So I've done pretty well in conversations simply asking generic questions ("oh, what are you majoring in?")) and then going vertical ("what made you pick that major?" -> follow up) from there. Also, I have a broad enough base of interests that I can usually find some common ground with almost anyone.
I think that's OK, but what I want to do is to start with questions that are a little less generic or commonly used, while still being highly open-ended. For instance, I've seen "What's your story?" recommended in several places, and tried it both on and off campus, but it seems to only work well if the other person is at least 30.
Any ideas?
