As it is crucial to make a good first impression offline, in the same way, it is equally important to make a good start if you want to talk online with strangers. 

Your first chat should not reveal everything about you, yet it should be friendly and comfortable. How to start the conversation will determine how long the conversation will go.

One can rejoin if, for the first few times, they fail to make a good start, but then eventually have to learn a good start, or else they will only be doing hi, hello, and everyone else will find friends to talk with before them.
