I've heard numerous people claim that it's not uncommon for Americans to start chatting with strangers on public transport, to randomly approach people in places such as supermarkets to try and get a date etc. From what I've observed over the years, this kind of thing isn't at all common here in the U.K. where I live. As a nation, we tend to be quite closed off and cautious towards people we don't know. I guess I'm just wondering if it's the Brits that are excessively reserved, or if it's the Americans that are excessively forward. Apologies for any generalisations I may have made in this topic.
