If you are on a train it's easy... just complain about the trains... any regular commuter will happily engage on a conversation on how bad the trains are!

say hi... give a sincere compliment... then ignore them...until the next time you see them... they may approach you .. :) \n\nSmile..always smile...

Ease up beside them, then start chatting about something that's going on around you.  After a short while, say something like, "By the way, I'm Gsarora," smile and stick your hand out to shake.\n\nMore likely than not, they'll say, "Hi, I'm Devans00, nice to meet you," while shaking your hand.\n\nIf not, you can lean in and say something like, "Sorry, didn't catch your name."

Odd \nYep why don't you try conversation, might work where eyeing up has failed!

You can always give a friendly hello and smile. That should tell them something. If they're shy, think of a non threatening question and start up a conversation. No one ever said who should start the talking. At least not nowadays.

start by thinking about someone other than yourself---ring up a friend and say something nice

ask them questions.........ask them to help you out in anyway........ask to help them in anyways...........ask about their hair or clothing............make up excuses to communicate with them........are you really really shy? start by simply saying "Hello" to them as they pass you by as you walk..........very casual........make yourself comfortable with saying "Hello" to them. All of them! Say "Hello" to any woman......then when you feel comfortable with this add a simple question such as "Excuse me, do you know what time it is?" or "Pardon me, where is the nearest public telephone" As you have more experiences with women you will feel more comfortable approaching and talking to women you find attractive.

To keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities, and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice. Ask simple, friendly questions about the person. \n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, etc. Jokes are also great and the internet has lots of them. \n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nI had one friend tell me recently that the way they dealt with being shy was to convince herself that talking was a competition with her own insecurities as the enemy. Thinking that way and forcing herself not to give in to her fears. It must've worked wonders because I never would've thought of her as having ever been shy.

I posted this as an answer to a somewhat similiar question about talking, starting conversations and friends. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it will help.\n\n\nTo keep the other person interested don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Becoming genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nA somewhat easy way to get a conversation started is to make a short complaint about something that you know the other person doesn't like. Generally the other person will complain too and you'll have you're conversation. You have to be Very careful not to do this often because you don't want the other person to think you're a whiner.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says!
