First off, if you're new this may be a bit tough, but shoot for the sky, right?
First, open with something interesting or ask their opinion on something. If you have a wing, this is especially easy:
"Hey, my friend and I were having a debate and we need an outside opinion. We were discussing that Bruno Mars may be the next Michael Jackson. I think Bruno is way more talented and way less creepy. Can you help us settle the debate?"
Honestly it doesn't matter what you say, as long as you're confident and get them talking. This is where usually at least one girl in the group will chime in. Watch all of their faces. One of them is bound to be the bitch of the group.
Whoever gives you stink face, direct a quick question to them and try and give your mark around 70% of the attention, while using the other 30% to keep her friends at bay.
Eventually they'll get bored and the girl you want to talk to will be a little more available. Ask her if she wants to go somewhere were you can hear each other and run it by her friends. "I'm going to borrow your friend for a minute, I'll have her back, I promise!"
If there is a guy in the group ADDRESS HIM IMMEDIATELY. Shake his hand, look him in the eye, say hello and move on. If you can win him over, you're golden. If not, you're in some shit.
Hope this helps!
