I've had TONS of experience here in the past year, especially in the past two months, for better or worse. Here's a good list of do's and don'ts from experience:
DO:
===
-Something passively outrageous or funny. Not something like running out of the bathroom wearing only a sock, but like pretending to fall asleep with a beer in your hand on the couch (I've done this, do it towards the beginning of the party).
-Drink beer. I cannot stress this enough. If something else is offered, only take it if:
A) It's for a "community" drink (i.e. taking shots)
B) You've already mentioned that you've gotta finish your beer and they offer you again.
-Talk with everybody for a couple of minutes. When you find an acceptable candidate, talk to them until you run out of "casual" things to say. Then tell her you're going somewhere else (i.e. to get another drink or to get a breath of fresh air) by saying "hey, wanna go <insert place>," or "hey, you want a beer?" If they say no, go to where you said you would, then return to that area and talk to somebody else. If she's interested, she'll catch up with you.
-Invite her to play a drinking game. Man up and drink at least as much as she does, but don't get carried away.
DON'T
=====
-Talk about sex. Change the subject if you have to.
-Drink too much.
-Talk about past relationships, unless you intend to lie about a very recent relationship gone sour. Beware, however, this angle takes a bit of practice and should only be used in desperation, 'cause you're bringing yourself down.
-Get personal. BE VERY CASUAL AT ALL TIMES. For reference, here's a short list of acceptable topics: shoes, where you're from (don't get into too much), TV, music, favorite drinks, what actresses are sleazy/fat (let her start, this works miracles), cool people you've met/places you've been. Make sure not to stay on one subject for too long.
-Act too interested, no matter how interested you are.
The rest is just practice. You can't have game until you practice.
