Wow, to be honest, i don't normally participate in the pub, and wasn't expecting so many encouraging replies. Guess i had the wrong impression of the pub.

if it's the kind of house party that the cops get called on (100+ish and hella loud), then you may have a chance of entry.

if its a smaller gathering (less than a hundred or so people) then your chances of getting in are slim.

be ready to name drop or you might have to GTFO.

do you have a picture of yourself, OP?

sorry to say but that's going to be a huge factor here.  if you look like creep-o McGee then even if you show up with free booze that will just make you even creepier.

edit: I forgot another factor.  your age.  I assume you are talking about a college-aged house party? they will be HELLA Skeptical of anybody who looks older than 30




No need to worry about the creep factor. I'm only 24, and i the attendees are similar age. I'm not going to post a pic here though. i hold my head high and am confident i don't look creepy. I spike my hair up a little which makes my face completely exposed. According to what i've learnt, this presentation alone makes people perceive the person doing it (me) a 'more trust worthy' person. I am a trust worthy person, even to strangers, so i think it's an apt and congruent way to present my self; (and it looks manly the way i do it, rather than boyish).
alas, the party consist of around 30 people confirmed, so my presence will likely go noticed.
It's a house warming party. It seems pretty open. Here is the invitation, aimed at 'friends of guests' (i don't know the guest i'm friends with, they added me, and they're hot so i accepted).
Quote:

This is a UV party. If you are familiar with the famous xxxxxxx xxxxxx party then you know the drill.

Dress in either White or Fluro and BYO drinks and sleeping gear if staying.

- Park down the end of the street and walk up

- Beer Pong table ready to go

- HAVE FUN (Don't break our crap) :laugh:




There is three hosts, so i'm thinking, if one questions my presence, they might suspect i'm a guest of one of the other two persons.
I've been to parties before where i only know one person/the host, and i've done well.

But ya, being the random at a party is last resort. Assuming you have it in you to liven that shit up.

If you stand in a corner and not talk (or be drunk) then it's 'wtf' bizznez



i love parties, but dislike clubs. I can easily socialize with strangers once i'm in the venue, and even better, i know i do it well, people enjoy my banter and i involve everyone to lift the atmosphere. The initial entrance in this particular situation is my concern. Very nervous all because of this.

volcomstoner said:
it's be a good idea to walk by and strike up a conversation with someone outside, if they think your cool(helps if they're good and drunk) I'm sure they'll gladly invite you in.

Also PO, the timing is important, get there too early when things are going slow and people are just starting to loosen up they're likely to notice an unwanted presence, get there when everyone is nice and drunk, having a good time most won't even care.

Who knows man, it might be a rager and they won't even care if you show, could be a great time. Definitely worth a shot IMO, but if you start getting the vibe that your not welcome, leave. Don't want to get anybody pissed off at you.




Thanks, great advice. I've decide, i'm definitely going. Even though i have my doubts, i know for a fact, i'll regret it if i don't go. Even if i have a horribe time, at least i can say, i had the guts to try.

Hello guys. I have always been awkward around people i don't know. In the last year i've been social dynamics and have made major strides in communicating with others. I can make my self feel conformable around strangers quite easily now. Tomorrow night i plan on making a major stride though. I want to party and meet new people, and improve my social skills better. I found a house party on Facebook. I'm not invited, in fact i don't know the hosts or any one else attending. I plan on going, and by my self.
I'm nervous. Any words of advice? I thought i'd just bring some jager and if anyone asked who invited me, i'd bring out the bombs.




just go man, you never know till you try!

30 people invited isn't a very big party, but you have to take in account people bringing their friends so it could easily double. Follow the dress code, but don't make it too obvious and go all out in case they bust you and you just look like a creep.  If it seems small, and you feel discouraged it might not be a horrible idea to come back a little later, if it were me and that was the situation I'd definitely walk buy the house and casually start up a conversation with some smokers. Also not a bad idea to pregame before you show, some sober guy walking in when everyone else is wasted will seem more out of place. The more your on their level the more likely thy'll be accepting.

BTW- I applaud you for having the balls and going out of your comfort zone to meet new people, especially if you've had past trouble communicating with people.  Not many people would be able to do whis. Good luck and have a great time man, you've got nothing to lose. And be sure to post back how it went! :thumbup:

Holy fuck, i'm blushing here. Thanks NWlight. I could go into a very detailed story here, but i won't.
I feel incomplete, and i'm just pursuing filling that gap. It's a very hard thing for me to explain. I guess the best way is as follow: i've only ever been in three fights in my life, the first two were one punch wonder crap that doesn't count. The later was just a week ago. It was with my brother. I got the fuck bashed out of me, but it was the first time i felt free. Although it hurt like a bitch, it was amazing. I don't know if this makes any sense to you others. I don't plan to go there and get into any fights (that's bullshit to me), but i think i need this. I need to conker my fears.

If you are addimit about going to a party uninvited trust me when I say this show up with a 1.75L of Jack Daniels and a 30 rack of Budweiser.  Find the host make sure you show up late enough where he's already drunk not to care give him shots and a beer.  Walk around find a hot chick give her shots and bam dope night.
