>I just dive right in Advice dog aside, that part is actually correct. Just dive right in. Say it. Start the conversation you want to have. Don't worry about what they may think, or preamble, or leading up to it, or any of that. If you've got something interesting to say, most people will appreciate that you just took the bull by the horns and started talking about it. And even if not, most people appreciate someone who can steer away from awkward silences and boring small talk, no matter which direction they actually go with it.
