Everyone has been in this fix. Maybe you're at a soccer tournament or perhaps your parent's dumb reunion. Whatever the case, these steps should help.

[edit] Steps

Find a person. For instance, someone you would like to get to know better.
Start introducing yourself. Say "Hi, my name is so and so." From here, it's best to find something you have in common so that you can continue your conversation. For example, if you are at a soccer tournament, ask them if they are playing or watching.

[edit] Tips

Try not to be shy. If you approach this person with no confidence, they will probably not like you as much as your outgoing self.
Be confident. Think of the right things to say. If you say something too personal, they will get a little uneasy around you.
Talk about a funny story or the book you just finished, a TV show, etc. You are probably a very exciting person, so let that show.
The biggest mistake is lying the whole time. Be truthful. The truth can be as exciting as lies.
