Nervous about party, need tips :(

Question

Hi I'm 16 years old (male) and I'm going to a party tonight and i basically don't know anyone at the party except my friend. I'm kinda shy, especially shy around girls (only had 1 girlfriend my whole life) I need some guidance as something thats supposed to be fun is turning into something I'm beginning to dread

Answer 1

introduce yourself to people and say some funny stuff. Do something crazy, people like others who make them laugh, unless they're total a**holes, which you're likely to have at least one there, but you dont want to be friends with them anyway. good luck!!!

Answer 2

make eye contact with everyone and act as if u would around ur family. but not creepy stares

Answer 3

heres what ya do...

1. chillax! if u act nervous, nobody will want to be around you! (i learned that the hard way)

2. act like you own the place, but not too "im too good for you"

3. set the vibe, be the life of the party! jokes, being funny, kind...thats what girls like in a guy!

4. FLIRT! but dont zero in on one girl all night, check out everyone!

5. Move around and introduce yourself, once you've met more ppl, you wont be glued to your friends side!

TIPS: if you see somebody you like, talk it up! or join the convo with her friends (jealousy never hurt)

girls might make fun of you, but trust me if its just playfully, its flirting, we do it all the time, just dont take it the wrong way

show body language, like lock eyes for a second or two, but put on a smile

there is GOING to be drinks, i no it trust me....so my advice, dont you might end up wasted and thats not good :( ppl might b hooking up too....

hope this helps

4eva and always! <3 ya!

Answer 4

First of all dont be nervous, think of this as a good way to meet new people.  Just try to mix and mingle your way into conversations with various people.  At first, it may seem overwhelming but hopefully your friend will help you navigate and even introduce you to a few people.  You're just meeting new people and making some friends.  Keep the conversation light and talk about things like sports (Olympics!), tv, music, movies, back to school, getting your DL, cars....

Most of all, relax & enjoy yourself.  Be confident and hold your head up high!  Knock 'em dead!  HAVE FUN & be safe!!

Answer 5

Look up some funny jokes to tell.

Or, you could see what's going on in the news.

Don't be afraid talking to girls, we are just as nervous.

Have fun and be yourself.  

Answer 6

Everyone at this party probably feels the same way you do. Work with that, talk about intrests and hobbies to both guys and girls. You will be fine. People in general like meeting new folks not in their 'crowd'.

Have fun!

Answer 7

There's a lot of misconception about talking to girls when you're young and how it'll all go away when you get older. It's all a big lie. It never goes away. Rest assured that the shy guys have girlfriends, get married just like everybody else.

Answer 8

if you don't know anyone its the perfect opportunity to be who you want. You may not have to see these people again, or at least you are starting with a clean slate. in my opinion girls and even guys respect confidence so just talk about what you know. if you care about something and know it well it is much easier to be confident in the confersation, instead of trying to impress and talking rubbish.
