I don't wanna go!

[Glib Gurl]

So, there's a networking reception tonight that I intended to go to . . . but I don't wanna. *pout* Yes, I know I should go, that life is not going to greet me at my front door, and that if I want to meet a professional man I should be going to these types of events. But I don't wanna go! These are all such dog and pony shows . . . 15 women for each man . . . all of the gals hovering in the corners, sipping their white wine, pretending that they actually are there to do something other than snag a Brooks Brotha.

My co-worker invited me out to dinner (she has to sample some restaurants for an out of town delegation she's hosting next week) so I will probably just do that instead . . . mabye I'll pop into the event afterwards.

*shrug*

How do you deal when you don't wanna go to social events?

When you don't wanna go to social events, I just simply don't go.

But that's pretty easy for me since I'm an extreme introvert.

Yeah but I never want to go out . . . so I will die. alone. (I'm just kidding . . . I'm not actually feeling that bad about it, but still . . . gotta do the single girl rant every once in a while.)

If you really don't feel like going don't go.

I never feel like going because I am introverted but I go 9 times out of 10 now and I always have a good time and a good flirt.

You will feel so much better once you are out mingling. Mr.Right(okay) may be there. I tell my single friends ain't no man going to knock on your door and say I am your man. Let it be known Glib is in the building

I thought you said you were outgoing?

 

[hopeful]

I'm like Pooh Bear, I just don't go. I am very picky about where I go. But since you are trying to get out of a rut and want to meet folks I think you should go. What helps me is I always give myself an out so that if I want to leave early I can.

Thanks for the thread Glib. I have a similar event scheduled for this Friday and I'd made up my mind not to attend-- I love my own company-- but I agree staying home isn't going to work if I want to meet folks. Urgh!

Oh yeah, it was dutch chocolate, wasn't it? That's what I meant.

They broke up in early October. Glib blogged about it.

Well how did it go?

I usually have a drink then just go.
