Nice to Meet You!

I'm not a shy person but I'm not outgoing either. This time of year I'm forced to meet almost a hundred new people and it always reminds me of the awkwardness of introductions. If you introduce me to someone at a party I will forget their name the moment you finish speaking. I know this about myself. So that's why I have to really work at remembering names of people I will see many times.

Don't you hate the games where you go around the room and repeat the names (and color or food item) of all of the people in front of you. I hate being put on the spot like that.

What are some icebreakers that you like?
