Enough to break the ice.
Some guy said that to me tonight, attemtping to pick me up. Seriously. He then told me I sure knew how to “cut a rug.” I didn’t know that’s what the kids were saying these days.
I liked the guy who bought me a drink better. He didn’t say anything cheesy and pretty much left me alone when he saw I had friends. And my poor ass got a free drink.
Finally, what is up with the guys who “casually” try to dance with me (or anyone)? They have that “oh, hey, look at that, we’re dancing together, how’d that happen” look on their faces as they try whatever meat market moves they know. Hey guess what? You’re not dancing with me. I don’t dance with other people, unless that other person is my husband and I am so floored by the miracle of him being on the dance floor, I take full advantage. Otherwise, I just like to do my thing. I’m not out to pick anyone up or hook up. I really try not to project a skank vibe. I’m not trying to be a bitch, I’m just trying to make it clear that I’m not looking for any action.
To make things clear, I do not mind polite conversation, or a sincere compliment where nothing is expected in return.
Also, to be clear, I had a really great time, despite being out alone. I got a lot of good dancing in…I may even be a little sore in the morning. The club was more crowded with tourists than usual, but I can deal. Now, I just have to wind down so that I can maybe get some sleep and maybe get up in time to accomplish something before I go to work.
