This maybe should go in humor. A draft or parody of putting it on E-How possibly. For wallflowers as I was and my little friends including the future President of the class. Some of mine I should say. Some were very popular, or wallflowers for a while and then asked but not by who they wanted. This could also be used in later years and works better.

On going to a party:

Come in a mysterious hat with a black veil and sit there.

Bring a cigarette holder and/or cigarette case, extra cigarettes to attract desperate men. Sit there with the cigarette waiting for it to be lit. Run up to men who have cigarettes asking for a ciggy.

Wear sunglasses.

Pretend to be a famous author, if you are so much the better.

Use your accent if you are English or around there. That was the idea of one English girl. (Not my other friend who was an actress). Even if they are calling you Eurotrash from across the way they will soon be enchanted. Other accents also good but involves saying something.

If you are American and there are other Europeans remember they are dying to hear your point of view even if it doesn't seem so. This is especially true in the US. Remind them of them telling you about the green card marriage scam.

If you're American and they are, what's the problem? Come join the party like our resident closer said.

Bring an unusual book like a Sex handbook or unusual political book on either party of your choice. Democrats here love conversations from Republicans.

If you have a partner and you are supposed to be circulating and he is talking to other women just sit there staring at him. Wear dark red lipstick. Stare at other men that look interesting.

If you have ascertained another man is not married go over and casually put you leg over his.

If you have a large bustline try showing it there. Or you can try stuffin it and see what happens. That is a large part of it.

If you have good legs wear a long skirt with a peekaboo.

You probably have your compact mirror. Bring a good expensive, fancy one with you. You can look at yourself in it if it is really boring.

If you are being ignored go out in the garden or courtyard and remark as to how the house is falling apart. Ask other people out there if they think it is boring too. Ask them if they've been swimming in the pool since the water looks kind of dirty.

Think up excuses to go near interesting men or women such as the amazing plant or centerpiece. If there is a painting go up to it and stare intently. They may think you are an art lover or just nothing to do.

If you notice your husband on talking with another girl ask him loudly from across the room if he's called the babysitter.

Remember to ask him in front of her if he's finished the project at work he was being yelled at about.

If anyone does talk to you ask them a really stupid question that they won't be able to answer. Either that or something too personal that will embarrass them.

If they say something act even more mysterious and just don't answer. Pretend to hear something from across the room. It will make them want to talk to you even more.

Go over and listen to other conversations just nodding. They may think you understand something.

Tell someone with an extremely big mouth you are looking for a date. That should help things.

If you are married tell the girls. They may be relieved to find that such as you are not in competition. They may also then know they won't need to find you a date with relief.

Remember to tell anyone you have seen interested in your husband all of his faults.

Read the body language books so you can just signal the ones you are interested in without having to talk.

Tell people about all of their faults. They will find it fascinating. Men will find it intriguing when you point out all of their wives faults.

You fashion sense should be better than anyone elses so they will all look stupid. Wear the latest designer dress.

Wear jeans if you were supposed to be dressed up. This should get their attention.

If it is a jeans party or dress down come dressed up so they realize how tacky they are.

Use the phone to talk to your children so they will know you are busy.

Bring a cell phone to ring all of your important friends.

Loudly congratulate your friends on all their accomplishments.

Put down all of their dearest friends to people surrounding you.

If you see a woman in a dress you like remember to tell her that your mother used to have something like that.

Ask one of the women if they like your dress. If they like it just go change into another one that you have brought.

Read the American play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", for more ideas. Decide which role to play Virgina Woolf or the deprived wife.

Think about what you would say if you say anything.

Sliding down the staircase is always an attention getter.

Tell the hostess you loved it and never mind about the others complaining.

Find someone no one wants to talk to there and talk to them acting as if they are the most interesting person in the world.

If someone does again talk to you tell them about all the celebrities that you know. If they mention one tell them you don't like them or watch their TV show.

If you know they like a celebrity remember to put them down.

Differing opinions will create controversy and establish you as being different. Men are bored by all the same opinions and value honesty.

The first sign of some men's attraction is antagonism.

If he is ignoring you he just really likes you.

Tell him you're glad he married that woman since no one else was going to.

Talk to all your own friends staring at others in the room from behind your hand.

Ignore anyone different if they approach you. Your old friends are best. Besides they can't find anyone else being that boring or dorks.

The final one tell them all what an interesting conversationalist you are. They will come to believe it.

Have more confidence in yourself. Just because you have nothing to talk about doesn't mean you can't repeat it. Listen to them.

Many people like my friend from high school are just repeating the same stupid story over and over. People put up with it.

Being the best looking girl around would help.

If it's a really boring party maybe you can go sleep in one of the bedrooms where the coats are they know is being used. They might go in there though. For the nondescript so they don't notice it.

For someone whose really introverted almost wrote boring you can write notes to people. After all they may like writing. I think I didn't put that on here yet it's hard to tell.

I know I remember going to things and not saying anything. No one says anything and then they complain that you didn't. It was boring. You don't say it was boring and then they expect you to entertain them too. She was a nice girl who invited everyone and writing plays about everyone.

Example of attention getting outfit also good for Halloween:

Sometimes you don't realize you've said something to hurt someone's feelings on the Internet since you're expecting them to know you're just writing it so far as that goes and in general. But they don't seem to have the same block on themselves for not bothering.

If it was so incoherent what was she mad for then?

Actually lately many extroverts and everyone really who many aren't but just try to be) in US at least seem to despise introverts. Maybe it's just a thing here. I know you're just about forced to talk to people especially at work in some companies. My mother wasn't an extrovert and was always bothering to talk to people. It isn't the introverts ever bothering about someone to talk to them. But people do bother that you should talk to someone.

I wonder if that goes on more in the UK. The English girls I knew one was pretty introverted but would say something and one fairly extroverted the actress. It is a drag on you having the one that doesn't really talk around. It is covering up something I think.

I think I have it about figured out that it is like fake extroverts in the US telling people you have to talk to people and not be unsocial. Talk to everyone too.

Mary Queen of Scots there has said something before her beheading.

And now you see I start to ignore it but I should stand up for myself maybe since she didn't apologize on it. That's not nice for something I didn't do.

But I have a friend now on E-How a real author to instill some sanity. I should be working on my own stories.

It's actually kind of difficult to get people not to talk to you later on. Then there's the thing of some guy trying to make you dance.

It was not as if I didn't have a little boyfriend before. I used to wonder when he was with another girl Juergen, he was German. Then he liked me and followed me all over but too much. I like him. Then I had another blonde kid that everyone liked liked me. I was jailbait then. I had David H. asked me to dance, he said "I'll dance with you" after I'd said something to someone else but that didn't help. I wish the others had been there. People left that town in Connecticut. The factory had closed and it was a mess.
