Seriously! What's up with people missing out on something because they "have no one to go with?" If I want to go see a dj or go to a concert and no one can go with me, I don't give it a second thought. I go. Aren't you going to hear the music anyways though? That doesn't take more than one person.

This subject always pops up in a couple of months.

Personally I'm not the kind that makes friends easily and don't like going out alone to a party, even when I go early to meet friends later, I stress out moving along the whole place trying to find someone I know. Through the years I realised the most important thing to me in a party is the social experience.

So instead of trying to drag my friends into EDM, I went the other way and go party with them to whatever shit top 40 night is out there. It's plenty of fun. Sometimes once a year or so I get my EDM fix with some night out, but it's not that important to me anymore.

But hey, I guess if you're really really a dj fanboy or massive EDM nut, it might be worth going alone. Just make sure to go with the right attitude - the most important thing is to have fun.

I must have been quite lucky - none of my mates were ever into the clubbing thing. Neither my friends from where I lived or where I went to school or uni. I always tagged along with my big brother when i was younger and over time just became part of his circle of friends who were all into going to see dj's at the weekend..

Over the last few years i've been out and about with them more so than my friends from around where I stay, guess I just got sick of sitting in the same pub weekend after weekend so done something about it and thank fuck too.

Well, I guess I could give it a try, going on my own. Most of the time I spend my nights at the front, alongside the other people who want to party. I'm dancing 99% of the night so that could help.

I don't do drugs. Plus, I'll have to drive. So that won't do. Don't think I need it though.

Well considering that the content in essential mix seldom belongs to Pete Tong, I don't think so. I guess what I mean is that I appreciate what this guy did for EDM, which is a fair bit, and I'm interested in attending a live show of his.

Originally posted by Frenkieee 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.

sorry for double posting-

I'd say expect to be alone a lot of the time ... but still kinda subtly interacting with people

don't get attached to any particular people too much, but approach anyone and be open to anyone who makes contact with you, don't worry about spending too much or too little time with anyone (like no 15 min rule .. not that you were necessarily serious about that. or wait, using a 15-minute rule might be great fun and since it doesn't really matter anyway)

Going with someone can be fun, but in my experiences, it plays an increasingly less important role as the night goes on.

It's good to walk in with someone, to have someone to hang out with and share a few quick conversations before actually heading out to the dancefloor with as things are just warming up.

But once the dancefloor momentum really picks up, when you can barely turn around and can barely hear the person yelling in your ear, it makes little difference if you came alone or with someone else.

Even in cases when it's not such a madhouse, I'm pretty sure you eventually just wind up doing your own thing.

Depending upon where you live, it can be more or less a weekly occurrence.
