I always wondered how people like you would have survived the mid to late 90s going out. When not everyone had a cell phone or even a pager. You actually had to make plans ahead of time.
That or bring quarters for the payphone and always remember the code to your answering machine to check your messages on the machine.

I would have just texted him after the game and said something like “hey man, I’m over at X, just seeing where y’all are going” to lead off the conversation
After 10 minutes if I didn’t hear back I’d just order a pizza and rub one out
This is more or less the correct answer.
OP was given an invitation. Nothing more than that, but it was an invitation. It's up to you to show your interest.

it was a birthday party of someone who I don’t see very often but I have a crush on but only see 3-4 times a year. I thought me being invited in the first place was odd because I don’t see a lot of these people very often. I am pretty sure last time I had seen her, I was very boisterous (a bit of a harmless jack arse) so i thought she and her ilk had told my buddy that they didn’t want me me to come out when I didn’t hear from them. Just felt awkward

Oweo with the instant reply to a question about social skills. OT strong.

IMO, it’s on you to reach out in that situation, especially if your buddy is already with that group drinking etc. You can’t count on them to remember to text you.

The only assumption worth making when you have an invitation is that you're invited. Follow up or not, that's up to you.

1. It's you.
2. Never rely on a post-game plan.
3. Stop worrying about stupid shite.

Just man up and ask her to prom already.

A long, long time ago, people used to designate a time and a place to meet when they made plans. Now, everything is left open ended as if simply saying "George's at 6:00PM" is too much of a commitment for anyone to make.

If you want to hang out, be assertive and make the initial post game contact.

Just be glad you don’t have Social Anxiety Disorder. I would be reevaluating that situation from 100 different angles and reliving it for the next 20 years. I still overanalyze the way interactions went at fast food drive thrus 35 years ago. I have an easy solution - I just avoid contact with other people as much as possible. Try it - it works.

I've learned that I have to be the one reaching out even when they're the ones who originally invited me somewhere.
What if the dude invited 20 people including the OP? He's gotta remember every single one of those 20 after the game? It's a heck of a lot easier for the OP to send out the text.
