If I ever to go to a singles social event by myself and if I had noone to go with and if there are all these chicks and guys sitting together and if they all know each other, would it be ok if I mingled with them? How can I approach them? What should I talk about if I am being ignored?

At social events, do people mingle?

I think the point of social events is mingling. Just don't come one too strong, like you're trying to "score," just be friendly, offer to buy a round of beers or whatever, talk about the obvious (football game on TV, or whatever). If you're being ignored, move on to the next crowd who is hopefully friendlier. Good luck!

Definitely if you have the option to take a friend with you, then do so. If not then hang out by the bar, its the best place to catch other strays. For small talk, talk about the atmosphere ( not the clouds and stuff but whats going on around at the party) mostly ask questions, girls really like to talk about themselves and mistake that for in-depth conversation. I don't like to approach large mixed gender groups because it has the makings of an awkward situation written all over it. If you know the person throwing the party ask others if and how they know them that's another easy way to strike up conversation

I haven't ever really seen most people mingle at social events unless that's the point of the social event. In cases where there are many groups of people who know each other, you can forget it. Those people will think you're crazy or wonder what you want if you come up to them. They might even get annoyed because they might be having a conversation they don't want interrupted or don't want outsiders to become a part of.
