Before we start, what you need to know is that there are two types of strangers:
-Those bothered by you
-Those who are willing to talk to you
In both cases, the first seconds of making contact are crucial.
Here is how you should approach both.

First thing you need to realize, is that while you're only practicing your social skills
The person in front has absolutely no interest or reason to listen to you.
This is why it is of paramount importance NOT to talk about yourself.
Make them feel comfortable.

Before we get to what you will say and how.
Let's focus on body language.
To trigger anyone's curiosity, you should convey a confident and reassuring vibe.
Your posture should be showing confidence without intimidating your interlocutor.

How can your body language express positive vibes?
- Straight back
- Wide shoulders
- Pumped chest (dont over do it)
- Genuine smile
- Stay at least a meter away from the person, you want to show interest but you want them to come to you

The eye contact:
It is important to NEVER be the one that breaks eye contact.
Look at them in the eyes with (a fake yet) genuine interest
Make them feel like you want to hear what they have to say without seeming threatening or intimidating

The talk:
Do not talk about yourself.
They don't know you, so they don't care.
Yet.
Never affirm firmly with a stranger.
Ask open ended questions to force the person to talk about themselves
PS: Do not be intrusive, stay superficial, make them say more than necessary

Having go to stories and topics makes it easier to navigate through social interactions
You can bounce back on anything your interlocutor says if you have go-to stories
Prepare a few, whether search for them on Internet or think of your past experiences
Be relatable.

Once the person tells you enough (or too much) about themselves
They'll automatically and subconsciously trust you.
This is what you want.
It's time to cut it short.
Go away. Make them come back to you.
The one that is overly insisting has no value.
Dont be that guy.
