So last night, the college threw a little party to welcome the freshman. I decided to go alone since I don't have any friends here yet. When I got there all I saw were people in their own social circles. I couldn't speak to any people because it was blatant that I was going to receive a cold reception.

Might I add that all of the people there looked old (I.e no freshmen) and that this was my first ever party?

I only stayed there for 5 minutes analysing the people there. I realized that these were the type of people who were most likely to bully me when I was younger. I hated them for their potential to try and do that to me again.....but I love how free-spirited the girls are. None of my classmates were there (most of them are almost as nerdy as I am.)

After finishing my analysis I left to gather my thoughts. I walked around the college doing nothing but thinking. Then I saw that there were 2 girls in classes studying. I walked up to them and decided to presocialize.

Me: hi
Her: hi
Me: how ya doing?
Girl: fine, you?
Girl 2: *looks up*
Me: hi
Girl 2: hi
Me: how are you?
Girl 2: fine
Me: I'm fine too, thanks for asking
Girl 2: *blushes*
Me: you ever been to a party before?
Girl 2: yeah
Me: alright guys, I need advice. there's a party happening down at the cafeteria and It'll be my first one. Any pointers?
Girl 2: wow, its your first party?!
Me: yeah
Girl 2: ok, where are your friends?
Me: I don't think they know about the party
Girl 2: oh. That's bad. You can't go to a party alone. You need friends in case you're bored
Me: oh, you've never been to a party alone?
Girl 2: *smiling* nope, but I don't party anymore. I'm a churchgirl now
Me: cool. Well, lemme leave you two to your studies and go make some friends
Girl 2: ok. Enjoy the party

Went back to the party and analysed each individual in detail hoping to find somebody I could get along with. I came up with nobody. However, I came up with some information:

•The music was loud and awesome. It explains why party people sometimes speak loud for no reason.....they've adapted to overcome this.
•The girls there were wearing the sluttiest of clothes ever. But looked cold to outside communication. It seemed that they were ready to get laid, but only by people who were either part of their crew, or some pickup artist who specialised in club game and invading people's social circles (I.e not me......yet)
•If I were to invade a circle, invading one that consisted only of girls would have been the better move, because they seemed more open to outsiders. The initial reaction still would have teetered to the negative side, but warm enough to be changed eventually.
•My conversation game is terrible with the type of girls that were there. I could probably get along with the guys but their overprotective nature around their girls and the fact that I've never spoken or seen them before made them cold.

Girl 2: oh. That's bad. You can't go to a party alone. You need friends in case you're bored

•This sentence made me aware that party girls probably go there in groups. Therefore, if I'm to get laid at parties, I need to fix up my social circles game.

I saw two girls alone consecutively who I tried to talk to. One was standing alone:

Me: hi
Her*looking away with arms crossed*: hi
Me: how's the party?
Her*still closed off*: fine
Me: yeah. Its my first party
Her: *stillness*

At this point I gave up and I casually walked away

Then I saw one girl sitting down

Me: hi
Her: hi
Me: how's the party?
Her: the party's awesome. How is it for you?
Me: I can't tell. Its my first one, I got nothing to compare it to. It seems awesome to me though.
Her: oh, its your first party?
Me: yeah. So you came here alone?
Her: no. My friends are dancing. They should be back any second now (couldn't tell whether she was trying to cover up the shame from being alone or if she was trying to scare me)
Me: oh, cool. What's your name?
Her*body language starting to close off*: my name's blah blah
Me: ok. My name's blah
Her*still closed off*: ok
Me: well, lemme just leave you to your meditation. I'll go make a friend.
Her *closed off*: ok

I spent about 10 minutes analysing and trying to see which group I could invade. Eventually I became exhausted at my realisation that there is an entire section of pickup artistry that I am practically an amateur in. I went back home angry with myself. Saddened by the fact that there were no nearby clubs for me to practice my club and group games in.

I saw more girls alone who I could have approached, but I ignored them like ghosts because I deemed it pointless. All in all I spent an hour out of the house, but only 15 minutes at the actual party which somehow got me exhausted.

Here's how I plan on tackling my situation. I need any input you can supply. All advice is appreciated.

But still.....parties are pretty awesome. The girls there looked top tier.
