I’ve been where you are and learned that it’s not that different for some of us who are married. Go out and have a drink. You never know who you will meet or what party you will be dragged into.
@4meAndyou i did that one year at a nightclub. It was also some guys birthday party. So I made small talk with him and he invited me to sit with him. We partied all night.
@4meAndyou I once left a really boring company christmas party and crashed the post office party that was across the hall. They had music and dancing. I met alot of cool people and had a blast.
