Plus-One is a tricky social situation... If you are in a serious relationship, that problem is easily solved; to not bring your significant other is to spend the foreseeable future in the doghouse. If you are single, therein lies an opportunity for you to further your association with that cute person you have just met and want to know better or bring a friend; in other words, a variety of options are available to you. Choosing who to bring though, can be a tricky business, as mentioned in opening; you risk being rejected or offending the person you didn't invite.

Of course, there's always the contingent plan of the pity invite. However, pity invites are precisely what they are - they are given out of pity- and no one likes to be an afterthought. Just today I was offered one but even then, the pity invite wasn't extended wholeheartedly. You can imagine how I felt; I imagine chopped liver must have been more appetizing than me.

I know I border on being a sookie lala now (forgive my hyper-sensitive state and chalk it up to PMS) but I couldn't help but feel a little upset; knowing that I'm not considered a good enough friend that any of those boys would have thought of inviting me as their 'plus-one' since I know a lot of people at the party.

*SIGH*
