Well, i dumped my ex girlfriend about three years ago because she was to self-centred and viewed herself as being the most important thing in the universe. Naturally i didn't feel valued enough in the relationship, especially when she was cybering with some lad in America, which made me feel uncomfortable. Psychopathic girls are sure interesting characters, but don't date them.
Anyway, i've been single since but while at university you could say i've had a couple of "encounters" of sorts.
Two weeks into my first year of university, it was my 19th birthday, so my friends at the time took me out to a few nightclubs. At one of these places this girl tapped me on the shoulder and gestured for me to follow her and her friend upstairs, but i ignored them because i wasn't really enjoying myself that night. The music was loud and boring, plus i felt homesick.
Some time around January or maybe December me and this friend of mine and four girls went out, planning to meet the rest of our social circle at another club. Me and my male friend went to collect drinks for the girls at the first night club we went to, leaving four rather attractive women alone in a night club. Which is a very stupid thing to do. When i turned round, a pack of guys had descended upon them like vultures, with the obvious intention of getting laid. What they didn't know was that only one of these girls was single, but i don't think they would have cared anyway. I looked to my guy-friend for support, but he quietly sat down on the last remaining seat and didn't do anything. I couldn't get an ear in on what they were doing, nor could i try to stop them for fear of starting a fight, so i retreated away from them and prayed that they would go. Instead one of those lads came up to me and started asking questions about me and being generally nice and pleasant about it. I answered his questions cordially, wondering why the hell he wanted to know.
Anyway, the vultures eventually gave up and left, and we in turn swiftly left the club. We were all outside talking about it, and then one of my friends remarked. "That guy looked like he was chatting you up Nick!' That's when i finally realised why he had been so damn interested in me, and we all had a laugh about that.
This one was at the end of my first year at university, at one of the end of year fancy dress parties. I had just got a glass of water for one my friends at the bar when i turned round, nearly bumped into this girl and fell into a chair. She laughed and i frantically apologised.
She then asked me to guess what she was. I looked at her, saw the horizontal strips in her teared greenish top, and made the and guessed a bumble-bee. "No silly!" i remember her exclaiming. It turned out she was an army girl. I felt rather embarrassed by my rather lame guess, and then there was this horrible awkward silence as she stood there looking at me to say something. Well, Fuck this! i thought to myself, realising she may want me to chat her up or something. So I turned round and made it look like i was getting something from the bar. A minute later i turned round again, she had gone.
Reasons for rejecting the first and last encounters? (Being hetrosexual, the 2nd one needs no explanation) Mainly because in those situations I was forced into a position where I had to "chat a girl up"....in a club or loud party....i'm just not the kind of guy who likes doing that.
