Using texts to break the ice is easy and can help you avoid embarrassing situations, because you have time to carefully think of things to say. Send the guy an initial text message. This text message can be as simple as saying hello, or a smiley face. To type a smiley face simply use a colon and parentheses together.

Can you make crushed ice at home?

Lay a clean tea towel down on a work surface. Place a handful of ice cubes onto the centre of the towel. Fold the four corners of the towel inward, tying them together tightly with a rubber band. Take a large rolling pin, and carefully whack the bundle of ice for approximately five minutes or until crushed.
