<p>When you are at a social gathering be it your friend's house at a birthday party or for instance at your family's friend's house is it good to always say hi to people with enthusiasm and say what's your name and introduce yourself, or just to mind your own business? What do you think is the best route if you want to meet new people and make new friends? Always take the first step and show interest in another or just mind your business and let things come naturally? Whatever makes your recipient like you more is what I'm interested to know.</p>
<p>If you wanna make new friends, obviously you approach them and say hi. Waiting for them to come first may take a little longer. But please don’t overdo this, because it can scare people away toooooo</p>
<p>EDIT: Really though, if you are hot, everything will just come your way.</p>
<p>I read a book on etiquette and it said that you should say something like: “Howdy! I’m Joe. Tim sure threw a great party didn’t he?” If it’s at a college then it should be pretty easy. You could say something like, “How are you liking it here at University X?” If they say they like it a lot, then ask what they like about it and expand from there by saying “Hey I really love aspect x too!.” If they say something negative ask what they don’t like about it and expend from there by saying something like “Yeah I don’t really like aspect x either.” Although, I wouldn’t spend too much time befriending someone who isn’t happy there. After all of that, the conversation should hopefully pick up some steam.</p>
<p>what book?</p>
