I think this is horrible advice you are giving this kid. Obviously himself is a little shy of who he wants to become. Now im not talking about being fake at all, but try to better improve yourself before you go to this party and when you go to this party.
For example, lets say you have a bad habit or something people dont like about you, lets say you look like a gothic or something typical highschool kids wouldnt want to be in their group of "popular kids". Go out with a girl that u know thats a friend of urs and have her pick out some nice clothes if you cant do it yourself of course. Nobody minds wearing a nice shirt and pair of khaki's or jeans and its not like ur changing ur skin color to fit in.
As far as meeting girls, depends on what you want to do, if you have had trouble with girls being yourself in the past, its time for improvement in anyway you see fit, now i dont know anything about you so i dont know wheres there's room for improvement. Maybe your hair is kinda scruffy or too long, maybe you have acne, or you dont dress real classy. Work on those things and as far as what to say, just go to

And there are many more in the quick tips section...
Here's a little intro that always seems to work, simple yet effective.
" Hi my names Marsel, i noticed you over here, so i thought i'd come over and introduce myself, you are? " Of course very friendly and smiling, im sure any decent non drunk girl will talk to you, and if they are drunk you better hope you got some rubber.
Of course thats just an example you can fill in watever you want, " I couldnt help but notice you, so i had to come over here and meet you, my name is _____ and you are?" or " I think it'd be a great idea if you wrote your number down, so i can call you and see you again" ... blah blah blah. You get the picture, dont try any pick up lines or anything stupid.
Another thing, when asking for numbers.... DO NOT ASK!
Pull something like this... instead of " Can i have your number ? " Meaning she can say either yes or no.
Try " Why dont you write your number down so i can call you sometime. " The most sure numbers are at the end of a conversation, just get a good conversation going, bull**** her if u have to, i mean lets face it u probably wont find ur "soulmate" at a party. At the end just say " Well it was nice meeting you, why dont you give me your number so i can call you. "
Just my 2 cents... Hope it helps, Good Luck kid.
