Haven't seen a thread on this - so feel free to link to another site if needed.
So - as a foreigner in a somewhat hostile city, I'm thinking of having a house party to expand my social circle beyond the hobbies and bar crowd. Also, I have a pretty big apartment (more than 1,000 sq ft) so also think this would be a way to DHV chicks who ordinarily aren't yet comfortable in coming over. Now, in terms of logistics:
-There are a few girls who I'm interested in and know I'm interested in them - how many of them do I want to limit to in my guestlist - will they talk to each other? Is it bad if they figure out I'm interested in another girl who hasn't put out yet?
-For acquaintances, how do I handle them showing up with people that I'm not cool with
-How should I deal with not inviting people whom I'm not crazy about? There are a few co workers I want to invite but I'm worried that others will find out and resent not coming.
-Male friends - should I just say don't bring dudes unless you clear it with me first?
-What about other dudes at the party hitting on girls that either I or one of my close friends is interested in? I guess the game forum would say that if I'm insecure about her than I have little chance in the first place.
-Music, food, neighbors, hiding my shit, displaying art/books
-Themes/enticements to get people to come (who have otherwise active social lives)
Suggestions?
