Think of two things you can talk about at length. Doesn't matter what they are, just pick them. Then go say "Hi," comment on something about him or the situation around the two of you, and start talking. If, and only if, you run out of things to say, use one of the things you thought of earlier - they are your "backup" conversation topics. If you don't use them, great, you can save them for later.
Honestly, guys are really easy to talk to. Just make eye contact, smile, and push, poke, or pat him at some point and he'll get the message.
It's unlikely that he'll be uninterested, but even if he is, you haven't lost anything. If he's uninterested now, that would be unlikely to change later; if he's interested now, you want to act while you can. If it doesn't work out, you're free to find a different guy. So, as long as you try, you can't lose!
