You guys are mentioning to just go on my own. But I'm not that extrovert, I tend to be shy towards people I don't know well (or at all). So if you go on your own, the idea is to make contact with random people.. but if I look at it from the other way around.. if I would be there with my friends, I wouldn't really need to have this stranger alongside me the rest of night.. so the idea would be to just hop from one group of people to the other every 15 minutes? I don't see myself doing that.
I'd like some advice, or you can just simply burn me for being fainthearted. |
I go alone to events all the time, but my situation is opposite from yours. I DON'T want to meet or talk to people. I want to enjoy the music, dance and be left alone. Generally, 95% of the people there are just like me. They stick with their friends and don't try to chat up strangers. Those people I like. Then there are the 5% of people who tell me inane stories about what they did at WMC or "ask" me to dance grabbing me. The wasted and desperate quotient is quite high at parties & me because I'm a woman alone, I deal with a lot of unwanted advances. In fact, I left a nightclub because one guy wouldn't stop following me.
^Don't be that guy.
Instead, I suggest that you do not "hop" among social groups. Instead plant yourself in front of a DJ you love, dance you face off, engage in succinct banter with your neighbors ("Great song."), and go home. That's what I do & I have a great time.
