Party People.

I am not a party person, but I do like to go to parties that my friends and family throw, and I like to have my own. Sometimes, though it becomes a chore (or an obligation)having to go to family dinner parties or celebrations. Other times, it is fun to see people that you have not had a chance to see in a long time because we are all so busy. Then, I end up having a great time and I am glad that I went.
An aquaintance of mine has been telling me that she will have a party soon. And that she is going to invite tons of people. I, however, do not know any of her friends, and I barely know her. So, I do not want to go, and be uncomfortable there, especially, since they probably all know each other. A few days ago, she called to tell me that she is picking a day soon and that she will confirm with me in another few days. How am I going to get out of going, when she already thinks I have made space in my schedule for her party? Or should I just go? Another reason why I am not really anxious to go is that I am not sure if I want our friendship to expand, we have so little in common, and are not very alike.

Hi,
I'm not too much into parties either unless they are family or friend related. I remember replying to your discussion the other day about "who are my neighbors". This party might be an opportunity for you to meet some people in your area. I have only been to one party since I moved. It was a recent Christmas party and like you I came up with a ton of reasons of why I should not go but I bit the bullet and went and really enjoyed myself. Even though you don't have too much in common with the person who invited you-there might be others there that have the same interests as you and you might make a new friend. If you decide to go and don't feel comfortable after a little while then go ahead and leave. Some parties start out slow and get better as more people arrive and unfortunately for the hosts some parties are stiff and uncomfortable. You just never know.

I love parties. The best thing I like about parties getting to know people you never knew. Isn't this what we are doing here at mylot. Just see the advatage in this. But at a party you meet live people. They will be from all walks in life. You must not limit your associatedship to a limited circle of people you already know. Sometimes some people find it difficult. But make it a habit and you will get used to it.
