also remember its fairly rare to meet people that mind sharing some of their clubbing/holiday time with you - most people are lovely.

occasionally when you do meet people that tell you to bugger off just brush it off, they're usually completely up their own arse anyway and not worth it.

Sorry but I disagree. There's nothing worse than being on holiday or wherever with your b/friend and friends and having some random billy no-mates tagging along. At the end of the day people only have so many weeks holiday a year and they want to spend it with they want to spend it with. I'm all for meeting new people but at the end of the day I go on holiday to spend quality time with Tom and my friends, if I meet other people so be it but Tom, friends etc are the main people I want to spend my days/nights with.
 
Yeah that is true.. I'd never ever want to be a tag along...How awful

Think its best if I get the driving out of the way and then hopefully by next year i'll have someone decent to go away with:D

No you wouldn't be a tag along but I think you have to be careful not to overbear yourselves with people. I think as long as you take friendships gradually and don't force yourself on people it's fine. Some of my closest friends started off as randoms ;)

Yeah that's something i'd never do i'm not an overbearing person at all - it takes a while for me to talk to people etc and get to know them until I start acting like myself!:D

no no no :spank: ...

I don't think Babs meant it was a bad idea to go to the island and meet people to hang out with. I think (hope) she was only responding to the "usually completely up their own arse anyway and not worth it" part of Zarbtron's message.

You can go and meet people who are more than open to making new friends to hang out with. Just don't expect your new friends to be around every minute.

The point I was making is that some people don't want randoms hanging about with them while they're on holiday and people shouldn't assume everyone does.

yeah you're right babs, that's true. I think the point to make is judge the situation correctly, make sure that it's ok to go for dinner etc with them if that's what you fancy doing, or perhaps sharing part of an evening together, but yes, don't try and spend hours and hours and hours with someone in an overbearing way.

What I meant is that that sometimes some people don't even want to share the odd hour or two with other people, I don't know why some people are like that, but jessie shouldn't get set back if occasionally people are.

ooooh one of the infamous parties - that sounds like an invite I couldn't turn down8)
 
There are some people who love meeting new people and sharing their holiday experiences with people other than their close circle of friends, likewise there are people who go on holiday specifically to spend time with their partner/close friends etc and when new people tag along with that crowd, it can get annoying.

I'd say go Jessy, odds are you'll end up meeting some fab people and loads of new friends, but like Babs says, just be aware of how your new friends are with you, if they're constantly begging you to come out to the next club, they're the first type of people, if they're dropping hints that tonight they'd like to spend some time as a couple/group of friends etc then they're the second type ;)

We'll be out around that time, as will a lot of Spotlighters, so you know there'll be at least some friendly people around ;)
