Default What to talk about with a person you've just met?

I'm feeling lonely. Well, no wonder, I can't recall the last time I had a conversation with a person offline that wasn't some family member. OK, I did have one last month.

But I was wondering just yesterday, because I was thinking of ways to meet new and interesting people, that what the heck do I have to talk about with them anyway? I don't have any topics in my head, and I can't talk about myself either as I'm quite literally a no-one. I know that it'd be better to be more interested in the other person, but I have this feeling that my conversation partner would also like to know about me, otherwise s/he could be talking to a wall as well.

As I will most probably be the initiating side, then I should have some reason why I'm interested. But most likely I won't, it'd be more a feeling thing, not some little detail that catches the interest. Although could be either way, or some third way.

Person: so, what is so interesting in me then?
Me: I have no idea. You just feel kinda interesting.

Maybe I should then reveal more of myself, as that would probably tell a bit about why I find that person interesting. But there's nothing to talk about me.

As I'm thinking of moving to a different city too, maybe I could look for people who already live there, who could perhaps show me around a little bit. Should be a good enough excuse, heh.
