Should I go to a party if I don't know anyone?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Just go to the party. It's a social event. Just have the mindset that "you're not there to please anyone." Don't get drunk or do any drugs. If you do, you'll pass out, and they will draw all over you, as well as doing anything else to screw you over, and someone will likely take pictures of you and post them on facebook or something.

Don't think that you have to know everyone. That will make you nervous. Just have some fun.

So it is a high school party, but it isn't your high school? I don't see any problem with going if you are up for socializing for a while (I'm sure it's only for 2-3 hours). Back to school parties are usually real fun because everyone is excited to see everyone and just wants to have fun one more time before the school year gets under way.

High school parties can really differ, though, depend what kind it is. Some high school parties are huge and contain a lot of drinking, so if you're okay with that.... Others might be more calmer and smaller and not have any alcohol involved.

Might want to ask your friend how big the party is supposed to be and if anyone from his school is coming or if it's kind of a "invite only and can bring a friend type party". If it's more than like 50 people and a anyone can show type party, I wouldn't feel out of place at all. Parties are all about meeting new people and letting loose.

If you go, just tell your friend not to ditch you at the party because you won't know anyone. Maybe you can meet new people through him....

I just got back from a huge music festival lasting all weekend. I went by myself and didn't even know most of the bands playing. I had a fabulous time, never lacked for someone to chat with and heard a ton of awesome music.
The secret to talking to people you don't know is to ask questions about them-people love to talk about themselves. If it becomes apparent that the person has nothing in common with you and/or is a bore or a boor, excuse yourself to get another drink or use the restroom and find somebody else. You might make some really good friends.

Wait, is this guy around your age (within 2 years. preferable 1 year.)? No? You might want to find something else to do. Yes? Sure. GO!

Just make sure that:
1) it's safe before you go. Find out if there's other girls, no drugs, etc.
2) you act safe while you're there. Only drink what you poured out yourself. Hold your cup by your fingertips so your palm covers the top. Stay where the group is. No going into rooms alone with a guy - I don't care how hot he is and how hot he thinks you are.

On the fun side: Yea it sounds like a great opportunity to meet new people. It's easy to get talking. Relax and offer a comment on whatever somebody's already talking about ("Oh you saw 'Inception'? Crazy movie, right?"). Or ask questions ("What kind of music you like?" - that's pretty standard).

personal experience - good and bad

dooo it! however, you must do it completely. if you are just a wallflower who doesn't talk to anyone, people will wonder why you are here and who you are. if you socialize people will be like, "she is cool!" it helps to have a friend with you and maybe go talk to the guy you know and try to join in on his conversation. get acquainted with some of his close friends so you can use them to branch out to even more people. its all about the connections and confidence.

Go, If he invited you then you must be some what attractive( no offense). Im guessing your a girl. Soo when you get there he will introduce you to most of his friends obviously unless he's a douche bag. Sooo if they dont start small talk then you obviously can. What school?? how old? how do u know each other? bla bla bla bla bla so on and so forth.

Life.

No...definitely not
It will be super awkward and lame.
Especially not if you are a female bc there are creeper dudes that can try to take advantage of you there if there is alcohol involved.
