Can you easily strike up a conversation in person with a stranger?

I am often the one people strike up a conversation with and I always respond as long as it's not a sketchy-looking person talking to me, by that I mean someone that looks creepy😬

I've been known to. Depends on the situation and how willing the other person is.

Yes as long as there's an easy way to begin like an incident we've both seen and been surprised at or an accidental touch as one of us sits down and an apology is called for. Once my mouth is opened I can easily begin conversation when traveling on public transport or waiting in a queue (line). Obviously it takes two or more to have a conversation, but if the other party reciprocates, I'll keep going.

Sometimes sure but I don’t like to keep it going for more than a few minutes

Surprisingly I can. As long as I'm not attracted to them.

I'm proud of myself, 21 yr old me could never.

Yes. I do it quite often.

Here yes, out there not a chance. 🤣

Yes... but it depends on the situation, the time of day (or night), my mood, the surrounding circumstances, the attitude of the stranger, the general vibes, and the calculated risk-to-reward ratio.

Sometimes yes.

Yep

try driving rideshare! did that 6 to 10 times a night for a bit. had a lot of good ones too.

No, but I am always friendly if someone speaks to me first.

Yes. IF I choose to. Most times I don't choose.

Yeah happens all the time up north lol

Friendly bunch up here. 😊

No. Because I dont trust people.

Nope

Never

I can, yah. Tis pretty easy. Most of the time I'm a quiet dude, however, and mind my own business.

Not easily. And I’m told I don’t look particularly friendly, but I’m generally not rude if someone else initiates a conversation.

No

Quite often, yes. Sometimes, no since I don't like where the conversation is headed.
