socialising

[salisbury]

i have a bit of a dilemma this weekend, my parents are going away so me and my sister have free house...anyway i was just wondering if this was weird...

ive been invited to my mates party but its mainly couiples and i know ill feel awkward.....so the other option was to stay in, but my sister and her fella are havin their friends around (who are younger than me but a few pretty girls)

Am i worrying too much, Id like to go to either but I know I will feel uncomfortable at both events.

Its stupid as all my other posts have complained about getting back on the dating game etc, but the thing is its gonna be couples at the party and at the poker night its gonna be testosterone fuelled 21 year old guys playing poker with 21 year old girls (im 24)

I just feel like an outsider in both cases and just wanted to know if anybody else has these feelings or is it just me?? lol.......

theres a girl i really like who will be at the poker night, but I hate being centre of attention, id prefer to talk to her one-on-one but i never get the chance

Stay at home and try and cop off with one of your sisters mates. Simple as that.

Good luck.

Yep, as wardy says stay at home and get stuck in to one of those friends of your sisters. I'll come and help you out if you like. lol.

If you find a girl you like at the party....you may get to poker

lol good thinking, its not as easy as that though is it?? they all know eachother and id be the outsider, and i also cant play poker to save my life !

if i knew the one i liked fancied me id make an effort, but i dont like the idea of being shown up infront of girls by some cocky 21 year old lads

Gold star for Zorro.

salisbury...young women love older men, it gives them more security and "status"....they probably get bored with the younger immature ones.

"they probably get bored with the younger immature ones" (Zorro) - never ever ever ever ever ever understood this. Surely there are two classes of male: Intellectual and Dense ****? Just 'cos he's older doesn't stop him being the latter, surely?

And how have I just managed to make men sound like car fresheners?

I have pretty much spent the last five years of my life in this scenario, so must make mental note to pay attention.

If they are giving itthe large in your own house, then give them a slap.

Girls also love a tough guy.

That would a "Dense ****", wardy.

def stay home and chat up the sisters friends - even if nothing come of it its practice for getting back on the dating scene... your house so get prepared and everyone will love you e.g. get some spirits in - impress the girls with some cocktails, get some quality beers in and impress the guys with your generosity - get on the internet and quickly get practicing the poker game to impress everyone with your skills ... then suggest strip poker ones the lads have gone home

definately stay at home! i think you will find that the 21 year olds wont be cocky with u as its ure house and ure older than them all! i would think you would be more of an intimidating figure (not in a really bad way but there should be some respect because of both those things) plus, i bet this girl will be flattered that u like her, esp being that little bit older, i bet it will make her night more exciting!
