    It is important to ask open-ended questions, as they leave more room for conversation than just a yes or no question.

    Ask if they are a cat or dog person or if they have any pets of their own.Talking about pets is always great, since most people have a pet. If they don't, they probably still like pets, so that's a great ice breaker.

    Try to get to his friends first, see if they can tell you anything about what's been bothering him. Try to initiate small talk with him too, just to build up to a lengthy conversation later on. Remember, these things take time.

    Take the biggest step that you're comfortable with, no matter how small it is. If you're afraid to leave your house, don't go running a marathon just to force yourself out. Start by touching your mailbox and running back inside, for example. Say hi to this person, ask how the day went. Listen more than you speak.

    To break the ice with your customers, get to know each other for a couple of minutes. Let the customer be comfortable around you. You could also make small talk by talking about the weather, their interests, or their family or pets.

    Start with small talk. Start out by asking how they are. As your conversation continues, apologize to your friend. It might take some time, but they will eventually forgive you.

    Oftentimes it is best to just introduce yourself and tell him the truth. So you could say something like "Hey i have noticed you here many times and you seem like an interesting person. Whats your name?". It's not as important what you say as how you deliver it to another person when you first introduce yourself. Be as relaxed as possible and give him a good time. The rest will follow naturally.
