(INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS) RESPONSE 7 05/07 19:17 BY ZIOMEK TOM

DON'T ASK ME, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE--

    HERE'S SOMEONE WHO ALSO WONDERS WHERE ALL THE GIRLS ARE (WHO
AREN'T ALREADY TAKEN, ARWEN).  BUT I HAVE MY OWN SEMI-SPECIAL PROB-
LEM.  IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET GIRLS ARE
AT PARTIES (NOT THAT THERE AREN'T OTHER CHANCES).  BUT WHAT ABOUT
GUYS WHO DON'T PARTY?  YES, THERE ARE A FEW OF US AROUND, AND I HOPE
THAT I DON'T GET TOO MANY "REAL MEN PARTY HARDY" LINES.  THIS SEVERE-
LY CUTS DOWN ON OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET GIRLS OR JUST MAKE FRIENDS OF
THE OPPOSITE SEX.
    BUT I SEEM TO HAVE MY OWN SPECIAL HANGUP ABOUT THIS.  WHENEVER I
MEET A GIRL WHO PARTIES (OR JUST HAS A DRINK TO RELAX OCCASIONALLY),
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO CHANCE WITH HER BECAUSE I WON'T TAKE HER OUT FOR
A DRINK.  I'M NOT A TEETOTALER (STRICTLY), BUT I HAVEN'T HAD A DRINK
FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, AND I DON'T GO OFF PREACHING AT ANYBODY WHO
TOUCHES ALCOHOL.  I JUST HAVE THIS BAD STEREOTYPE THAT ANY GIRL WHO
DRINKS AT ALL WON'T EVEN LOOK AT A GUY WHO DOESN'T.  PART OF THE PROB-
LEM MAY BE THAT I PROBABLY HAVE A VERY POOR IDEA OF WHAT MOST PARTIES
ARE LIKE, BUT THERE'S NO WAY FOR ME TO REALLY CHANGE THIS.
    ANY HINTS OR SUGGESTIONS??
                                        TOM ZIOMEK
