Yeps...I agree with all above.

I have no problem with talking to..anyone. I've found that a smile with bright eye contact is a must. I've always applied compliments, as well, so long as they are suttle and not overly-obvious.

A lot of people love to talk about themselves, so open an ear and listen, even if boring, (and don't feel badly if you need to politely excuse yourself from someone who can talk your ear off...lol..chances are they'll wander off to the next available ear).

The best you can do is be YOU. And from the sounds of it, you'll do just fine.

Best of luck.
