What gives you the heebie-jeebies?
It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*
Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

I've been thinking abut whether to put this for a few days.
Is it a phobia? Well..... it makes me extremely nervous. I often dread the idea of the situation arising, and when it does I do almost anything to avoid it, up to and including leaving the room. Sounds like a phobia to me!
Yes, I am also talking about talking to attractive lady types.
Drink doesn't help me. I am just as nervy and likely to blurt out the wrong things when drunk as when sober.
The more observant may be aware that I had a bit of a..... bad experience a few years ago. I was all but shackled from the age of 15 and when most youngsters were learning the art of attracting each other, I was learning the art of repelling lady-types to avoid getting an ear bashing. Cut to 11 years later, I get papped out in the street (as it seems I learned those lessons solo) with a big dent in my self confidence and a complete inability to act casual near a lady. Imagine that episode of Blackadder the 1st where he's pretending to be a homosexual..... that's what I feel like each and every time.
It doesn't help that every one of my friends are just constantly going out and knobbing anything that moves either. This often leads to the crippling embarrasment of being "introduced" to people they don't even know, with all too audible half-whispers of "get in about her" as they stumble off to have a dirty shag behind a bin somewhere, leaving me with the female equivalent of me standing there trying to look interested. Urgh. Not for me at all. No-one has any fucking morals these days but I'm ranting now.
My best friend is the worst offender. He literally walks into a nightclub, gets drunk, scans the room and systematically goes around any females in the area pointing at me and whispering in their ears. This has genuinely led to me hiding in toilets, as some of his selections are barely human, some of them are WAAAAYYYY out of my league and the remainder then obviously think I am some sort of retard.
All of this has led to a real fear of being in that situation. If I'm left alone and I'm allowed to get to know someone at my own pace, I do OK, you see, but all this "Nightclub/meet/filthy shag" business scares the shit out of me.

If you choose wisely you may keep one.

You've chosen the worst of the bunch! She's the oldest, she's had more cock than a poultry farmer, she's a nasty, horrible, evil bitch.
YOU LOSE!

Bugger.
I once told a woman in a bar that being pressed up against a crowded bar reminded me of being in prison.
She did not laugh as I hoped she would.
*edit* I have NOT been to prison.

There was a female monkey in that, can't remember her name, but she'd have got it bad.

Usually they give lots of filthy talk though, 'Who's a pretty boy then?', 'Polly wants a cracker,' 'SQWUAK!' etc.

Monday nights are always an anti-climax after the weekends.
Although there is a programme about some guy with tree-like growths on his hands on 5 at 9pm...

"Half Man, Half Tree".
Fucking imaginative there 5, nice work.
It should be more like "Half Man, Half Tree: All Wood".
And then seamlessly slide into cheesy softcore porn.

Though tree porn does sound just as interesting.

might just be using you as an excuse to approach the laydees/their mates. Making him come across (fnar) as the kind compassionate mate, looking out for his friends, all the while he's surreptitiously screening out the ones for him to avoid, while you hide in the toilets keeping the way clear for him.
Nightclubs are fine if you want boozeysleazeynaughtiness.
I would have laughed at your jail joke anyway, beats crap up chat up lines anyday

I'd get rid of your mates as they don't sound like real mates to me and steer clear of the shitty clubs too.
I'd have laughed at the prison joke :)

in general we are all great mates, it's just in this one area I get the grief :P
It's actually a really long and boring story behind it that I won't go into, and they do genuinely try to help me along....
it's mainly the help I dread. Help.
