How to Get Invited to H.S. Parties

[Skarlo]

So I'm a fairly social guy. I play sports and can talk to people easily. However I'm not really the type of guy that attends parties a lot, first as I haven't been invited to one but more importantly because I'm not that close with any of those type of people. I do know them from sports on a friendly basis but I don't hang out with them or anything. I think it is partly because I do good in school and gets good grades. However I'm definitely not studying everyday at home, I like to have fun and definitely am not a social recluse. Some issues are that although I could hang out with some of these guys I know, I have a little trouble around new people I haven't met and pretty girls. I'm not awkward or anything, but all I do is "low risk", or I only say what couldn't possibly be taken as weird or on the other hand funny/outgoing. As a result I take very little risks around new people/girls and there is little reward.

What would you recommend I do to be more social and thus get invited to more events?

Just show up.

You solved the problem in your Own question.. You're apparently not funny/outgoing around people you dont know well. Things aren't as awkward as you think they are unless you constantly think so, people are simple.

You're not cool get over it, just pay the $5 buck to get in. Or just show up if they recognize you they'll let you in.

Make friends with people that smash the weekly parties.. Being in the know is all about connections

gotta put urself out there dood, ive got friends who went to parties often but didnt invite me because our friendship kind of drifted apart but im sure if i asked theyd let me go, although would prob be skeptical

if u act like u r and r kind of shy, gotta do some outgoing things to show that u can have a good time without overthinking things

Can't remember the last time I had to pay to get in to a party lol

Just make friends with people who party, and one day ask "anything going down tonight?" That simple. They're not going to check the popular list and see that you don't party, they'll just tell you if anything's going down lol. And if anything is, show up. Maybe bring some friends (only if they're cool or girls.) Once you go to one party and have a good time, people start inviting you to parties. The more parties you go to, the more you get invited to them
