Mkay, so I'm somewhat reserved and I have a hard time talking to people. Especially people I am interested in.
So there's this guy...
haha, no, really, there's a guy I am interested in but I haven't a clue how to start up a conversation with him. A meaningful conversation, one that makes him remember me. I don't know him at all and he doesn't know me, which is why I want to start talking to him and get to know what kind of person he is.
Doesn't go to my school and isn't a friend of a friend or anything like that. Only been to his work a couple times and made small talk just in passing. I don't think I could explain why I'm drawn to him, just a weird feeling.
SO. Does anyone know of any conversation starters? Ways I could get to know him?

Hard to say. Some conversation starters could make you sound weird others could just draw his attention. Did you ever try just complimenting him on either a shirt or a clone he might be where. Believe it or not guys like complements and will see it as an opportunity to talk to you more.

I can't say this about all guys, but if a girl just comes up to me and says hi, I'm usually pretty receptive. If the guy likes you, it really doesn't matter what you talk about, he'll be interested in anything you say.
I would suggest not coming off too strong. That usually scares them away. Just be polite, say a couple things, and then listen what he talk about so you can build off of that. If it seems like that's not working, ask a few questions like what he likes to listen to or what his favorite restaurant is.

Huh I had a few ideas until you mentioned you only see him at his work. I mean I can give you a few, but trying to pick someone up at work is a bit more difficult for several reasons. One of them is usually people don't like being hit on while they are at work.
But, here are a few anyway (make sure you're keeping it looking casual incase the boss is watching):
Watch for any extra accessories that appeal to you, like necklace or an earring that you can comment on.
-- Where does he work? Try talking to him about what you find interesting in the store and what you like to shop there for.
-- If he is workin in a grocery store, try bringing up a fact about a favorite food of yours that you are checking out with.
-- You can always try the universal ''so, have you seen any good movies lately? I'm thinking about grabbing some friends and going to see one, but don't know what to see. What would you suggest?''
And keep in mind to mentally log away anything he says, for everything he tells you tells a little something about himself.
