I’m a guy with one of the best buddies a dude could ask for. He’s always there to help anyone that needs it and would probably take a bullet for me. He can be a little shy around women but he’s actually a great looking guy. He just doesn’t know how to talk to someone he hasn’t spent much time with. What is hurting me right now is that there is a party coming up that the host didn’t invite him to but I got the invitation today. He’s expecting to receive his and I know it isn’t coming.

I think the reason he didn’t get invited is that he is so socially inept. How can I teach another guy how to act? I mean, he is who he is, right? I feel like I should try to bring him out a little but in my gut I feel he needs to take some initiative for himself. I know if the shoe was on the other foot, he would be in my corner. I’m just feeling bad that he will be hurt when he doesn’t get invited even though he would likely spend most of his time talking to me or the guy that is throwing the party instead of trying to meet a girl or meet other male friends. Should I not go?
