You can start off by asking a simple question. Try something like: Hey how long have you been here; Do you know who so-and-so is; Hey where did you get that shirt. Stuff like that. Music is always a good ice breaker, so talk about that.

As for meeting people...how would you feel if somebody approached you and was nice and cool. Would you tell them off? No of course not. So try that - don't be too afraid or too aproachful, just act like you know them. Hope that helpd and good luck.

Either A)Just introduce yourself, and ask whats going on, or hows it going, or B)Observe what they are doing, and think about something witty to say about what they are doing. Just make them laugh, and take it from there. You'll be fine

What I might try and do, is bring an outgoing friend with you to the party, and just walk around with her a bit and see who she talks to. And whenever she's talking to them, join in on the conversation! =) And then maybe after awhile you'll get more used to talking to strangers and leave her and start walking around on your own =) I hope I helped!



Love,
MELii

get a mate to come with you, or try to get your group of mates to collect near where his is, and then just turn round and say something like hey good party or something. Chances are that other people you know might know him so that might be an option too, to talk to someone who knows him, and then get him into the conversation.

Hope i helped take care

belgiumwaffles answered Sunday September 4 2005, 1:38 pm:
The eaisest thing to do, for me...is to walk up and say 'Hello'. Then ask them what their name is, do they like the party, ect. And it's not as mortifying as it sounds-if it turns out they don't 'click' with you, it's not like they're going to remember and try to kill you, or something drastic like that. But usually, good results come out of a little bit of nerve.

did that help?

My experiances are many, as I have gone to many places where I haven't known people. I just walk up to a group of people and ask nicely if I could join in with the conversation. Then, you contribute to it, and gain knew friends. That's the just do it part.
