I'm having a party tomorrow night and there's the girl i like who may be coming, my best friend, another friend who both like each other but they don't know that and there two friends that are in their band a boy and a girl who go out are invited and i don't know what to say to them.

They're both what people call "moshers" liking rock music basically. i like that sort of music but don't know a lot about it I'm more a sports person.

what should i say to them?

ps i have met them a few times and have spoke to them a bit

cupidus agony auntI plan a mosh football game, that'd be a riot, especially to heavy metal music.. Whoo,. maybe a whole new sport.

After the game, conversation will be spilling from everyone.

Or blood.. have a safety medical kit as the prize, they may need it. Of course the party is probably over, how did it go?

Moshball RULES...

Just be yourself and act cool as a cucumber... Just cos they like different things to you doesn't necessarily mean you can't get on. Try to varry the conversation on from last time too if you get stuck, and make small talk too :) good luck!

Talk to them like they're human beings. And make the conversation about them; if they're worth it they'll do the same for you.

I'm not a natural at this, but a friend of mine came up with something that I try and keep in mind when I'm in a conversation with someone new.

If someone tells you that they have to mow the lawn, my natural inclination is to relate it to myself as in "Oh, I know. I have to mow mine too" The better response would be like "So, what are you going to do about? How do you think that's going to work out?"

The harder you try to look cool, the more likely you are to fail. You're a jock and you don't know a lot about the bands they like? Tell them you're interested in checking some new music out and ask for suggestions.
