Party

Post Reply New Topic

One of the biggest social events of the semester is going to take place tonight... A major party.

A couple of people have rented out a restaurant which will be converted to a dance floor.

These same people have hosted two or three similar events at the same location that I've been to in the past.

Both times, I ended up just walking around for most of the night talking to people and when I couldn't find anyone to talk to, I would just sit down while everyone else was dancing. I danced with a couple of girls, but I ran out of energy.

I had planned on taking a date with me, but all the girls that I would want to invite are either busy or taken.

I am definitely going. But I want to do well socially. Please offer advice on what I can do to make this a success (saying don't go, or I don't attend events like that isn't helpful).

I think it's good to make an effort. I made the mistake of never going to events like that during university, but I wish I had instead of mentally writing them off; who knows what might have happened? I probably would have hated much of it, but it might have led to better things.

I'd suggest you just keep doing what you've been doing. Not everyone can dance the night away. So long as you're talking to people and making an effort.

The fact that you're going puts you one step a head of me

Have a drink or two and relax a bit, and just chat to people.
I don't like to dance all night at parties either. It's exhausting, and when there's too many people on the dancefloor i feel claustrophobic.
Just the fact that you'll be there will mean something to people.
Have a good time.
