Yeah, i searched.
I've met people that ask your age first and then name etc.

I ask:

1)name
2)music taste
3)where they are from

oh and do you ask like..casually or try to find a different way: funny, weird etc...

I've met a lot o people that have lots of different ways...i think it depends on the personality.

What about you?










This is going to be closed =S

1-what's your name?
2-how are you?
3-where are you from?.
4- what'S your favourite band?
i guess...these ones..but we can make more it..

After I have asked for the name I ask for His/her's music taste.

Name, if i met online nationality, then music taste and age

asl

^^same here!

^

I only add GD fans om my MSN so I don't meed to ask about what bands they like.

how do you know they are GD fans before asking them?

It stands for 'Age, sex and location.'

age sex location

i was only kidding.

i'd normally just say hi and get shy and not open my mouth again

Are you single ?

Who? Me? if so yes

oh thanks

I try to shove my personality onto people when I first meet them.
I just try to be more creative than "what's up" or something.

1) Name.

2) How are you?

3) Where are you from?

And depends where we are as to if we ask them if they're having a good time.

Will you please leave me alone?

try to more creative..idk...how can ppl say more creative thing when they meet a person first...what we did or say is always cliché...i think like that..isn't it true?

^^you're right... actually i use 'what's up' a lot

There isn't much more creative than "what's up".It would sound pretty pathetic if someone met someone and the first thing they said was"What music do you listen to?" It doesn't sound right.What's up is good greeting I think.

I'm pretty shitty when first meeting someone, i say ''What's up'' and then i get shy and say no more XD

usually "is that your drink? 'cos if not, I'm shifting it."

or usually about something that is going on at the time, if they've seen someone I'm looking for, etc...depends entirely on where I am.

Age and name I guess. XD

It depends on the situation... could be name, could be "what's up?" "how are you?" "what time is it?" "do you know how much this costs?" etc. I do not generally just start asking people small talk-ish questions if I see them.

After salutations, usually "what sort of music do you like?" A little music chatter and then "I'm Jake" or something.

This topic is a little pointless, what you ask someone when you first meet 'em depends on the situation. You don't just dive in there with "Hi, what kinda of music do you like?" XD

i knew it was going to be closed...

pretty much in college one of the first questions you give/ask is "whats your major?"

I don't ask specific questions, just get on a topic, chat a bit, and see what comes of it. I wouldn't just be like "Hey what kind of music do you like?" I'll say "Oh this weekend I'm going to see [band].." and then the conversation goes to music tastes.


Yeah I've been getting that a lot, along with "which dorm are you in?"

Want to fuck me?

you weren't caught me by suprise...!

me too
its what i done at my new skool when i had to go in june
i found a RHCP fan lol

Name.
Age.
Where they're from.

eh?

First I ask for:

1. Name
2. Age
3. If they are from somewhere I'm not familiar with, I'll ask where they are from.
4. Grade level
5. If we're at a party, I'll ask if he/she is enjoying it.
6. Music taste, if we run out of things to talk about. But the person always ends up talking about his/her favorite band, and I don't get a chance to talk about mine.
7. If it's summer, I will ask how's his/her summer vacation.

Damn, compared to everyone else, I ask a lot of questions .

sure.

Well, I try to be less cliche. I mean, "what's up" is such a tired goddamn phrase that if that's the first thing you say when you meet somebody, the conversation could get boring so quickly.

Maybe if you say it like this?


What's Up?

what, do you have multi-coloured speech bubbles that appear everytime you speak?

Not I.

that'S right !!. .i think meeting conversations are always boring...we couldn'T do it enjoyable not to saying "what's up"..i think like that

1 name?
2 if they have food?
3 how many daughter they want to have?

Depends on the situation, really.

First name.
Middle name.
Age.
Random questions after that.

Erm, i don't know the FIRST thing i ask, probably their name or "are you from here?"

It really depends. Like just a while ago I bumped into a floormate from last year so I of course asked her how she was and where she was dorming this year. Usually I ask what they've been up to or how they are in general.

*My bad, just noticed it said 'first time'. I guess their name then.

"which way to the bar?"

i tried that once, and got told i was at a church fete, and there was to be no alcohol. needless to say, i no longer talk to that person

It varies.
Once it has been, "Do you know how to smash eggs open?"

"what's ur myspace?" hahaha, jk.

"do you know the way to the blvd of broken dreams?" again, jk. i'm having trouble being serious here.


errr....

"asl?" -- that's a classic. i wish all of the good old chat rooms hadn't been got rid of by Microsoft and stuff *sighs*

If it's for the first time, I'll ask their name.
