Are you fond of attending formal gathering?

Given a chance, I would prefer not to attend formal gathering. I don't like it having to wearing formally. I would prefer to have a casual meeting, and wearing clothes that I am comfortable in.

I guess getting acquainted with lots of people and forming friendships helps you to attend formal parties with ease. My views are pretty much the same, because when I join a group of friends to attend such events it makes my mind at ease. If I were all alone, there would be lots more stress for me. I would try to find people to talk with and worry that there aren't going to be people that are my type. A big part of me going depends on the event, and the rest depends on whether I'll know anyone there.

I'm not fond of attending formal gatherings to be honest as i don't really feel comfortable dressed up in a suit for ages and obviously at times i'd need to but its much better to have gatherings where everyone is dressed and comfortable how they are. The last gathering i went to was my brothers wedding, which was ok to be dressed up as its his special day, but i am surprised he was dressed up himself as hes never been one to like dressing up.

Sounds very interesting. Yeah, those were the times we would enjoy and feel very much elated. I also remember the days when I would be at the formal parties at the campus. These days, I do get to be at the formal parties, more as a duty than for enjoyment. These are business related parties where lots of guests attend, including people from abroad some times. Have a nice day May !

No not at all fond of formal gathering.Makes me nervous to dress up and meeet new people.I never could do it in my younger days.I guess it is a personality issue.

Its easy to feel uncomfortable at formal events, which would make socializing more difficult.

Nothing better than old days, when one was young, you are right about how much we miss those days, & how life took us from such beautifull times. When young, for me personally, i wasn't thinking too much about the future, i gess youth was just tricking us just to keep having fun & good time & not to think much of what's coming next day. None of us can deny how good & great those days, but it seems one's expectations exceed those moments, like having good future life, geting married, work... For me personally, those gatherings were like heaven, so much fun & laugh, too many friends, it was like so easy to make friends at that time, may be coz we were more pure & innocent than now, coz once we grow up, making new relations & friends starts to get lesser & lesser.

i love doing this as m a very peoples person and travel a lot so i ahve to go out and hav agala time
