I will soon be attending my first ever non-birthday party. And I have no fucking clue how to act at a party. Especially when the guest list is predominately girls, more over their all my "type" and I'm socially awkward, so no help there. And the only person I know is the party's host. Does any one on here have any advice?

Any advice that aren't obvious...
Try to fit in, and don't stand around in a corner.
Try to overcome your social awkwardness and socialize. As a socially awkward person myself, I know that can be tough, but if you really try, you can do it.
Be yourself
Don't make a mistake. hint hint.
[QUOTE=TreviStator;33760511]Be yourself[/QUOTE]
That is probably the most important advice you can give in a situation like this.
As long as it doesn't make you look like an idiot, have as much fun as possible. Talk to friendly people, get to know them. It's okay to make small talk with girls. Also, stay confident and act like yourself.
and don't worry, after a while you'll start to know other people and maybe you'll make some new friends in the process
Will their be alcohol? Maybe at least have a beer, so you don't seem completely awkward there. But if you don't want to, you shouldn't. Be yourself I guess.
If it's alcohol involved, don't you worry.
If you don't get laid consider the night a failure.
Get hammered.
Don't take advice from the internet
1. Drink looooooooooooooooots of booze.
2. Hook up with a random floozy.
3. Hook up with the cheapest crack dealer
4. PIZZA!!!
5. ?????
6. Profit.
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;33760704]Don't take advice from the internet[/QUOTE]
then doesn't that make your advice invalid?
Like someone else said, if there's alcohol have at least one drink, even if you're kind of reluctant about it. There's a reason they call it "liquid courage".
Also, you'd be surprised how friendly girls are when they're even slightly drunk. Don't be afraid to socialize.
Paradoxes up in this bitch
Take a big ass shit in the bathroom.
Watch your drink carefully.
Have fun and don't try and impress
Don't get piss drunk, just get a little tipsy.
Lucky you :suicide:

moderately drunk is the way to go

Also if a chick smiles at you OP she wants your dick immediately
Same as if she talks to you
talk to people (don't talk about internet shit unless it's a nerd)
observe your body language (it's more important than you think)
have a good time, and make it worth it
Drink one or two beers and that's it. It will help loosen you up socially and make you feel more comfortable.
Don't just sit there and expect people to come to you and start a conversation.
Walk up to someone who looks alone and talk to them. Start with something simple, yet positive. If there's food, say something like, "I like the XYZ... have you tried it?"
Don't make the first thing you say to someone be negative, or you will forever be a negative person in their eyes.
Just take a couple sips from ol' Mr.Bottle and the worries will fade away my friend.
Introduce your self to people.
-Don't be a wallflower. Parties are for socializing, so socialize!
-You know the host, that's a great place to start. The host can be a great way to introduce you to others. If you see him in a circle having a conversation, maybe join in.
-Truth be told, partygoers are pretty extroverted. Generally speaking, 1/2 of going to a party is about meeting new people. Don't be afraid to be extroverted, and if you mess up don't worry - there's plenty of people at the party to meet and "practice" socializing with.
-That said, people are often also naturally shy. Don't feel like you're the only person in the room who feels a little overwhelmed, because you're probably not. In-fact, if you see someone by themselves, use that as an opportunity to strike up a conversation - like Master Kief said.
-Use conversations or actions as spring boards. You'd be surprised how easy it is to meet new people by just sticking your head out.
-Like a few folks said above, alcohol is a great way to relieve some shyness. Be careful though - don't drink too much, and know what kind you're drinking and how much (Beer before liquor, never been sicker; liquor before beer, you're in the clear etc). I had one teacher who, on his first time drinking, had 21 shots of tequila and then several cans of beer. He had alcohol poisoning and was stuck in his dorm motionless for nearly a week; almost died.
-Going to a party is like oiling a door hinge. You feel sort of rusty at first, but, after you really get down to it, you're swinging freely and nicely. It's ok to be apprehensive. Parties crescendo for a reason - everyone loosens up and has a fun time and then calls it a night and slowly (<- usually) goes home. Again, don't be afraid if you're shy. Just make sure you don't let it paralyze you.

How old are you?

Even though the wording might appear kinda odd, one way or another this is really the case for a LOT of people.
Have sex with everything in sight.
No exceptions.
