"So, last night I went on a &amp;quot;date,&amp;quot; and I call it a &amp;quot;date&amp;quot; because it wasn&amp;#039;t really a date. Although it wasn&amp;#039;t like going out with a friend and it wasn&amp;#039;t like going out with a potential boyfriend either - it was something aimlessly in-between. So for the sake of this story, I&amp;#039;m calling it a &amp;quot;date&amp;quot;. Anyway, back to my point, it&amp;#039;s his birthday today and on our date, he invited me to his birthday dinner... along with 30 of his friends. Now some of you may be thinking, &amp;#039;so what?&amp;#039; but this is my biggest fear realized - meeting all his friends at once. To me it&amp;#039;s like standing in front of Simon Cowell, naked, singing and dancing to Summertime by New Kids On The Block - e.m.b.a.r.r.a.s.s.i.n.g. A part of me wants to cancel but another part of me wants to get over my fear. And besides I have nothing better to do tonight :) Do you have any tips on how I can keep my cool and make a good impression on his friends? I need all the help I can get!
