10 Tips to Break the Ice at a Party
6. Look interested
Tougher than starting a conversation is to keep it going. So seem interested in the person and he will open up eventually. Compliment him on anything that comes to your mind, just make it seem genuine and not fake. Don’t keep blabbering about yourself but give him a chance to speak.
7. Keep it simple
Once you have broken the ice, you don’t want to ruin it by making any insensitive remark that is gonna make him bolt faster than you can say “oh gosh.” So avoid controversial and too personal topics.
8. Use your wit
Humor can help you win over people faster than anything else. So if you have the gift, do use it to your advantage. Making jokes is not just the domain of guys. Everyone loves to be around a witty person irrespective of gender.
9. Join the fun
Take part in the games and activities at the party. You don’t want to be labeled a big bore. Besides, they will also help you break the ice and feel a part of the party.
10. Don’t panic
If something goes wrong at the party, don’t panic. Just start over again. Just because one guy didn’t seem so interested doesn’t mean all the others are also gonna be snobs. Remember you are there to enjoy and you are gonna have your share of fun no matter what.
