This is a short question, But how should I start to tickle someone? Should I wait until others leave or should I do it in public? And when I start out should I be light or hard?

Hard to answer such a generic question there, Ace.
If they're interested in tickling (like a forum member, or someone who explicitly states interest) it could go on reasonably for longer than someone from whom you have no such confirmation.
Social situation dictates how to start. If you can steer the conversation in the direction of tickling smoothly, you can probably build a segue to at least a quick tickle in public. If you doubt your ability to do this, don't do it.
If you're with a fellow tickle-phile and both know the others wants, odds are desire will eventually overcome any obstacles, and a segue will be found one way or another.
First tickles should be exploratory, just finding good spots. If your initiation is romantic/erotic in nature, light gentle and sometimes slow tickles are likely in order. If the initiation is playful, maybe harder. Be careful not to go too hard the first time you tickle someone -- you don't know their sensitivities, and if you make them scream or cry, you're probably done. Pay attention to your 'lee and her reactions.
The public/private setting question is always very tricky. Some people, no matter how good it might feel to them, are offended by the notion of being tickled in public. You never want to offend your 'lee if you can help it. Spend some time getting to know the person and by extension, what would or wouldn't be acceptable in what situation.
Good luck!
