How do you introduce yourself to new people?

Do you crack a joke at the risk of being blanked, just introduce yourself with a friendly hello, go for the flirt (if you’re attracted to them) or act shy and wait for them to make the first move (if ever)? I’m not asking for advice, that’d be in general, I was just wondering how you tend to “operate”. I usually go for the general hello, I have a friend who will go for the flirt with anyone, regardless of gender (he’s male). So what do you do?

With a firm handshake & a winning smile!
Damn i’m good XD
I tell them my name and shake their hand.Then hump their leg to show I care XD
“Hi, my name is Jan” usually gets the ball rolling for me.
Shake hands, eye contact, and “Hey, how’s it goin?”, and after that is small talk.
@ucme With a firm handshake, a creepy smile and the words “hey little girl”
Damn I belong in prison XD
@FPSMadPaul Michael, is that really you? Back from the grave you kiddie fiddling bastard you XD
Smile and say hello, followed by “I’m Stacey”.
Sometimes I’ll make some small talk first. Like, “Wow, those are really interesting paintings, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like that before.” or “Boy, these tomatoes sure look better than the ones I’ve been trying to grow in my backyard.”
If people are amenable to the small talk and they join right back in, then I am more likely to say, “Oh, by the way, my name’s Kardamom.” If they seem annoyed, scared, disgusted, or bored by what I’ve just said, then I don’t even bother.
I just smile and introduce myself.
I ask them A LOT of questions. We talk about our interests and if we watch same tv shows then we talk about the hottest guys and from there on we click
Hey, how’re things? I’m stardust, nice to meet you.
I usually wait until someone introduces themselves first, and then I’ll do so myself, short but politely. Then I wait for whatever reason they have to keep on talking to me. I don’t have that much class, but eh I can’t help it. I’ve sometimes tried to change this, but when it happens I don’t even realize it.
Hiya, my name’s Sabrina. (smile) Puts hand forward to shake hand. Gives firm handshake.
I really, really don’t like a limp handshake. Puts me off the person and says a lot about them.
Firm, vigorous handshake, offer my name, say it’s a pleasure to meet them or give them a hardy “deee-lighted!”
Name, handshake and a smile. If I have some attraction then there will be a longer gaze and twinkle in my eyes. Since a small child, I’ve been told my eyes don’t lie so I use them.
I have no idea. I guess I never think about. I just do whatever seems appropriate at the time.
Weird, I say “Hi my name’s Jan!” as well, even though that’s not my name!
Depends on the context but pretty much always start with G’day, I’m [insert my name here]
How I continue depends on whether it is a work or personal situation.
I may or may not shake hands. If I know them, I might hug them.
Sometimes I alternate using each of the Family Guy’s characters when I introduce myself. Stewie is the most fun and Quagmire gets me slapped. But most of the time it’s just with sincere Hi, a sweet smile and warm handshake. Warm handshake for me is when during the handshake you use your other hand to sandwich his as the hand shaking continues.
