That's so super brave of you! I'm sure it's much appreciated by that other "wallflower", & makes you both feel more comfortable.

But the talking-to-people aspect would have me shakin in my boots :) In those situations where I have to, I usually use a similar approach - find another nervous-looking alone person and say hello.

I'm so excited! @Alisha - Ain't it funny when you're someone who doesn't get big anxiety over social situations (heck, you even love 'em/thrive there), and yet you prevent yourself from going & doing just that! Yay for the garlic in my pocket :) @Sarah - Yes, half the battle is showing up! And I realized right away that everyone at the event had at least one thing in common: blogging! So right away there was something to talk about, which made it that much easier. Of course, I didn't get that bright idea until I got there :) @Kerri - I've never gone to a movie alone, either! I think I need to make sure this happens... @Tracy - Amen! :) @Carolyn - Really?! I'm so surprised to hear that, missy. What's wrong with us awesometastic ladies keeping the awesomeness to ourselves? We're nuts. @Li - Thanks for the back-up! :) I loved meeting you, too, and your boyfriend was just so sweet. Whadda trooper! But leave him at home for the actual BlogHer (unless we need some swag bag muscles) :) Thanks, everyone, for your Woohoos & virtual pats-on-the-backs!

I'm going to remember this next time a I'm debating whether or not to go to a networking event. What's it that they say, half the battle is just showing up?

I have that same kind of fear though. I'm not good--or rather, I am just afraid--of going to big group things alone, even though I like interacting with people. I'm glad you whipped out the garlic and kept the vampires at bay and had great time! That's so awesome!!! I have that same kind of fear though.
