Here's one Neil Strauss mentioned that works really well for newbies:
“Hi, I’m just out walking around meeting people, how are you doing?”
Just keep it up though you're confidence will grow.
As far as conversation goes it is important to realize when you are TRYING to impress and show off to women as this will ultimatley be your greatest downfall. This is where you're going to freeze up as a result of trying to force something you're doing naturally. I personally can talk about stupid anything. One example I can give is starting a conversation about something as abstract as my legs being tired from exercising on Wii Fit and we will go off on random threads such as how often we exercise, being rambunctions and high energy, liking to keep fit, ect.
I can remember the akward silences and the girls favorite phrase being, "well talk to you later" so I know what not knowing what to talk about is like. I also remember talking to girls after rehearsing body language, tonality, ect. in my mind and then getting so enwrapped in situations that it all got thrown out the windows when that HB talked to me and the emotions flooded me.
Interestesting conversation is FAR easier than you think but they key is to NEVER force it or else you're going to draw blanks. Like anything else the best working things are the most natural.
