"I don't know anything about you". "You don't want to talk about yourself" - these two I've heard too many times recently.

What would YOU like to know about, so to speak, "a newcomer"? Let's say all doors are open in regards to where it leads. That person may become just someone you've exchanged handshakes with, or a friend, or a boyfriend/girlfriend, whatever. I mean the beginning. How does it look like?
