Superbowl Sunday, 7:00pm
I was invited by one of my clients to a party at her and her boyfriend's house. He happens to be a player for the Redskins so I thought this would be a great place to meet guys. I don't care at all about football but I do like party food, drinks and games. The fact that both teams were wearing yellow pants just seemed like a huge fashion faux pas to me, but like I said, I wasn't really watching the game.
Almost immediately a cute boy came over and introduced himself and his sister. He insisted that I try a combo of one deviled egg and two meatballs. It wasn't half bad although who puts horseradish in deviled eggs? Gross. In any case it was brilliant compared to his concoction of a 5-hour energy and a Heineken that he named the "Hi-5". Despite my insistence that it should be a shot of 5-hour energy with the beer chaser, he mixed them.... and then lamented the decision for the rest of the night. I informed him that he was not allowed to invent anything else...ever.
Fergie looked like some sort of Xena/Tron mix with light up boobs. I left the half-time show to play beer pong. Did you know I have never played beer pong? I don't like beer and lived at home during college. Sad, I know. I didn't know liquor pong was an option, but I do now! We played in teams and my teammate, Kaitlyn and I went up against the professional athlete and his friend, who I'm sure had a lot more experience in beer pong than I did. We lost......twice. But we made an excellent showing. Both games came down to the last cup on each side. This was largely due to the fact that Katilyn made a shot and then I made it in the same cup. According to the rules they have to drink more cups that way so I did that in the next game too.
So I snacked and flirted a little bit and I think at one point the boy signed that he loved me. Not sure what that was all about. My response was to blow an air kiss, wink, then head back to the 7 layer dip. The dip was really awesome. I think that football parties are a fantastic place to meet boys and I learned that you do NOT have to like football to enjoy yourself.
Difficulty to initiate contact: 0
Pros
Boys like football and group together to watch it
It's a party so it's ok to just go introduce yourself or have your friend introduce you
There's easy conversation material ie: the game, who's who of guests, how awesome the snacks are
Cons
You may actually have to watch the game at some point
Some guys focus only on the game
