So many people just start a conversation with a simple "hi" or

"hello", unfortunately this is considered a really bland and boring way to engage in conversation. It makes that individual seem uninteresting, unimaginative, simple, stuck up, bland, and maybe even passive aggressive! Instead of just saying "hi" or "hello", maybe try saying "hey" and follow that up with a question or statement about something you observed or you're curious about. Being fun and cheeky also helps set the mood and tone!

Example: Hey I really liked the fact that you're from Australia! Do Kangaroos really eat people over there? :p

    I saw a man punching a male Kangaroo with bare fist for saving his dog via YouTube. More shocking than the Texas Tough.

    @Chris This moment has been written by the bloodthirsty kangaroo himself. He wants to try new tastes, outside of Australia. Isn't it, ? Be careful, people, texting him with your innocent "hello".

    I watched the video, where kangaroo was holding the dog. After joining dog's owner the kangaroo was striked to the face. I felt sorry for the kangaroo.

    But what if a person has poor ability to communicate with people? What if he always says little before he meets the one he like?

    I think that it is just a big deal when beginner learners dare start chatting, because they are really shy. And how would they feel if after their 'hello' you say 'you are boring with your 'hello'?

    @Vera да, я с этим тоже согласна. А ещё лично мне нравятся далеко не все приколы, которые люди иногда пишут в самом начале беседы) после некоторых из них вообще не хочется отвечать 😁 Меня больше бесит не простое hello, а то, что люди начинают писать, не читая профиль. Начинают спрашивать, например, про работу, хотя у меня про это в профиле написано)
