C.P. Sharpe’s Icebreakers: Parlez With The Hoi Polloi and Make Your Chatter Matter, With 150 Conversation Starters For Every Occasion, From First Dates to last Orders.

Silence is seldom misquoted, but it’s also easily misinterpreted. Being a wallflower might keep you out of trouble, but it also keeps out of the in-crowd. It’s okay. You don’t need to stay for long; just enough to make an impression.

No more awkward pauses. The ice won’t break itself, but most people are merely waiting for that to happen. Step out from the background – most people want you to take the lead. That way they can blame you if it all goes wrong. It’s human nature, but you can learn to use it. After all, fortune does favour the bold.
