I don't know anyone at my college; I want friends, parties, and hookups April 15, AM Subscribe I'm finally realizing that even though I'm at a huge school, people won't just magically come to me, so I'm trying to make new friends, go new places, and enjoy myself.
I want to be the guy that everyone knows, who is always busy. Problem is, I don't understand how to start since I don't know anyone, and since I've been in this situation for two years now, I can't play the "new in town" card anymore.
There are a few things that I can't wrap my head around. How do I make friends in my classes? I'm friendly, I talk to everyone I sit near, but I don't understand how to actually do things with them. I can't invite them to lunch right then and there since I normally have other classes right afterwards; I can't invite them to any parties because I don't know of any.
I don't consider myself shy, but it seems really strange to jump from "we sit next to each other in Spanish" to "know of any parties this weekend? How do I meet people in bars and clubs? Most people seem to go in groups, and I'd do that if I could, but right now it would just be me, alone.
Do people really just go to bars are start talking to strangers? What do I say? Details: I'm male, 24 years old, and go to a large school well-known for partying. I'm trying to break out of my shell a little and have more of a social life here at Party U. Know of anything going on this weekend?
