When I meet people for the first time, I usually ask about of your profession, where this person born and live, what do you like to do and I offer my help.

when I meet people for the first time, I'Il start getting to know them, then offer them my help, and finally say goodbye.

When I meet person for the first time I usually talk about the name, work place, family and nation. Asking privet information should be limited.
