Vote Democrat. Or Hillary.

Take the highway: it's my way - it's the best - you'll get your kicks on route 66.

What kind of conversation? Are you talking to strangers, people at work, family, good friends, or what. Your question just can't be answered as stated.

What is a convo?

I'm assuming it means conversation.

The OP may be trying to save keystrokes a la Dale.

Hi............... to a sales clerk
Hey.............. to a friend
Hello............over the phone
What's up....if you're in high school
How you doing..if you're Joey Tribianni
All of the above...at some point

Or maybe he's been learning from Dale.

Roger, maybe he IS Dale.....

I like to wait 6 or 7 years before introducing myself so as to not appear too forward, what about you lot?

Right. There's no reason they need to know your name right off. A wave or a friendly nod should be enough for the first few years!

I was working for the Department of Mines when I met her.
We collected statistics and six of us decided to go on a sapphire fossicking weekend to get real, down and dirty.
The overnight train was four to a bench and eight to a box, although there was one woman , but that was later.
We spent the day panning for blue with some success, then it was suggested that we go into town to the local club for dinner.
Pretty sure I had the roast of the day which would have almost always been beef and vegetables a la bane.
By this time it was nearing 7 o'clock and one bloke said, "Let's go back to the caravan park and turn in," and the others agreed.
I said, "I'll see you back there," ... and they left me , ... alone , ... on a Saturday night in a country town so big that the pub had two storeys and stables.
I nursed a couple of beers for quite some time watching and waiting for nothing to happen as boys often do.
Somehow, I went over and said, "Hello my name's NA."
"Hi, I'm M," Moira said as she smiled.
"Let's go," I said.
She said "Okay," and we made it as far as the stables.

Un huh.

And then what happened?
