I'm going to a new friend's oscars party instead of a good friend who usually hosts
Why did you decide to go to the new friend?
I don't have much in common with my good friend, so it would be kind of awkward to go there.
Well if you want to go to a party you should go. It is good to go out to a new friend's to see what the friendship blossoms into.
It's not really worth it to go to my good friend's.
You are within your own right to explore new friendships, it is your life! I'm sure your good friend would understand, especially since they host every year. Maybe this new friend will bring new things to the table!
