I find myself in this very situation all the time.

It's so easy to meet a new pal in Kindergarten. Just walk up to a kid, start bonding over a game or some toy and... voila! You've got a new best friend for months, maybe years! But it seems adults lose so much capacity to make friends unless they're in some environment tailor made for socializing. Kinda sad.

exactly! especially if you live in a city where everybody is keeping their heads down and minding their own business....I don't usually mind that, cause I'm pretty shy, but sometimes I just see really interesting people i want to talk to, but don't know how to approach

When you are shy that's not easy to do. Especially as you usually don't have a lot of time to think about what to say. Like it already has been said here you probably should just start a conversation about the things you have in common and hope that the person reacts in a nice way which is likely what will happen.

you just go up to her and say "ohmigod" (in your valley girl voice) "those are, like, my favorite shows!" And then you ask her something really specific about one of them that will engage her for hours if she's a true fan
I don't know if you'd get coffee out of it, but it might add a spark to your day!

Actually being spontaneous I learned is the way to go. And let it flow naturally. I always think like what's the worst that can happen? If you're sincere about it it will go fine 9 out of 10.

I wasn't able to do that before, but one time I tried and now I'm confident enough.

Oh wow so you even talked to her. Too bad she had headphones on, otherwise it would have been easier to continue talking.

well technically she talked to me all I did was smile

I'm so lame

This is a tough one because when I'm in public I generally don't want people I don't know to talk to me.

I'll go out of my way to avoid it, in fact.

I'll remember that if I ever see you on the bus.

But I wouldn't call you a complete stranger. We already have a context for conversation.

It is honestly generally quite painful for me to try to make conversation with people I don't know. I really don't like it.
