Ice Breakers
How do you "break the ice"? Starting a conversation with someone you don't know can be uncomfortable for many people. How do you do it? What are some of the things you say, tools you use, certain phrases... when you approach someone you have never talked to before? Let's see how many we can come up with....maybe we will all learn something we can adapt in our own lives.

Hi Teddybear! Thank you for visiting my blog and for your reply here. Your post was right on. At least for me. Spelling, grammar, and a sense of humor are all important to me.

Hugs, Voice

    I like puns and plays on words plus I have ADD which can make for much creativity. I usually play Texas Hold'Em at the Legion on Mondays as a male, and although my meds don't let me drink more than Pepsi, I came up with: "If I get drunk tonight, will you drive me to your house?" Hasn't worked yet, but I thought it was a really neat line.
Hi Laurie, Good to see you again. I like a good sense of humor.....it goes a long way.
