often. It's just a friend. It's like your trying to date him/her.
