Earlier this week my wife and I went to the store, and at one point I had to stand in a short line. One lady was placing her order, and a man I had never seen before was in front of me waiting. I noticed his t-shirt was about the hot rod club. So out of the blue, I asked him what type of hot rod he has. He smiled, and said he has several an listed some nice toys. I asked a few questions, and it was his turn to order. We said a few more words while he waited for his order. I could have stood there in silence. But instead I had time to talk to a nice guy about cars.

I placed my order, and walked towards the door with my order to go. He waved to me as I walked past. My wife immediately asked who he was. I said I had no idea, just a guy that loves cars. She shook her head in amazement that I can talk to anyone.

Last month was Porsche Parade. A couple thousands Porsche lovers all together. My wife did not attend, and instead I brought my brother. He is almost as shy as I am. He chatted to many total strangers, as I was the only person there that he knew. He had a great time. I guess we both learned that going to a new school every year.

Not too long ago I went with my wife to her high school reunion and I will not mention how many decades. I only knew one other person there besides my wife.

I talked to 100% total strangers all evening. I did not spend more than a few minutes alone. I had a fun evening.

How about you? Can you just strike up a conversation with a total stranger wherever you are in public.
