Here is a question for you.

When I am flying VFR and request Flight Following I say "Kansas City Center, Nxxxx with VFR Request" and then wait for ATC to respond and then give them my location altitude destination and request for flight following.

I hear many people just come right out with the full request and they almost always have to repeat what they said. What is the prefered method when asking for flight following?

Also with flight following, if you as the pilot encounter traffic without being given a heads up by ATC, should you report the traffic to ATC? or simply continue along your route?

Thanks
I appreciate it.
