Re: More GTG Chatter.....

If I go to this one, it will be my first. I have attended LIW gtgs in the past, but it was only with the 06 girls. I must admit, I am a little nervous as well since I don't really know anyone.

Re: More GTG Chatter.....

I have been to a few...

some people were exactly what i expected, some weren't at all...

What makes the difference really is size

the bigger the size the less you get to talk with people

especially if you sit at a table...

once you are at a table you will rarely get to talk with people who are not close to you.....which s*cks

Smaller GTG are usually better IMO.

Re: More GTG Chatter.....

It definitely isn't my first GTG, and I at everyone that I've attended, I have found everyone to be very friendly and sociable.

No surprise to anyone, but I tend to be on the quiet side with a big group of people. I'm usually much more of a listener/observer than a big talker, but if you get me started, it can be hard to get me to shut up!

I agree as well. I had a GTG for LIW last year in my yard. About 8 girls showed up and it was great because we were all able to talk to each other. However I have also been to larger gtgs and was only able to speak to those immediately around me.

I think this GTG is going to be a large one.

I have a tiny voice. I sound 5. When people call me they ask if my mommy is home. Hee hee

I'm really shy when I'm with people I don't know well.

i think at the beginning of hte GTG people can be on the shy reserved side....

some people are just loud...and that is good because it usually eases that tension...

But i think that having a atmosphere where people can feel they can mingle is best...

sitting at a table is almost the kiss of death...cause then you have to almost fight to talk to people...
and getting up to talk to someone is odd

jess....i am sure you will warm up once you are there for a few...

Re: More GTG Chatter.....

I have never been to a GTG and won't be at this one either...but, I hope one day I will be at one.

I know I would definitely come off shy at first...but, after throwing back a few I'll be fine. And, I would be soooo nervous that no one would really want to talk to me...Chat Icon

I have only been to one, with three more girls and it felt like we knew eachother forever.

I'm sure if it will be different with this one.

Re: More GTG Chatter.....

I alwyas chicken out of GTGs.

The paranoia comes out

"nobody likes me anyway"

And like, I am not usually one to go up to people and say hi. I get shy!

Re: More GTG Chatter.....

I have been to gtg's from LIW -- and there's the initial weirdness of approaching "strangers" then after about 5 minutes the conversations get going and it's like running into old friends. It's unique in this way but a lot of fun at the same time.

This has happened at both large (papa joes in 2003) and smaller gtg's for me.
