Nervous to attend a party? Ask people about themselves…it always works!

Going to parties alone can be brutal: you don’t know anyone, you have to arrive alone and you don’t have a for sure dance partner. When in doubt, ask people questions! Everyone loves talking about themselves and asking people some simple questions will get the ball moving in the direction of friendship.

The biggest plus to attending functions alone is that you are bound to meet new people. You are not restricted by the friends you are with or the date you brought. You are free to talk to whom ever you like for as long as you like… just don’t forget to ask some questions!

Don’t ever assume someone’s pregnant. Just don’t…

As a rule, you should never comment on someone’s weight unless you notice they have lost weight. This would then be an encouragement. However, don’t go overboard. Excessively telling someone how thin they look now might make them feel that they were the opposite of thin before. Think before you speak, ladies!
