Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reference to the place you are in can help establish common ground between you and the person you're speaking with. For example, you could ask about their favorite item on the menu at a restaurant, or comment on the weather if you're outside. This can lead to a natural flow of conversation. A corny compliment or a personal topic may make the other person uncomfortable, and self-disclosure should be reserved for after you've established some rapport with the other person.
