If only it was that simple. Most people I've spoken to don't actually talk about themselves unless prompted. Continuously, but not too continuously, so it doesn't feel like an interrogation, and of course you should make sure to avoid sensitive topics (which vary from person to person; no hints in advance). Also, responding with interest and approval won't cut it; you need to know enough about whatever obscure hobbies they have to carry a conversation. No, they won't explain basics, why do you ask.
