#1 Conversation Starters

Always establish Positive Eye Contact first. Then say "HI" and choose your option.
"I love the music they're playing! Do you know who this [artist/song] is by?"
A classic and effective opener, as music is often a central element of a party and a common shared interest.
"(Holding a drink) This [drink] is amazing! Have you tried it?"
A low-risk way to engage, centered around a shared experience at the party.
"Hi, I'm [Your Name]. This party is [great/lively/a lot of fun], isn't it?"
A straightforward and friendly opener that shows you're engaged with the environment and open to conversation.
"(Looking at a piece of art/decoration) Wow, that's really cool. Have you seen anything else like it here?"
If there's something visually interesting at the party, using it as a starting point shows curiosity and engagement.
"That's a really interesting [shirt/watch/accessory]! Where did you get it?"
A genuine compliment on something specific he's wearing can be a great icebreaker and shows you're observant.
"(If there's food) These [appetizers/snacks] are delicious! Have you tried the [specific item]?"
Similar to the drink opener, using food as a common point of interest.
"Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your [great laugh/interesting conversation]. What were you all talking about?"
A bold but potentially rewarding approach that acknowledges him in a positive way and invites him to share.
"This place is [packed/buzzing] tonight, isn't it? Have you been here before?"
Commenting on the atmosphere and asking a simple question shows you're present and interested in his experience.
