girl invited me to come out w/her this weekend. Should I go?

[Production6257]

There's this girl that has been asking me to come out and party with her and her friends. This is probably the third time she asked. The problem is that I have only a few friends, which means virtually no social proof. On top of this the friends that I do have can't do anything the night that her and her friends are going out. This means it would basically be all of them, and just me with absolutely no social backing. Now, I'm pretty awkward as it is, and I think I'd have trouble just coming into their group and socializing when they already have their own little thing going. So, what should I do? I don't want to be the odd man out and end up just standing there by myself nursing a beer the whole party. I feel like that would hurt me more than it would help. Is it a risk worth taking?

Good gosh man, she's going to introduce you to her friends so, BE FRIENDLY WITH THEM, HAVE A GOOD TIME! She'll be more impressed with how you interact with her friends than watching you hang out with people you already know.

Of course you should go, it doesnt matter if you have social proof or not.

if you start to get awkward with her group, just up and leave, it's easy as that. learn from what you did wrong, and improve.
