Okay, let's do a post New Year's update, shall we?
First, I took Plan9's advice: acted more mysterious, made eye contact (which is very hard, considering most people don't look you in the eye anymore), actually tried interesting conversation. It worked. Girl became interested.
However, I had to leave said party early. And me, being, well, me, never got around to asking her for her number. Which means, naturally, that my best friend got with her after my departure. No big deal, just one female out of many, but nonetheless, I fell like an idiot.
My point it this...your advice does work. I just need more resolve and more practice. I still have issues with a definite fear of rejection - my Resolution this year is to get rid of those. Will definately keep you posted.
And, as always, thanks for the advice.
