The people from the club I joined invited me to the first party and I actually really enjoyed myself and it seems like they included me in everything they did (beer pong and everything).

The next party was equally as welcoming and in the end I think it was a very good night for me. I'm not even complaining about going to sleep alone tonight, I think tonight was a vast improvement over any other night.

I think the issue is parties at my house v. parties at others'

That actually is a big thing. I typically enjoy big parties at other people's houses over my own because I don't have to worry about the mess etc.


See, you had 2 good nights out and you kept a POSITIVE attitude. Everything can pretty much be explained in terms of your thoughts about everything. positive attitudes typically yield positive results, and I applaud you on avoiding a fight with a handshake, it takes the better man to pull that off and I commend you for it.


Also, one other piece of advice (which I think you are already on the right track but just to reinforce it): Whether you go to bed alone or with someone is completely irrelevant to the night you are having. You have to completely remove the goal of getting in bed with someone to enjoy your night, once you can achieve this (and have fun without such concerns) the time WILL EVENTUALLY come...patience is a true virtue. Trust me, I used to be pretty much exactly like you and the minute I forced myself to stop caring if I would get lucky or not, I got lucky
