People : look! She's seeking attention!
😂

No, because she's obviously more interested in whatever she's reading than the party. If anything, I would try to help her find a quiet room or spot to read in peace.
Look, don't judge people on what they do at a party. Who's to say her friends didn't drag her there, and she rather be at home studying or reading a book?
As the host, I want to make sure she was enjoying herself and comfortable. If it's my book, I'd offer to loan it to her so she can enjoy the party, or a quiet place to read if she'd rather do so. I also want to make sure she's not being hassled, or obligated to be there for some other reason that I can help with.
Nope she is after someone approaching her, it may be she just wants someone or it may also be she wants an argument.
Sitting at a party reading a book can be a large red flag, she wants someone to approach her, the question is why….
Well unless the book is interesting probably not. If she's reading twilight I will run.
Ah of course their are idiots saying this is for attention or wrong. Such prudes these days won't even let you read.

No she's clearly looking for attention and being a massive try hard pick me. Who brings a book to a party unless they are like look I'm different to the other girls.
Why bother coming to the party if you were gonna spend time reading it's ignorant and as if you can actually focus on a book at a party just looking for attention
I take a book with me all the time. I like parties, but I eventually get bored of people.
I get that but don't you think it looks abit rude if someone's invited you over to there house and your ignoring everyone reading a book. It's no different to people who sit there on there phones instead of talking and spending time with the people at the party.
I get people are annoying but if you don't wanna be there and you rather be at home reading a book then why don't you just do that
How can you read at party too. It's so loud and to much stuff going on in the background
Not everything has to do with pick mes of attention... i like to read anywhere i go. its something i like and idc how people may view it
Or attention***
@Marianna546 exactly
Of course @anon1903
It's fine. Parties have lows and highs, and sometimes they get boring. Sometimes people arrive early because of logistics, and they read a book to pass the time. Sometimes people don't owe you shit and if they wanna read a book at a social event they can.
Introverts need to manage their energy and while yes, one could say that if you're tired and you want to stop then you can go home. But it takes an investment to schlep your ass across town, so maybe cooling down for 15 mins or so, and then you can jump back in is something to think about.
I'm a fun guy. My presence at your party is a gift, so don't complain, ok?
And besides I carry a book around everywhere I go. You never know when you're gonna be stuck somewhere waiting, and having a book in your bag is super useful for like I said, when you arrive early, or somebody is late or whatever.
It's no big deal. If you wanna chat, you can say hello, but if you guys are talking about boring nerd shit like, "OMG!!! Did you hear what Karen said about Tina's dress?", then that's cool, not every conversation has to be to my taste.
Exactly! The people that complain about people reading a book are the same people that will text somebody else while you're talking to them. At least it seems to me anyway. Unless you leave your phone at home (or don't have one) I don't think you have a leg to stand on.
Put it this way, if the girl in the photo was on her phone instead of reading a book, nobody would notice at all.
@Marianna546 I'm not trying to be rude towards you and I'm sorry if it came off that way. It's just I was always rised if you're invited to someone elses house it extremely rude to be on your phone, reading a book, playing a games console etc. I was always told but I must be engaging with people and make a effort
I understand where you're coming from.
I would, and I would probably ask her (politely) if she's having fun and if she says yes then I guess I'll just let her be, although I would like to socialize with my guests since its a party I would love for them to meet new people too but if she's having a good time reading then who am I to stop her lol
Hell yeah !!! The fact that she reading at a party says 2 things bout her. First, she intelligent than the party lot, n second, she is confident bout herself and don't give a fuck what people say
As someone who's done it, thanks man!
I love to read books, and even K wouldn't bring one to a party. There's such a thing as 'reading the room'. But she might be more approachable than the girl surrounded by a wall of dudebros, so I see no reason not to go and say hi.
