This reminds me of a fun story:
I have this super extroverted friend that I would sometimes take to parties. He was from another town and he would visit me while I was in university. I'd roll up to a party where I knew maybe a handful of people, and this mf by the end would be friends with everyone there.
His fun little party trick was introducing himself to everyone and then remembering their names and then introducing everyone else to each other. "Oh hey Jackie, have you met David?" Either they didn't and he became a big social hub at the party or worse-case they'd already known each other for 10 years and it was this hilarious joke. It was very fun.
He introduced me to so many people that would ask after him, like "where's your crazy friend? He was funny."
Basically, if possible, I highly recommend taking an extrovert with you.
Definitely! Wingmates aren't just for hookups.
