Improve my social life

Bought a book on how to have conversations with anyone.
Accepted some invites
Made plans with my husband’s friend’s girlfriend

after my dalring husband arranges for people to come to our house for a BBQ I disappear with out eating and only surface again 3 hours later to clean up. I did this to avoid the confrontation as I was so annoyed at the vultures – before my husband and I could have sat at the table the entire green salad was gone and looking at the left overs there was one piece of steak left – and only one couple contributed to the meat, the rest came out of our fridge. So about seven pieces of steak, a dozen pieces of chicken and a dozen sausages were eaten by five men and 3 women. There was probably enough coleslaw and potato salad left that I could have had with the meazly piece of steak and half a dozen slices of barbequed pineapple that was left.
Of course the fact that I am 26 weeks pregnant and can not drink whilst they all are didn’t help either, nor did the 2 year old son causing issues with one guest’s 4 year old daughter and him constantly getting dirty in the garden beds.
I should also mention that of the seven guests none are married and only one has a child – so I think it is difficult for me to improve my social life with that group of my husband’s friends.
Well, they continue to party and I’m off to bed now.

it was moved forward a week. It was good, but I always wake up the next day feeling bad after social gatherings. I can’t place my finger on it. I really wish I knew what created that bad feeling.
It probably explains why I have a limited social life – because I don’t like how it makes me feel the next day.

I’ve planned another family fun date and a bbq this week for next week.
It may not be massive but it is am improvement

Been working on this by making more internet connections with local people – trying all sorts of angles. Wednesday I meet another 3 mums for a play date. Hopefully I make at least one friend out of that. I’d like for them to be more than acquaintances that just say hi in passing.

I met someone new today and whilst on the one hand I walked away really happy on the other hand I still felt socially inept.
They did all the getting to know you conversation – they started it and asked lots of questions and I answered them all with detailed informative responses but I didnt’ ask too many questions at all.

They know so much about me – the goal for next meeting is to have a list of questions to ask.

I think maybe I’m socially inept! My husband has heaps of friends and my son is loved by all but I can count my friends on one hand – oh and most of those fingers have moved to the otherside of the country!!

I know that the problem is me – I know that I don’t exactly make people want to be around me. Actually I can definitely say that I want to be one of those happy bubbly people that always have friends that make the first move in social situations and befriend the new guy – I need to be more extroverted!!
