Im a horrible bowler, but I also enjoy doing it. I wouldn't go to the extent of trying to purposely embarass yourself, some people might find it annoying.. but just have fun and be yourself.

Laugh at yourself if you suck, make some jokes. Don't be embarssed, there's nothing wrong with not doing something well. If anything it can prove to be some good bonding time between you and a few other people there - they could always help you and give you pointers.

Just bowl and focus more on having fun than bowling well. If you wanted, you could just bowl a few games and sit the rest out, if more than one game is being played.

I'm really REALLY bad at bowling. I bowl with friends my age, and I always come in last. I almost never break 100. I always bowl one or two games anyways, and then I sit back, enjoy the conversation, and cheer on everyone else.

As long as you're having fun and can handle some good natured ribbing, then go ahead and bowl. The people you bowl with will be far less concerned with your score than you might be, and any one who mentions it will most likely only do so with the best intentions.

Have fun!

Just bowl! Maybe once you bowl, and after you bowl a lot you'll get used to it. Trust me, it took me a long time to learn how to bowl good, and honestly I can`t say I`m the best at it now. No body is brilliant at bowling, I still get like 90s and if I get lucky I get maybe a 110. But no need to worry about embarrasing yourself. I`m sure there will probably be people there that can`t bowl that well either. And If you do make a mistake, laugh it off. It`s not a big deal .. just try your hardest and no matter what score you get, be fine with it. You`ll get better after awhile. It all depends on practice, so when you bowl, think of it as you're practicing and maybe after that, keep going. And after you bowl, maybe next time you go, you can get an instructor, that's what I did. And it helped A LOT.

Well I hope you have a great time =P

Nobody's particularly good at bowling unless they go all the time. I'm terrible at it and so are a lot of people. I have trouble getting a 70. Chances are that someone you're going with will be just as bad as you if not worse. When people go out to bowl, they don't go to compete, they go to have fun. Try not to take it so seriously. Have fun with it. Mess around a little, throw the ball with your other hand, throw it between your legs, throw it with two hands, set it on the ground and push it with your foot....there's no reason to be embarassed. If people laugh, they're not laughing at you, they're laughing with you. So laugh! Also, think about how boring it would be if everyone was really good. Nobody's going to think anything of you if you're a bad bowler. You'll have a great time, don't worry. Good luck!

Well, I'm glad you're playing & not just sitting out and watching other people play. But just play like you would regularly do. Who cares if you suck, atleast you'll be hanging out with your work partner people! Just when you're about to bowl, be like. "Gosh I suck at this game SO bad!" lol. Who cares if you're not good at it? It'll be fun.

The only people who take bowling seriously are really really old men with pot bellies.

Just have fun!! On my birthday I went bowling with my friends and I cant bowl at all. It was fun though because we made up lots of different ways of how to bowl. Like lying on the floor and then shoving the ball out with our arms for example.

You'll be fine.

Just relax and have fun. I can't bowl to save my life, but I would just try to have fun. Nobody can embarass you--only you can embarass yourself.

Oh my gosh. I suck at bowling too. But you should just really have fun. Who cares? They're probably laugh at you a little. But you'll be getting alot of attention tomorrow night. You should be able to laugh at yourself. Just try and bowl. Even if you suck, oh well. Lol atleast you tried. If you want, you can practice before the bowling thing. Like today or something.



♥

FEEDBACK:
You can just practice by going down to the bowling alley thing before 2morrow & practice by yourself. lol =P

Just have a good time. Who cares if you are good or not? Just tell the people you are going with to be alert that you aren't very good at it! Just have fun doing it and yes, just embarrass yourself. =P
