- I am sure you would love this one. A pen can actually become the mediator when you really wish to talk to someone, or break the ice with someone you like in the office or in your college class. Just go up-front and ask cutely “Hey, can I borrow your pen for today. I hear it writes very nicely, and I want to get lucky today”! There you go! The pen cracked up a friendship for you 😀                                          Â
