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?

Get drunk, high, and go about doing what I normally do. Bringing the breathalyzer as a prop is a great idea. I'd be your friend for at least 38 seconds if you brought one of those, giving you the chance to wow me in the mean time. It's a great way to become the centre of attention for a while. Only piece of advice is: don't black out and do anything anti social (actually anti social, not PC SWPL "anti social behaviour"). If you go straight to the hottest chick there, you'll probably get respect from the dudes, as well

"Hey, how's it going? How do you know X? Cool! I'm his roommate this year, Y. Let's play some beer pong."

-Be chill, laidback and the life of the party, without being obnoxious.

-If you have trouble holding your alcohol down, drink less than normal. Better to be the cool chill guy, then the guy who fell out of a window and got the party shutdown

-Talk to EVERYONE. Is the house/apt where you're going to be living? Then introduce yourself as 'Joe's new roommate for school and you'll be seeing more of me. Let's do a shot/have a beer'

-Flirt with the girls and if it's a fun party and you have an iota of game you'll at least makeout. Do it in front of people and you'll get big player points. Guys will want to be you and girls will want to fuck you (if she's cute at least). No fatties.

-Have fun! I miss college house parties. This can be the funnest time of your life, seriously. Enjoy it.

The biggest piece of advice I can give you is do not under any circumstance get drunk or high. Besides that be your normal self.

Cool. Thanks for the advice guys. Will definitely be referring to all of this advice as Saturday comes closer.

Bring some moonshine and some crystal light packets, a couple joints and a nasal spray bottle full of blow. Hang in the kitchen and open girls with "my buddy brewed this moonshine in Georgia" and wait for them to be curious enough to drink some. Have two beers outside and wait, take a couple tokes of the joint and put it out. When you see the girls getting buzzed stand up and say "I have a nasal spray bottle full of coke in my car"

Then grab a beer and walk out, take two more hits off the weed and wait for the first hot girl to approach you, grab her pull into the bath room and hand her the coke then start making out with her and put her hand on your cock, then bend her over the toilet with the spray bottle on the lid and insert your penis in her vagina...

Go back and join the party, try to do this three times during the night.

Hosting a party is work. You do not get to be a guest, you are a host. Your job is to establish your household as a cool place with cool guys. Make sure you pay your share of the bill for the house party.

Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola has more cachet than a 12 pack of beer. It also has the advantage of being able to regulate the amount of alcohol in people's drinks. Their first drink should be a two count pour of jack, either pouring together over ice or jack first then coke on top, then add ice. But for the drunks "ghost" the drink: Fill with ice first, then coca-cola almost to the rim, then a bit of jack on top. Their first sip will be strong... and after that it will be all coke.

Make yourself useful. Make cocktails. Pour beer. Either is a DHV because it establishes you as the gatekeeper to goodies. Be prepared to spend an evening herding drunks. Which you can't do if you're drunk yourself, sorry.

The girls will probably be booze hounds. They will drink everything in sight, too damn quickly for their own good. Vomitting girls with the tremors that you have to put in the bathtub with some sheets to cushion their head are kinda a party killer. Just as a horse can drink so much water it will kill itself bursting its own belly, you need to regulate the amount of alcohol for their own good. You want to restrict them to 2 oz of hard alcohol every 30 minutes, especially with inexperienced drinkers with low alcohol tolerances. (You might mix it with punch, but it's classier to just give them glasses full of ice and just pour it in straight.) It's okay to tell a girl, "I need to see how the last one effects you before you get your next one." "Nurse this one longer." and "I'm making you wait a little longer."

When they're really drunk, they'll get "tunnel vision" and won't be able to see more than 4 feet away from them. You can change the topic of conversation by just distracting them. "Hey, look over there! It's <random funny shit you make up>." is generally enough to nudge their boring whining into something else. If they're near your serving station and just whining about how they want more, pick them up over your shoulder, walk into another room, and set them down there. They will be distracted and forget in their drunkeness whatever they were talking about. Learn the Fireman's Carry. You want to be fun with social drinkers, and mean to booze hounds that get too drunk and won't remember what you say, anyways. Anyone so stupid to get too drunk, it's amusing to play tricks on them like taping signs to them or give them weird things to carry around like sex toys and inflatable cocks.

Meanwhile be upbeat, have fun energy, and don't talk about any topic very long. Ask questions. Seek out the non-drinking wallflowers and make contact with them too, "This is pretty crazy, huh? What are you doing for summer?" Talk with everyone at the party at least once, and remember, guys are just ugly women you warm up your openers with to get over your social anxiety, you talk to them too. Establish a new social circle for yourself and your household. And remember every stupid thing they say when they're drunk. You'll have great openers of "You were the girl who said she was a lamp shade last week." and other shit. Me, I keep a pen and paper near where I'm serving and take notes. There will be so much pure gold they'll burble out you'll need to write it down to keep track of it all.

Best .... Time .... Ever!

Just go around and talk to people.

Love the responses.

A couple of things: I will absolutely be drinking at this party. Not doing so would be pretty much social suicide.

Also, I will not technically be the host at this party, and I suspect the host himself (my future roommate) will get quite drunk as well.

Was reading How To Win Friends and Influence People and it gave these six tips for getting people to like you. Thought it was on topic:

1 Become genuinely interested in other people.
2 Smile
3 Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
4 Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
5 Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
6 Make the other person feel important

I was talking to Sleek on Facebook just then not realizing it was Saturday night over there. He's drunk, let's hope he's got it under control

Really fun night. Let's recap:

I get to my future roommate's house at 9:30 PM. I figured that was pretty late, but he told me to come then, so I did. I get to the house and he takes me to the basement. I walk down and everyone in the basement erupts with cheers. Apparently, I was the guest of honor.

This was cool. A lot of the girls were introducing themselves to me. Everyone wanted to take shots with me. Everyone was comparing the mutual friends we had. My roommate is apparently a popular dude and being introduced "on his level" made me cool by association.

After a few shots, one girl was telling my roommate to my face that I was cool. I also spent some time playing beer pong with a friend of my roommate (going to the same university) and he noted how chill I was. All ego boosts are accepted here.

When I got there, I was talking to a couple of my roommate's friends (Adam and Steve). Adam was joking with Steve that he was a metrosexual; Steve was getting mildly offended. Most people would join in on the "bashing" of Steve, but I did the opposite. I said something to Adam like: "Don't hate on Steve because he likes to wear nice clothing." Steve liked me for saying that, and Adam also gained respect for me because I didn't buy into his frame.

At about 10:30 or so, I pulled out the breathalyzer. Immediate hit. Everyone wanted to blow. Was even better when everyone was blowing .10-.15 and I blow a .24.

I made connecting with people my priority, not getting girls. I succeeded in that regard.

There were opportunities for me to be ruthless and take a risk on a couple of cute girls, but the girls weren't giving strong enough interest. I wanted to makeout with Sarah because she was all over me, not because I was chasing her all night. It wasn't a big deal though.

Looking forward to my roommate coming to my town and showing him a good time.

Thank you all again for the quality advice.
