Imagine you were invited to a house party and your only connection was one guy hosting the party. Everyone else knew each other from their social circle. How would you approach the situation?
The caveat is that you will be spending the next year living with the guy hosting the party.
For me, this situation is real, so let me explain a little bit further...
I am going to be a college freshman in the fall. One girl I'm friends with connected me to this kid who seems, from Facebook, to be a pretty chill dude. After an hour of chatting online, we decided to room together. I've never met him, but he invited me to a party he's throwing on Saturday. Naturally I accepted the invitation and he's letting me crash on his couch for the night.
First thing I'm going to do is bring with me a 12 pack of his favorite brew as a house warming gift for letting me stay. Also going to try and bring a breathalyzer as a cool item to get some attention.
Normally these types of situations wouldn't bother me (meeting new people), but considering I will be living with this dude, I want to make a good first impression. That means getting respect from hot chicks and being accepted by his friends seem like important things to do.
So I ask again... How would you guys go about this situation?
