How do you say "tell me about yourself" in Arabic? It is a common phrase we use when meeting someone new in America but I dont think I hear Arabic speakers use it much or perhaps I simply do not know.

In Egypt we say : كلمنى عن نفسك But if you want to say it in Classical Arabic you should say : حدثنى عن نفسك keep going (:

In Lebanon, we'd say: خبّرني عن حالك when talking to a male, خبريني عن حالك when talking to a female, and خبروني عن حالكن when addressing a group of people.

I think if you say حدثني عن نفسك it sounds like an interview situation. It's not a common question, instead we ask questions to know more about the person.
