My 21st birthdayI'm sitting in a big armchair in a nightclub and this attractive girl has been sitting on the arm of the chair all night. We've been getting on quite well but I've never met this girl before and she's an obscure friend of a friend of a friend. Drunken logic kicks in and I decide that a relationship would never work. Eventually, the moment arrives when she make it painfully clear that sex is a definite option and in my mind I say this, "I like you but I don't really want a one night stand with you because we'd wake up tomorrow morning, say goodbye and never see each other again. I'm really sorry."
But what actually came out was, "No thanks, I don't want to see your face in the morning."
My friends have never let me live it down. And I never saw her again.
