Some Helpful Social Tips When At A Super Bowl Party!!!!!

With the Super Bowl being only days away I thought that it would be a COOL TWIST to talk about the social awkwardness that comes with being in settings where you may not know all of the people present but have to figure out a way to enjoy yourself!!! I figured that so many other blogs and websites would discuss the upcoming Super Bowl from an angle of what dishes to prepare and cool decorations!!! I instead wanted to tackle an issue that often happens to many of us!!!

I have attended quite a few Super Bowl parties over the years.....and at times felt the SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS in the room because the type of crowd/guests that were present might not have been who I would have ORGANICALLY clicked with. However, I would always strive to put my best foot forward to make the MOST out of this UNCOMFORTABLE situation lol! Hopefully the below tips will be helpful to you if you find yourself in this type of scenario!!

• I find that if you are attending someone else's Super Bowl party that it is ALWAYS a great idea to come bearing gifts.....such as liquor, beer, an appetizer, etc! The host will definitely feel appreciative of the nice gesture!
• Come with the POSITIVE attitude that you are going to have a GREAT TIME!
• Don't be afraid to engage in conversation with the other guests.....even if your main ice breaker question is "What team are you rooting for?"
• When in doubt......pay attention to the game this way, you have a GO TO REASON as to why your a bit more reserved than everyone else lol!!!
• Ask the host if she/he needs help with anything!!! 
• If you are single, scan the room to see if there is anyone who catches your eye!!! I remember when I was single....any type of social event was a potential opportunity to meet a COOL guy!!!
• Inquire ahead of time if you can bring a friend. I have done this on an occasion or two...especially when I knew that I would not know anyone at the party! It never hurts to have a wing man or woman!!!
  

Hopefully some of these tips will be of help to you during any potential socially awkward situations when you attend the Super Bowl party that you were invited to!! 

I do not even know which team I want to win....however I will have a good time EITHER WAY!!! What I will say is that A TRULY GOOD HOST will make all efforts to SET THE TONE of comfortability and a judgment free zone...this way the guests will feel more relaxed and open to  interacting with people who they do not know!!!
