I'm not sure how invite only parties work when you're in your 30s. My crowd is 19-20, and i'll explain with an example from this weekend how cockblocking is a huge problem for me;
We started the night with a drinking game, as usual. The game lasted for about an hour, 3 of my friends got pretty drunk, again, as usual. After the game was finished I started talking to a girl that I wanted to take home that night. We hit off pretty quick. While im talking to her, one of my friends that got pretty drunk during the game starts wanting to give me fist bumps, because it looks to him that its going well between me and the girl. At this point its to early to move the girl anywhere more quiet, and what he's doing is actually kind of irritating me. I keep talking to the girl, and i get her to move with me to the kitchen. Away from all the loud music and people. However that usually keeps my friends away for max 10 minnutes. In this case another friend of mine that also got really drunk during the drinking game comes to us and starts talking to me about all the wierd shit the rest of the people are doing back where we were. I tell him that im not intrested of course, but that dosent really matter to him, or any of my other friends for that matter. They keep showing up, 3-4 with the same information and they come back when something new has happened. And something new happens very often.
This time, both me and the girl had a friend at the party who werent drinking for various reasons, and as other people got more and more drunk they kept spending more and more time with us. I eventually mannaged to get my friend to fuck off and go hook up with a chick, but her friend just wouldnt leave, and i ended up having to ask her to join me at my house infront of her friend, which she really wanted to do but since her friend was there i couldnt really push as much as i wanted to and she wouldnt really say yes infront of her friend either, so i setteled for a phone number and a chance to get her alone another time.
Would love to have this not happen more than it already has. Any advice?
