Small talkwith a stranger is an entirely different ballgame. You don’t have anything in common with the other person and know nothing about them, which leaves you with mundane, cliché topics like the weather.In such cases, Cuncic offers two options: giving a genuine compliment or keeping quiet. You can try the former, but chances are the other person is likely not in the mood for small talk anyway. Feel out the situation and see what works best.
