When I meet people for the first time, I usually ask about their work, family and favourite activities. After that, to avoid the speech becoming boring, I avoid superfluous questions while waiting for him to ask me questions about my job or my life. Here I answer and ask again about him as long as we know about ourselves better.
However, I avoid asking him serious personal questions that may not be appropriate for the first meeting.
First I ask them simple questions, like where they are from, what they do, etc. Then I ask them about their hobbies or interests to find something in common. To be honest, I'm a listener, so I sit quietly most of the time during a conversation.
