Your gif is choppy and washed out bro . Plus it loads super slowly on my 175 Mbps down connection . gifv is far superior . <| sep |> One of the all time great beauties . Shes basically pure sex . <| sep |> Things you can start with 1 . Others have mentioned it but you can ask how they know the host and then say how you know the host neighbors , coworkers , etc . Maybe compliment the host for being a good athlete , fun guy , good party thrower or something . 2 . Talk about the food . Hey , have you tried the such and such they are really good . 3 . Sports are you planning to watch the basketball , football , tennis match tomorrow ? Or did you catch the game last Sunday ? Go from there if they saw it too . 4 . Have you seen any good movies lately ? Or just say you caught the latest movie and really liked it , did they see it . 5 . Ask about upcoming or past holiday . Are you ready for the holidays yet ? Are you hoping for a particular gift ? Around Halloween people seem to ask if they are ready for or got a lot of trick or treaters ? They talk about all the leftover candy they get to eat . 6 . The weather . Can you believe how hot it ' s been , how much snow we are supposed to get , etc . 7 . You can ask about if they are from this area originally or where they were born . 8 . You can ask how their week has been going . If they say what they did you can comment on that . If they say they just came back from a business trip you can ask where they went . 9 . If you are quiet or introverted don ' t just ask questions , talk also or the person will feel they are being interviewed . 10 . Keep in mind any interesting or funny things that happened recently or you read about . 11 . Try to go with the flow and if you find a good topic you can stick with it a while . If it ' s a party move on after a while especially if you sense the other person would like to mingle . Don ' t monopolize one person unless you are getting along super great . You can always say , nice chatting with you , I ' m going to get something to drink , get some more food , etc . PS It doesn ' t hurt to smile . It makes you look confident and like you are having fun .