Although I suppose in a way I'd admire her confidence for giving nk fucks about "party etiquette" and just doing her thing. It's a bit unusual, but I'm a pretty unusual guy, so she might be perfect fit haha
Yes I would because I´m kind of a book worm myself so I´m always interested in what´s trending in the book choice.
No; because she looks like she's busy, and I don't want to bother her. I don't want to be rude.
@anon1903 Is this correct? Am I doing the right thing?
Of course. Why do you sound unsure?
We sometimes agree, James.
@anon1903 :)
It's just that I don't know everything. There are many things I am unsure about. 🙃
Leaving a bookworm alone is the best decision
Okay; cool. 👌
I'd be far more likely to approach somone like her than a girl who's mingling.
Its a surefire sign she's introverted which is way more my speed.
Yeah sure.
I love books. So I woukd like to talk with book lover as well.
by the way who is this beautiful girl?
Is it you?
Nope.
I would approach her it would be fun and it might be educational for me. She might inspire me to read the book.
Hell no! I hate being interrupted when i’m reading. That’s rude.
I would probably ask her what she's reading, but then take the hint that I probably shouldn't disturb her.
I love women who read.
Although there is a time and a place, observing social customs is a side of good social etiquette.
I wouldn't approach.
Kind regards,
DoctorSex
I'd approach and see they're ok. But as host I'd have to.
Got to question why someone carries out a solitary activity in the midst of a party. That seems more like making a statement
I would expect she was bored with the party and wanted to be left alone. Though I don't know why she wouldn't just leave, unless she rode with someone else.
Absolutely I would go over and talk to her. I love reading.
Yeah definitely i would approach that girl and the only girl i would approach in the whole party
No. I just had to tell my mom that I'm readin, I ain't tryna talk with you. Soo if someone is reading, most likely they tryna read and wanna be left alone.
Probably not as I hate when others interrupt my reading and I'm not the most social person to begin with
What kind of psycho goes to a party to read a book? That's so pretentious LMAO no from me, no from my husband.
Anyone reading in a party doesn't enjoy the company. It's as unlikely behavior as me hosting a party with strangers. Ie girls I don't already knows.
It’s giving “I’m not like other girls”.
C’mon now many people love reading but that’s just too much.
I'd wonder if she brought the book with her or is reading something from my collection
Yes if it was a party I would everyone should enjoy themselves and if she doesn't enjoy party's then I'd find something she would
Absolutely. Curiosity to know if school/ work related. If personal I wanna know what made them still come to party. If free will then that person intrigues me that they are not just a sheep following the masses
Yeah I mean they came to a party I figure they would probably be interested in talking to some people
Yeah, absolutely. She'd pique my curiosity by doing that, and it would be very easy to start a convo with her.
I love reading too but not at a party. Just leave. No i wouldn't disturb her though.
Depends on what she was reading and how wrapped up. In her reading she was
While I really enjoy reading I don't think I would sit down and read a book while I was at a party.
To be honest, why wouldn't I? If only to introduce myself with no ulterior motives.
I honestly do not understand the question or what I assume the point of the question is.
As the host I’ll approach her just to ask how she’s doing and if I feel like talking to her I might ask her what she’s reading. I won’t bug her too much.
Yeah, sure. Maybe she's reading something interesting or just antisocial
i wouldn't be able to focus on a book at a party at all
Probobly if I wasn't talking to anyone else
Yes I would talk to a woman reading at a party.
I might. I know the feeling.
Yes, I would. I love reading.
Abolutely. My kinda girl.
Sure, if I liked how she looked.
no, that's rude... lol
No, I wouldn't want to interrupt her reading.
I usually talk to the dog..
Depends on your type!
I’d be curious as to what she’s reading
"Hi. What are you reading?"
Who reads a book at a party?
No... why would you go to a party just to read?
there are worse things to into
Well, she cute though?
Possibly depends on what’s she reading.
Yes, and kiss her
Sure I would
For sure
Maybe.
Why not?
sure
