What is your ice breaker? [This is a party question]

[JimmyChicken]

And I'm not referring to a ship that sails through ice in the Artic and Antartic regions... Or some kind of ice pick...


I mean what do you say to a complete stranger when you decide they might be worthwhile meeting. You could be at a bar or club, maybe at the pool or beach, perhaps the mall or a shopping complex, maybe even the street. Wherever it is that you meet people.


What do you do or say to get their attention to make them want to be friends with you (or maybe more)??? - rather than being an antisocial twerp that hides in the corner.

Hi.

 

[martha]

I say "Hey cutie-pie, tell your perverted little friend to get his hands offa me."













Oh sorry. Wrong thread.

 

[cell]

i rarely do this but these are what i say to a guy who i think i might be worthwhile:



"cool tattoo"

i like tattoos on guys. just not gangbanger style. im pretty brave i guess if the guy is really cute and has a cool tattoo.


if he says or does something stupid, then i say..

"long day?"



i love guys with long hair and i'll tell them straight up:

"i love your hair"



most of the time i am very shy and you'll rarely see me approach a guy. i surprise myself sometimes

 

[Zoomerang96]

i usually break the ice in front of ladies that im interested in by keeping my head down, look away, keep silent, and finally, walk away.

 

[deep]

I ask if they have the correct time.

When they tell me.

I say, "No thats wrong, try again."

 

[daisybean]

Hi usually works.....

 

[Kieran McConville]

My preferred method of breaking the ice, assuming I attended parties, which I don't, would be to let fly with a few strident opinions on a choice political topic of the day, then retreat sullenly to the bar and get absolutely wasted. Never fails.

Another good lead-in is to be funny. Really funny. This is hard to pull off however, especially if you're not funny. Failing humour, go get an ice pick.

 

[Salome]

have you ever been hypnotized?

 

[Bonochick]

have you ever been hypnotized?

I thought for sure whatever you said would have something to do with shaking.

 

[Zoomerang96]

if i feel particularly brave ill throw on my old world war 1 jacket with medals decorated and placed by kaiser wilhelm the second himself. then i lambast them about how i was responsible for losing the war and how my country will never forgive me for it.

 

[IWasBored]

but i AM the anti-social twerp that hides in the corner!

 

[ghetofabu]

You are all about the ladies aren't you Jimmy. I see a trend here in your thread topics.

 

[Salome]

I thought for sure whatever you said would have something to do with shaking.

that's step 4

 

[ghetofabu]

there are steps?

 

[Salome]

yes,
it's like dancing
exotic erotic dancing even

 

[Bonochick]

Salome likes to gyrate provocatively.

Most people always say hello to me but then I always meet weirdos

If I didnt know them Id say Hey! I offered a hot studnet i met in a bar a few weeks ago that he could sit with me and my friend and he sat with us and it was funny and we got on like a hoose on fire but then we had to leave and go to other places

 

[Bonochick]

One time, I was at a party, and I heard this guy say to his friends, "I'm so drunk, I can't even find me a slut!"

Then he grabbed me and wanted to dance with me.

So...yeah...that's an example of what NOT to say...

 

[ouizy]

I usually just drop my trousers and wait for her reaction.

that really happend to one of my friends

A group of my co-workers had a happy hour at said friend's house...a male co-worker was interested in my friend but didn't know how to approach her.

After the guests had left, my friend went to use the restroom and when she came back, the male co-worker was standing in her living room with his pants around his ankles...and yes, he was um, very happy to see her

 

[martha]

I doubt if that worked too well.

 

[BAW]

well, it didn't work that night because she started laughing hysterically...but they did end up seeing each other for about 6 months.

 

[diamond]

i say-
"do u find it difficult to b a SuperModel or have u sorta grown into it?"

DB9

 

[theSoulfulMofo]

With an ice pick!

Ever seen Basic Instinct?












I'm just playin

 

[martha]

i say-
"do u find it difficult to b a SuperModel or have u sorta grown into it?"

Ooooo, that's a good one, deebs. It would work on me!!!

 

[meegannie]

I've never just seen someone and wanted to talk to them.

As for parties, the way I get noticed is to only talk to one person I know really well, drink a little bit, get depressed because I'm loser, and start crying uncontrollably.

 

[nbcrusader]

My brain is not wired for ice breakers....

 

[Giant Lemon]

My brain is not wired for ice breakers....

Mine neither. I'm the worst person at small talk EVER.

 

[nbcrusader]

Mine neither. I'm the worst person at small talk EVER.

It is my worst nightmare. I can give a talk in front of 100 people, lead a small group in a discussion, but put me in a casual social setting and I want to run
