Okay so my social life has turned around. A few months ago I pretty much had no friends but I now found my group of 3 other girls and we are pretty close! But this is the first weekend they went home. So I’m here on campus by myself which is okay. Last week I went to a party with my 3 friends and we had a lot of fun. A few hours ago one of the guys who was at the party texted me and asked if my friends and I want to go to the city with them tonight. I really do want to go but I’m scared I won’t have fun since my friends won’t be there with me. Plus I have a bit of social anxiety so if course I am imagining the worse things that could happen.
Do you guys think I should go? Would it be weird if I kinda stayed close with the guy who invited me? I don’t want to seem clingy, but i will just feel safer if I have someone with me by my side. Whenever I go out with my friends we always stick together for safety reasons.
Don’t get drunk, don’t drink anything alcoholic prepared by anyone without a liquor license, and don’t drink anything (including non-alcoholic) that has been out of your sight (an evil person may have added knockout drugs to it).
I do know the guy. I wouldn’t go out with anyone I just met. And I am kinda thinking of not going. :(Unless one of my girl friends ends up coming back to campus soon.
Not to be rude or anything, but College Confidential isn’t really the place to ask, lol. I mean, College Confidential is basically a breeding ground for neurotic, overly paranoid students and parents.
I’m a guy, and even I never go to a party alone. My personal opinion on going to a party with a female friend, if I’m not interested in you, I won’t be interested in taking care of you should you go overboard. So my suggestion is if you don’t think your guy friend will be willing to hold your hair back or carry you home, be responsible and keep your activities in moderation.
You know the answer is no because you are asking us.
Going to the city with people you just met alone? Doesn’t sound like a good idea…if your friends were with you it would be okay. You do not know these guys well enough yet. Tell them that you all are not available this weekend but to ask again in the future.
I personally wouldn’t go to a party alone. Especially if the college is in a bad area. If you’re planning on drinking at this party, make sure you have someone with you just in case something happens. Where I go to college, it’s in a city-like area and there is a lot of crime, especially at night. I would never walk those streets alone, especially if I’m intoxicated.
