...much of a dancer, so I spend my time at parties just talking to people (hitting on girls). The only problem is that the music is generally so loud that I can’t understand a word coming out of their mouths. It gets real awkward when I ask “What?” six times in a row, so I start to guess at what they’re saying. While a girl gabs on about something that I can’t hear, I randomly alternate between responding with “Yeah...

...last piece of advice is to not get discouraged or intimidated by awkward situations. There is no avoiding them, so just go with it. Plus, they can be really funny. And if you find yourself at a party with no one to talk to, just look for me. I’ll be in the corner avoiding people while talking on my cell phone. Don’t be afraid to interrupt me, though. There’s no one on the other...
