Open questions get people talking and that's what you want in order to get a good handle on that person's personality. There is nothing worse when meeting someone for the first time then that awkward silence after greeting each other. Kick the silence into orbit. Here's a few more conversation starters:
How was your day?
You look really nice, where did you get (item in question)?
How was work?
What sports do you play or like? How long have you played for?

What do you normally do for fun?
Do you like (an interest of yours)?
What's the neatest place you've traveled to?
What's one place you haven't traveled to yet that you really want to go?
These simple ideas will get the conversation flowing and you will find out what the other is interested in. Be sure to listen carefully to what the other person says so that you can ask follow-up questions while learning new things. DONT FORGET.....
Smile
Look into their eyes
Listen carefully
Laugh
Be honest, friendly, and interested
