At my first one I went along on my own. I didnt know anyone but I reckoned there would be other noobs too that I could talk to. The hostess will probably introduce you to everyone anyway & then you just start to blether. Tell someone you're nervous, they'll prob look after you  |

My first social I organised with a fellow member so I wasn't really allowed to be nervous lol. Luckily I went in with people I knew so didn't feel so awkward and had a blast  |

I was shy the first one on my own. But if you make friends and meet them there then it's a little less daunting. Now I'm up dancing the night away with whoever is brave enough to ask me to dance. Or I get up on my own and boogie. I have a great time at socials.

Don't really see the funny side of this thread. Think the OP has just made a pig of everyone that took time to answer this |

My comment was aimed at Fmuma's comment about her being shy, not at the OP.  |

I don't see why people would think the op was taking the piss!
Just coz he has met loads of people one on one doesn't mean he wouldn't be shy walking into a room of 50 or so folks he doesn't know 
Some people are too quick to judge me thinks  |

Exactly. Regular forum users all have English as their first language. Not everyone on fab is from the UK. Some foreigners can be sensitive over their place of birth (only they know why, bad experiences, xenophobia) or their language skills. There is an added hurdle for some people.
I can be shy, but I can easily put it aside. I would be a bit apprehensive if I was on holiday abroad and went to a social in France trying to remember my French from school.

Some good info and advice there.
I haven't been to a social but reckon I should take the plunge.
Nothing ventured nothing gained, Fortune favours the bold, the meek shall inherit hee-haw and other such useless platitudes. |

Some people are too quick to judge me thinks I wasn't judging anyone many of the guys verifications are from partys not 121's you know he'd be made to feel more than welcome at anyone of my socials or private partys xxx "
I know you'd make him welcome hon but also know there's a big difference between a private party and a big social and I was crapping myself before my first social even tho I'd already hosted a couple of parties by then  |

Some people are too quick to judge me thinks See the partys he was at Did he just sit with his mouth shut Don't think So "
Were you at these parties?!?!????
I only ask because I wouldn't profess to know what went on at a party if I wasn't there
Maybe he knew one or two people who were attending?!?!?!?! Which would, in my opinion, make a huge difference.
As for the 'not thinking he was asking for help' then wtf do you think he was hoping to achieve? Going by his profile it's not as if he needs any help to get meets

If you want to attend a social but are unsure about it. Go to the chatroom,get to know folk and when a social is advertised, see whose going that you chat regularly to and meet them at the social. Most of the organisers of socials on here, will only be to glad to look after you and introduce you to others. Easy,lol have fun x |
