Would You Go / Have You Gone to a Party by Yourself?

A friend of mine recently freaked when he found out I have gone to some parties by myself. I don't see the big deal as long as I know its a safe environment. Its mostly invite only parties with a strict guest list (so I can't really bring friends even if I tried). Or sometimes, when I am with friends, I get ancy and wander around trying to meet new people or meet some guys or something. Too independent?I only know one other friend who does this - so thought I'd put this out there and see who else would do / have done this. And if this is something acceptable to do. I always thought it was - but maybe someone can enlighten me as to why it is not okay?
Just to be clear I keep it safe - strict guest list, I buy my own drinks/run my own tab, and I have my own transportation (cab/car reservations) regardless of distance from my place.Would You Go / Have You Gone to a Party by Yourself?
I only party on Half Life 2 Deathmatch.Would You Go / Have You Gone to a Party by Yourself?
Who cares if you arrive by yourself? All that matters is whether or not you leave by yourself.
yeah it cool. people chill on their own soemtimes. friends can be a drag sometimes
Saje,it all about being responisble since you are female. but since the way you describe it you are,than no there is nothing wrong with it.

That is true. I actually try to make it a rule to leave with the people I come with. And I would never take anyone back to my place. Or go to their place for that matter. Just doesn't seem kosher in my book.
No and no. Im not really a mingling type of person.

yeah but if you go with a friend and they arent having agood time they can ruin the fun and you have to worry about them etc
Yeah but I don't find it weird or anything. I mean, even if I arrive by myself, it's not like I'm gonna hang out by myself when I'm there; I'm gonna hang out with the people there and stuff.
Yeah just go have a good time and leave. Its as simple as that...

Yeah that's what I was trying to point out to my friend. I get the concern - but I'm an adult and responsible.
Does go alone to a party where friends are count as going alone? Otherwise I haven't. I have been invited to some parties though where I would show up alone... But when I am on the way from a party, I am on the way home, not to another party.
I ve only been in two parties in my whole life. yes i would arrive alone i went to one again( which i don t think i will in a LONG time)

No as in you are your lonesome self in the party UNTIL you make new friends is what I mean.
As long as you not harmed, it's fine to go solo

I have a group of friends who I can bring to parties knowing that they are similar enough to me that I do not have to babysit. But if a friend is not having a good time for legitimate reasons, as a friend, we'll all just go to another party. They would do the same for me.
Naahh and nahhh
Saje,



I'm guessing you might see a gender split in the answers. In general, I would think that guys both feel more comfortable and are a bit safer going to a party by themselves than gals are.



I've gone to a party on my lonesome, but I have to admit it wasn't that much fun. Having a wingman (wingwoman?) to go with you makes these things a lot less stressful and more enjoyable. Just my personal two cents worth.
I'm always told to have a plan from my chain of command so I guess as long as you stick to your plan and the night ends well then there is no harm in going solo once every so often as long as you make it clear to your friends, if you arrived with them, that your not ditching them, your just socializing.I've been to a fair few parties solo and left by myself, or I've seen someone I know (usually a chick) and I've walked her home so I know she's ok.
I always try to include my friends, no matter what, even if it's just one person. The only time I remember going to a party by myself was when my friends were convinced it wasn't worth the $50 ticket price (it was a private party, we would have known or known of everyone in the building) . I went and had an almost indescribable time.They all regret not going :roll:. Other than that we threw most of the recent parties we've been too.
