1 How's it going?: This is the correct expression to use. "How's it going?" is an informal greeting that is commonly used in social situations. Equivalent greetings are: "What's up?" or "How (are) you doing?". Informal replies to these types of questions are: "Good, thanks", "Not bad", "Alright, thanks", or "I'm ok".
1 Can I get you a drink?: This is incorrect. "Can I get you a drink?" is not a request that can be answered with the reply "Pretty good, thanks".
1 What's new?: This is incorrect. The question "What's new?" is not answered with the reply "Pretty good, thanks". "What's new?" is synonymous with "What is happening?" or "What is going on?"
2 So, how do you know Steve?: This is the correct expression to use. "How do you know (Jim)?" is a question that might be met with the following example replies: "We play tennis together" or "We went to high school together". When Philip asks Yolanda this question, she replies, "Chris and I were dating".
2 So, what brings you here?: This is incorrect. "What brings you here" is a colloquial expression which means "What is your reason for being here?" Example: -What brings you to this party? -I was invited, just like you. Be careful not to answer this question with a reply like: "The bus".
2 So, do you come here often?: This is incorrect. "Do you come here often?" is a common (and overused) phrase for initiating conversation with a stranger, especially one of the opposite sex. Possible replies to this question are: "It's my first time here, and you?" or "Not any more".
3 I'm Chris, by the way.: This is the correct expression to use. "I'm (John), by the way" is an expression that is used to introduce one's name, often after the conversation has already started. "By the way" is synonymous with "incidentally". It indicates that you have extra information that is not linked to the current topic.

3 What was your name again?: This is incorrect. "What was your name again?" is an acceptable way of asking someone's name (especially if you have forgotten it), however common responses to this question are: "My name is X", or "I'm not telling you again".
4 Are you single?: This is the correct expression to use. To be "single" is to be without a partner or spouse. This type of question is a direct way of asking someone if they have a girlfriend or boyfriend. The reply, "I'm seeing someone" means that you are currently in a relationship.
4 What's your star sign?: This is incorrect. A "star sign" is an astrological sign or a sign of the zodiac. Possible replies to this type of question could be: "Aquarius", "Capricorn" or "Astrology is a pseudoscience, I only believe in the Force".
