Of course failing all this you could man up, get your FIFA courage on, and go say hi, how you doing. Offer to buy her a drink. If she doesn't seem interested you were only offering as it is her birthday......... face = saved. Heart borken, but pride intact :D
Ah, the Sean Bean method...

That's too James Bond for me Nin! I could just about take a hug from her, a kiss on the cheek isn't in my arsenal. Although the rest of your advice makes sense. I'll enjoy some intoxication but I'll go the toilet or something when another round is bought.
Too James Bond? If it was James Bond he would walk in, blank her completely whilst swaggering past, she would instantly despise him, only to be saved by him, and then bought a drink, and then ............... well it's a family forum.
Some alternatives you didn't think of:
1) Walk in and chin the nearest "alpha male" type straight away. Grab her and shout "THIS. MINE!"
She will be impressed by your display of manliness, and will be won over as you are clearly the superior male specimen.
2) If she has a more attractive friend (maybe not to you, but think in her eyes..... jealousy in rife among women), play it one of two ways.
a) Totally blank her friend and chat to her, making sure she knows you did it.
b) Chat her friend up, and when she looks lost, get the chance to say you have only been chatting to her friend to see her..... WIN.
3) Hurt yourself so badly, that she has to notice you and look after you.
I was flirting a lot with a girl, and then got in to a car accident that nearly killed me. The girl then decided she coulda lost me and decided to ask me out.......... nice. Broken ribs, lots of removed skin, a week in bed.............. worth it.

I however AM complaining about the weather. It's too hot and I find it drains all energy. Ugh..
Morning.
I'm not complaining about the sun, but why does it have to be so muggy in the UK whenever it's sunny?

If it was even vaguely "James Bond" then I'm quite certain I couldn't do it. Forget the eyes but if you go in there like everyone else and just hug her and walk away, well you'll be like everyone else. There is an oppurtunity here to make sure you're on her mind all night.

1.Sit in the corner all night, probably won't make contact apart from the initial "Hello".
2.Get drunk, thus gain confidence (I always become very confident when I'm drunk) and talk to her all night. Ask her out sometime. She says "Yes".
3.Get drunk, make a fool of myself, ruin my chances.
4.Stay sober, chat with her as much as possible, try to ask her out.
You see option 4 is probably the right way to go about it, but it's also the hardest. Options 1 and 3 are probably most likely. Option 2 is very risky as it could easily turn to Option 3 very quickly.
As you said Nin, think the main thing is to go out and enjoy myself. If something happens, then great. Surely if I like her enough, I'll make something happen (not rape, but ask her out).
1. I've done that before. Don't do it.
2. Drunk people think they're entertaining, sober people do not
3. That's the same as No 2 then
4. Best option of the 4 but, from personal experience, the more time you spend around her, the more likely you are to say something utterly stupid at some point and ruin your chances.
What I'd suggest is talk to her occasionally when you've actually got something good to say.
Oh and when you arrive and she greets you, kiss her on the cheek, give her "The eyes" and then walk away.

I fear I'm going to imagine her as a man from now on. Then comes the awkward moment were I blurt out "You're not a man are you?" in nervousness :P
I have infact said that to two women, both times as a joke. They didn't think it was funny

Thanks for the advice guys.
Yeah, will just try and play it cool, but not too cool that I look stupid. Natural is the key. Nothing's happened yet, and maybe nothing will. Will just enjoy the party and let it flow.
*EDIT* Oh and by the way, hello Staffies? Anyone there?
Good to see conversation on the forums the past few nights, how it should always be.

Bwahahaha. Brilliant.
But you know what I meant and I bet you it works.
