Having a conversation
hey people,

Ask her questions about herself...people love talking about themselves!
Lol alright. Sorry 
. I agree with hallucination - asking them questions about themselves - ANYTHING, is a good way to start a new path of conversation. Holidays, school, hobbies. You get the idea.
Alternatively - and this is great for building your own character - start an interesting story. "Hey. There was this one time I...." Then a question to them linked somehow.
Talking about mutual friends, the party, what they are going to do in future etc. etc. etc.
Keep on your toes and try to think one step ahead of where you are in the conversation if you are worried about awkward silences cropping up.
Best of luck and happy hunting.

Asking them a question, about their interests is always a very good start!!
See now this is exactly why I want to be able to do backflips off walls.
i always make a big deal out if it- like say- "oh, here comes the awkward silence"
that always makes the other person laugh and at least then u both will try 2 avoid it happenin agen. it also gives u time 2 think of sumink 2 say.
p.s. i am a girl tho so not quite the same situation applies!

sometimes you can have silences that aren't awkward.
or if it is a really awful silence you could always go and get another drink and ask her to come with you. then you set yourself up for numerous interesting conversations, like kitchen decor, drinks, what glass to have... the possibilities are endless

hmmm...
If you find you are both looking at the floor then you could throw up a conversation there:
"Ah, I see you are admiring the 1940s Neo-Greco carpet. It reflects the ultramontane interpretation of a traditional concept uplifted and implanted in a contemporary setting. Not a lot of people know that the latest carpet colours are a reflection of society's attempt to temper the social mobility of feminism with a return to masculine roots. Peradventure you were wondering about the shag element? The clever design allows air, the best insulator, to be trapped just above floor level and therefore it reduces the heat loss from a room making sure that the inhabitants of the party do not physically get cold and thus subconsciously become chilly. The material used is of a synthetic nature as this is both cheaper to manufacture and can be considered more environmentally forward-thinking in today's society; rather than having to rely on furs from animals. The carpet colour (cerise) reflects a subconscious desire by the homeowners to appear warm to the guests but not overbearing or of a depressive nature. Other colours often have a cliché nature about them however, insofar as they are thrown everywhere in modern decor but the homeowner has struck the right balance between expression of a desire to succeed with an outward show of temperance and liberal, democratic thinking."
I could go on for hours but one hopes you have got the basic idea
