Nightclub Nightmares
Nightclubs have always made me feel awkward.

1) I can't dance. I'm a metaller. I can do 'the twist' at weddings with Great Aunts, but I assume people just point and laugh at that in nightclubs.

2) Even at rock clubs, I kinda do the 'hands in front and slowly headbang' thing.

3) I've worn a suit whilst attending a nightclub on several occasions and have been mortally embarrassed each time. 100% of the time it was because we'd started at the pub straight after work and, for me, ended up in a club to get a few more drinks. For my 'colleagues' it was a chance to show the ladies how 'important' they were in their suits.

4) I have absolutely no idea when a girl is flirting with me until someone tells me afterwards (generally a female friend). Despite my awful dancing, I was regularly 'rubbed up against', had my bottom pinched god knows how many times, have been offered several drinks (not always by women?!) and have had many, to me, innocent slow dances.

No.4 might sound a bit like showing off, but to be honest, I wish I had the mentality to think "Wahey, I'm in here!". I just don't.

And being recently single, it scares the fook out of me that I might have to do all of the above again, even though I've never 'pulled' at a nightclub!

Me too!
Unless someone has their tongue down my throat, I just think they're being friendly.

My mates used to play the 'how long will it take before big-girl's-blouse realises she's being chatted up' game. They would even place bets.
