Has this ever happened to you? You arrive at a party or wedding reception where you don't know anybody. Everybody there seems to know each other. What can you do? Here are five simple tips.

Don't stand in the corner. You need positive. Find somebody you think you would like and go and introduce yourself.
Try impersonal questions like 'I love your bag. Where did you get it?' That will help a conversation.
Try the conversation. When you are nervous, it's very easy about yourself all the time. Nobody wants to your life story when they've only just met you.
Smile, smile, smile. Use your body-language a positive, friendly impression. That way people will want to you.
If you want from a really boring person, say that you are going to the bar another drink or that you need to the bathroom. Don't come back!
