Another thing you can trick, is to use a "gimick" to break the ice. A friend of mine from high school would keep "Now & Later" candy in his pocket to offer. I hear PeZ works great too. What I do, is walk up to a gal, whip out my camera phone, point it at her, and say "Smile." Just have fun with it until you learn to relax, or follow through and get her number to chat with her later. And thanks for reminding me Hunnychile, I need to get some name cards too. If she calls me before I call her, then know I left a great impression.
