"Hi."
"Hey."
"How are you?"
"Good. You?
"Oh I'm fine."
"What's new?"
"Nothing. You?"
"Nothing."
The end. The conversation hits a wall and neither you nor them are interested in anything more.

Tip #1. Ask a really personal question
Don't be afraid! You've got absolutely nothing to lose and you will be surprised how much people will share if you just ask.
"Where do you see yourself ten years from now?"
"What is it that you are most passionate about?"
"What is your dream/goal in life?
This will certainly cut any small talk and also build a closeness between you both. They've just shared something extremely personal and therefore opened a window for you to see who this person really is. It could spark conversations of greater depth and captivation. So go ahead and start by asking a really personal question!
