When was the last time you made small-talk with a stranger in your age group?

last week at the bus stop a girl asked me why I wasn't wearing any shoes...

So...why weren't ya wearing any shoes?

Last time, summer school, which was about a month ago. I haven't been out much since then.

because they melted to the sidewalk when I left them outside, besides it was time to get some new ones anyway. electrical tape and super glue can only do so much...

Last week a man came up to me in order to find out the definition of "Specifications." Since I am not Korean many strangers come up to me to touch my hair or just talk English. So I talk to random strangers whether I want to or not from time to time. Most are interesting and it is not that big of a deal.

I've tried introducing myself to a couple of different guys and girls so I have someone to contact if I miss class, but all I get is one-word answers and blank looks. It's so annoying having to carry on a one-sided conversation, which quickly becomes awkward.

Ever considered it's you that's the problem? That ppl genuinely don't want to talk to you? They might be having a riot of a time, and then a unattractive stranger shows up, cramping their style?
j/k

Anyways, last time I made small-talk with a total stranger prolly was in line for a piss or for a beer somewhere. Ppl readily talk when standing in line, seemingly more so than in other situations. Or whenever there's footie on a public tv and they haven't seen the first half.
