maybe you should have been more forward, and introduced 'yourself'.
when I was at Uni, living with 4 other guys, we had a notorious rep with most of the other students on our course, that we were the heavy beer drinkers, and had parties all the time.... drank quite a lot of beer yes, partys all the time ...no.
We did, however have quite a few bbq's in the good weather, and invited many people, since we had lots of food and beer, and asked people to bring some beer etc. Quite often I'd see people arrive who I didn't recognise, either they were frindes of friends, people from down the pub/bar or other students who heard by word of mouth. I wasn't too bothered, me a my house mates just kept eyes on them, for trouble.
But being slack with unknown people who turned up, had problems. Some time's they'd not bring any drink, eat the food, drink a lot of beer and get roudy, and we'd end up throwing them out, which wasn't a problem either. Other times I'd go over and introduce myself to these unknow people and give a sarctisc but humorous remark, like "who are you, aint seen you around, must have been the smell of beer and bbq, that brought the freeloaders here" or " I know the name of all my beer bottles, but I don't know the names of you people drinking it all" usally broke the ice, and they'd be more friendly and I'd be more accomodating.
...then of course the females, we didn't know, were most welcome to stay ;)
