Think as you like but behave as you must…
You’ll be fine, you just need to play the part.

Good answer,but it’s a massive issue,if i go the acting will wane and the i will be accused of spoiling the night out.

I feel the same way. I don’t like going out to awkward social situations, but I do occasionally and sometimes even end up having a good time. I say keep an open mind and give it a go. That’s part of being in a relationship.

Oasis (the shock of the lightning is a terrific song, also the album is great!)
Back to your issue, don’t worry, you show up, shake hands, ask for tonic and a slice of lemon, and pretend you drink, or even in a smoother move, coke (1/3) and mineral water (2/3) it would look like scotch on the rocks.
Listen to the conversation, say a couple of things that you know will not alienate the people against you, stay there as much as you can resist, then ask your gf to leave and do not say things like, I don’t like that people, if she asks, say, “it was a nice night thank you for inviting me”
You have to be politically correct in this kind of situations, if you start feeling uncomfortable, remember a good time you had that you know will make you smile (for me, a Simpsons episode works fantastic) You’ll be fine :)

I want to attend an Oasis gig before I die, it’s my favorite band in the whole world since the release of Definitely Maybe back in ‘94 lol
I hope the latin-amrican leg of the tour hits somewhere close to me :D

These are the types of issues that couples have to negotiate. I dislike parties, I don’t drink, and I hate crowds. But, my wife is very social, and likes to go out and have a good time. If there is something that she really wants me to do, I do it. Otherwise, she goes out without me a lot, and I get to stay home, by myself, which I love. Suck it up. If you aren’t resistant, you’ll most likely end up having a good time.

You could go and just get incredibly drunk. Then I bet you’d have some fun.

@tiny,i like to go out,it’s New Years and it’s going to be madness out there.
I know me!
Fact is,if i am in this mindset now i will carry it through to the bars and probably end up ballsing the night for us both.

@Random,it’s an option.

Good luck. Personally, I’m beyond the stage of wanting to go out anymore, too. Been there, done that. Too many crazies out anymore that many times take innocent people with them. So I know where you’re coming from. Wanna come party with us? Just going to be about 8 of us, good food, good people & good drinks. If you catch a plane now….......

Well Squirrel,the offer would be better than whats going to happen in 30 mins,if i come to yours in the microwave i could be there in 20 mins.

All the best to you all,4hrs to go over here.

ALL THE BEST SQUIRRELL

And a good 2009 to you, too. :-)
