<p>By yourself?</p>
<p>I've been to a few, but I've usually had a couple friends there as well. I would like to go to another, but I don't really know anyone that's going. I might recognize a few people, but that's probably it.</p>
<p>So is talking/hanging out with random people normal? Would people be open to it? Any suggestions for a situation like this? In the past I've just talked to people I knew better, and I was wondering what the general etiquette is.</p>
<p>Nope. You’re not allowed to speak to anyone unless you are within 3 degrees; IE you know their barber’s neighbor’s daughter. </p>
<p>Otherwise it’s just rude.</p>
<p>depends on if its a lame party or not</p>
<p>You’re right, you go through life knowing everybody right? You’re so right. </p>
<p>There’s not one point in your life when you don’t know somebody and interact with them. Wait. </p>
<p>Everyone who eventually becomes your friend is random at one point in your encounter. This is no different.</p>
<p>Come on guys, lay off him. It’s a legit question. It can be awkward to be the only guy that doesn’t know anyone at a party, especially if everyone there knows basically everyone else. It’s also very awkward if you just hang out by the wall.</p>
<p>It’s perfectly fine at parties where everyone doesn’t know everybody, though, and especially if you’re willing to interact with people you don’t know. Drinking games are probably the best way. Quarters is my favorite but if theres beer pong going on find some attractive girl and ask if she wants to play, offering to drink for her if she doesn’t like beer.</p>
<p>Unless you’re good looking, sociable and/or people naturally gravitate towards you, it probably wouldn’t end up being that fun.</p>
<p>If you’re open to it and a little rejection its a great time to learn to be sociable though.</p>
<p>It’s not lame; it just requires a very open-minded, sociable individual to have fun. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Why would you go to a party where you don’t know ANYONE?</p>
<p>I find that hard to believe. How would you even hear about it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why would you interact with anybody at all through the course of a given day? They’re people you don’t know right…maybe to meet new people? </p>
<p>DuH!</p>
<p>Yeah. It’s weird.</p>
<p>the weirdest part is that if you dont know anyone, you’re coming uninvited.</p>
