Should I go for a drink with this guy & his mates?

I met him earlier in a social club, he seems nice enough although I don't understand some of the things he says as he often uses a different dialect :s-smilie: He said he wants to go for a drink later this week but I dunno. I think his friends might well be similar & well I was always a fairly quiet person plus I will seem quite posh in comparison :erm: I don't drink (alcohol) myself but yeah I'm hoping him & his mates are decent guys really. It could be a good way to expand my social circle but I'm not sure if this is the exactly the right crowd to mix with?
Give it a go. What's the worst that could happen? It'll be an experience at the very least.

Go for it. Worst case scenario you don't like them and don't see them again but you could make some friends out of it.

Yeh I think I should go at least once although I still have a feeling they're not quite the sort of people I'd be suited too :tongue:

There is no such thing as "not quite the sort of people you'd be suited too". Its a basic facet of adulthood that you should be able to get on with people from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Going to the pub and having a few drinks with some blokes is about the easiest thing a man can do.

Well I think there is if they're not decent people/or have very different views then I probably wouldn't get on well with them, Still I'll have to find that out when I meet them.

*******s. The older you get, the more accepting you are of the realisation that some people are just different. I feel like I can get on with anybody if need be, but I wouldn't waste my time going out with somebody, 'mate' or girl, who I didn't actually click with. When I was younger I used to think you should get on with everyone, but now I think why waste time?
They may sound narrow minded but I assure you it is not. And If you are trying to make friends, like the OP, then go out with all the people you can. I guess my point is that she shouldn't feel bad if she doesn't have the best time or her life, or if they think she is 'posh'.

I'm a guy btw :tongue: Anyway I think I should give them a chance & see if I feel comfortable around them. Hopefully I can have nice stimulating conversations aha. I will try to socialise but we'll just have to see :smile:

Go. It'll be fun, probably, and hopefully make you less narrow-minded. I always try to mix with different crowds because it's not only fun, but it actually helps you mature as a person. I grew up in the country and went to a grammar school, and I'm now in my final year of uni. Most of my friends are fairly well off because of that. However, I got a job in a club and I've met so many people from so many different backgrounds, and I now consider so many of these people as my really good friends. Definitely try to branch out, and if it doesn't go well, then at least you tried and you can learn from it.

I'm just a bit apprehensive I guess due to a lack of experience (I can't help it :s-smilie:) I just want to meet people who you can have a laugh with but at the same time are nice & friendly :h:
If you say you're looking to expand your social circle then you may as well. You might get along really well and have quite a bit in common with some of them despite being "posh" and not drinking. The worst that could happen is you don't get along with them but at least you went
I reckon you should. What's the worst that could happen? You end up getting bored and not having a fun time, but at least you've gained some experience and seen what people are like and what they talk about, etc. No harm done, I'd go for it.
