Is it ok to initiate conversation with total stranger?

[Canadien]

Am I crazy talking to strangers?

Like making conversation with a girl waiting for bus?

It seems There is usually a heavy silence after very energic first few minutes of conversation, so
Is it ok if I start openning new topics to avoid silence, I'm one of those guys that can talk a lot, if given opportunity?

Is it Ok if I'm content with just making convesation, and not so much interested in getting her number?

From the South Indian background I come from, this kind of behavior is seen as crazy, and even one of the workshop I'm participating about shyness are advicing against approaching total stranger, so whats your guys verdict from this forum?

I'm a very shy person, it was even tough just making eye contact with girls six months ago, but I have vowed to change and I hope I can follow up with the promise I made to myself...

There is nothing wrong with talking to stranger.That's how you meet people. If you're on a bus, then say something like "It's really crowded in here" or "something stink in here" or "This bus is really slow". Say anything that have to do with the bus, a weird looking person, the person you're talking to, the whether.

I had problems with talking to stranger a couple years ago until I came across this site. I have a problem of can't think or know what to say sometime, but I do talk to a lot of strangers.

The problem with me is that I can start a conversation to average looking chicks, but I can't start a conversation with an HB that I am interested in.

I usually know my target from the crowd but usually I chicken out against white chicks compared to chinese, who seemed to be easiest to get along with.

I understand its a slow process, and once I master conversation skill, I know I will have enough confidence to talk to white chicks, but for now I'm just trying to keep myself busy by getting myself involved in as many situation as possible like joinning Gymnasium, French club, conversation club, once I Understand psychy behind woman thinking, I'm sure I'll change my personality to accomodate any girl out there, its all about confidence, and I'm building that up big time.

For so many years only people I associated who talk to strangers were begger, but after coming to this board I am able to see the whole new perspective on life, and posibillities that might openup talking to stranger without any agenda, but to be frank this is still really hard, mostly because all of the people I know think its crazy, and I have to defend myself there.

Why does it have to be this hard, on this board its perfectly normal to talk to strangers while all the people that I do know think its crazy, why couldn't it come easy for me...
