Have you ever dated someone you met cold at a club? (I'm not talking friend of a friend there or something, someone totally out of the blue). Have you ever discouraged one of your friends from going out with someone they met there just on principle? I like to have a good time on the dance floor and often times I find myself with a lovely girl and we have a great time. Digits get swapped, phone calls are made, laughs are had, dates are planned, but in the end I end up with more flakes than a Jersey winter. It doesn't seem to matter if I was a gentleman on the dance floor or a little bad or how initially interested I or the girl seemed to be. I'm a decent looking guy and I don't have anywhere near this amount of dead ends with girls I meet elsewhere. I love the music and dancing and I don't see a problem with going out with someone I met there (who, duh, shares my interest by being there). I hear crap about "clubs are for mating, not dating" thrown about by guys and girls often enough. It makes me wonder if friends of these girls are talking them out of it ("guys there only want one thing" or assorted BS lines out of a bad afterschool special ). My friends give me static about club girls too, but I have met great people there and I know enough to be open minded. It just seems that a lot of people aren't. I still enjoy clubbing and don't go to just meet people so I don't plan on stopping or anything, but I was just curious on other's thoughts/experiences.
