I found it intriguing that Carroway received a personal invitation to one of Gatsby's parties, with the comments being made that not a lot of people receive personal invitations to his so called, "famous" occasions. Through Carroway's ecstatic emotions, it is obvious that the author is foreshadowing a deeper connection between Nick and Gatsby. Could this connection be of the romantic level? I for one do not see it happening, though there are some weird moments between the two at the party. I know that Gatsby is in love with Ms. Daisy and Carroway is dating Jordan, therefore is not a homosexual. Carroway's fascination with Gatsby, is very interesting and it opens up how two worlds, one so lavished (Gatsby) and one so humdrum (Carroway) can be connected and brought together.
