Hi everyone.
I've never really had many friends. I'm pretty great at small talk but awful at actually getting past the acquaintance part and becoming friends with someone in real life. All my friends I've met online. I know people in real life but it never gets past the first stage and so I'm just kinda stuck in that position where I exchange niceties with people but never hang out or anything.
I go to a drama group and the other day I got added to a group chat by one of the girls who used to go. I haven't seen her in 6 months. I think she's really cool and I wanted to become her friend but I had no idea how to. The first thought I had was "this must be an accident" so I asked her and she said that she meant to invite me. I'm really confused. All of the other people know each other apart from one girl who seems to be her best friend and so it'll just be me alone, who hardly knows her really. I'm confused as to why she invited me but I feel like I can't ask her because that'll look weird. I don't know what to do. We're going bowling, if that matters. She's also autistic too and very out and proud about the fact.
TL;DR: Should you go to an acquaintances birthday party when you only know the host? I feel like everyone else has a "right" to be there and I don't.
