Gatsby party - Party of strangers

Kids, tonight was one of the most different nights that I had ever experienced. I saw that one of my American friends was going to a party called "Gatsby" party, and it had a formal dress code (like The Great Gatsby movie). I was very excited to experience something new, so I registered my name in their RSVP. A few hours before leaving, my friend sent me a text that he couldn't come with me. I freaked out, but I decided to go there. I also took Marvin with me.

When we got there, we saw a street full of parked cars. It was hard to find a parking place. Once we parked our car, we walked to the house. We didn't know what to do. Should we knock at the door or ring the bell? I was very confused that I saw three girls going toward the house. We chased them. They rang the bell, and somebody opened the door.



"Welcome. Come in," she said, and we went inside. It wasn't a big house, and it was completely packed. More then 200 were in that house at that time all wearing formal and eye-caching dresses. It was hard to move around. She sat on a chair, and started a conversation with us.

She: Welcome. Thanks for coming. Who has invited you?
Me: (oh my god! Why does she ask me this?) we are not invited by someone, we just saw the event on fb.
She: fb? Really? I didn't know that.
Me: yes. It was an event, and one of my friends were going to come with me, and he cancelled just a few hours ago, but I would like to meet new people, so I decided to come here without him.
She: you are welcome. Do you know what this party is?
Me: no.
She: we are a part of church, and many here know each other because they go to the same church. This party is not anything formal. Mr. Alferd is the landlord, and he threw this party.

I felt safe after she said that they were all related to a church. I didn't want to be in an unsafe party. It was my first time going to such a place.
...

Our conversation was long, and she talked about the church and the people there, and many other things. She also talked about some single girls and introduced me to them. Afterwards, she introduced me to Mr. Alfred. He was an IT recruiter, and he offered me to find a job for me after graduation. He invited me to the backyard to meet new people there.




I stand on a corner, and I watched people there. The music was loud, and some girls were dancing on the other side. I started to think about it:  "It is awesome. I came to somebody's house without knowing even a single person here, and they opened their house's doors for me and welcomed me. It is something that can never happen in my home country. It is like The Sims game. He got some food, put music invitd many people and did everthing to make them have fun.

I was very shy, and since I didn't know anybody, I was completely silent standing in a corner. Marvin was also shy, but I could see him talking to some other guys there. It was like they became friends. A guy saw me alone and approached me. We started to talk. He said, "there are many single girls here tonight. Why don't you talk to them," and he introduced me to three girls there. None of them was as good as what I was looking for. Then, he talked to me about the people there. We had a short conversation, and a Chinese girl joined us. He introduced me to her, and he left us.

I started to talk to that Chinese girl. We talked about bible, God, her job, my job, and many other things. She was kind of interested in me, but she knew that I was way out of her league! So, she didn't even try to grab my attention. "There is a music there; would you like to dance?" she asked.
"Yes. I like. Let's go," I said, and we joined a group of girls whom were dancing there.

It was "Shake it off!" I love you Taylor. You are my best forever. I knew the song, and I started to sing with the song while dancing close to her. She got amused and surprised that I could sing with the song. She had a feeling like flying, and I could see her couldn't stop laughing and having fun with me. We exchanged FB contacts, but I really didn't want to be in touch with her. I just wanted to be nice to her because she was a good person.




I came back inside to get some food. We met a very popular guy who could steal any girl's heart easily. He was charming. We had a conversation with him. Afterwards, we met another guy who introduced us to three other girls.

We talked to a Brazilian girl, Katrina, who was very sociable, warm and nice. She introduced us to another guy. "Look at these two girls. They are good. Nothing is wrong with them. But I am going to tell you to be careful about this one. Katrina, I am going to say something about you," that guy said, and Katrina left us because she didn't want to hear it. "She is very nice. She just brings your heart out of your chest and beat it and throw it away. It's not her fault. It's only because she is so nice. Be careful about her, and don't give your heart to her or you will be heartbroken soon," he continued. I felt that he was in love with her long back, and she let him down for some reasons, but he was right. Even though she was not that pretty, her nice behavior could attract any guy, including me. I talked to her after that, and we had a good conversation, and I got her FB contact, too.


Kids, I can't believe that I did such a thing tonight. I did something that I could never imagine that I could do in my whole entire life. I get along with some strangers whom I have never met before, and I could make some friends. Later, I figured out that it was a party for single people to meet and find a partner.

Marvin liked it. I liked it, too. It was a truly new experience. I was very shy at the beginning, but I could overcome it, and I started to talk to them. There was not even a single pretty girl that I like there. I just liked that Brazilian girl a little, but I don't want to put myself in a trouble again. I prefer Ann or Talory better than any other girl now.
