When I Go to a Friend’s House 友達のうちに行く

I guess it’s not just me, but I always get butterflies in my stomach when I go to a friend’s house for the first time.
I’m planning to bring a little snack — just to be a polite guest.
Apparently, some other people will be there too, so I hope I can get along with everyone.
I’ve noticed I tend to talk a lot about myself in these situations, more than other people do, and I usually end up regretting it.
Not sure if I’m putting this clearly, but… You know what I mean?


初めての友達のうちに行くのはいつも緊張するよね。ちょっとしたおやつを持っていくつもりだけど。他の子もくるみたい。仲良くできるといいな。いつもこういう場に行くと、自分だけ自分の情報をたくさんしゃべりすぎちゃって、損した気持ちになるんだよね。わかるかな。

This all looks correct to me!

I do get nervous about most social situations the first time, so I can relate.

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

“I guess” is generally used to be more dismissive, so “think” is more natural here. Even more natural: “I don’t think it’s just me, but ….”

“butterflies in my stomach” does mean nervous, but it is usually romantic. “nervous” is a better choice!

“I’m planning on bringing a little snack” also works!

“you know what I mean?” is pretty casual. I think “do you know what I mean?” matches the rest of your writing!

Great job! I get nervous about the same thing too. I hope you have fun at your friend’s house!

I didn’t know that “butterflies in my stomach” could imply a more romantic context. Thank you!

No problem! "butterflies in my stomach" is often used to describe how your crush makes you feel, which makes it commonly associated with romance.

Just a little fyi: "butterflies in my stomach" DOES mean just being nervous, but it's often used in a romantic context, at least in the US. It's not wrong, but just for future reference!

This makes it seem like you're getting ready to visit right at this very moment. "I'm planning" sounds like something you're doing in the moment.
