So over the years I've met a few women who have invited me to parties.

The thing is, I hate parties. I don't know too many people, and at parties I feel like a third wheel, or that awkward guy who doesn't know anybody. I also can't stand loud music and rowdy people. I'd much rather be with a small group or just one person.

Is it wrong to play hard to get and pull the, "I'm Busy" card when invited to parties by women you fancy? Or is it better to just go?
