The Story of the Weekend

Okay, as you know, this past week was my birthday! Nothing much happened on the actually birthday, just went and bought some cake , and juices for my birthday celebration on Friday night. I also went out with some friends to get some Chipotle burritos afterward, and while a friend and I were getting seated, another friend told me that the guy who rang us up asked if I had a boyfriend. I just rolled my eyes and didn't say a word. Then I went to a soccer game...all of this happening after class and lab and whatnot.

So Friday night...this is where the real story is. Anyways, some friend's and I gathered at a friend's apartment eating cake, and having some drinks before we went out. A friend of mine who went to a neighboring school gave us all a ride, since none of us would be in the right mind to...So yeah, we get to the club...and the place is packed...and with some cuties too.

But yeah, it was a great night of dancing. I was surprised at how many guys wanted to dance with me. Like...two years ago, when I would go out with friends, I averaged two guys a night. This Friday...it was at least ten, and even then I would be dancing with one guy...and another guy would grab my arm. I don't do that bent over...hands on the ground kind of dancing or anything of that sorts, so please...don't get the wrong idea lol. But yeah...that happened a couple of times, and trying to accompany friends the bathroom, I would get pulled as well. I guess things have changed in two years (remember I said I didn't really go out last school year)?

But yeah...this one conversation was funny:

Sunglasses in Club Guy: Wow. You are the most beautiful girl that I have seen here. You look different from all the other girls and I've been watching you tonight. I just wanted to talk to you for a bit.
ELNG: Yeah...sure, I bet you say that to all the girls.
SCG: No, really I mean it. I'm not even kidding, you are probably the only one that I will remember tomorrow.
ELNG: Ummm...well you are drunk, so I doubt you will remember me tomorrow.
SCG: You are right, but if I was sober, I would remember you tomorrow.
ELNG: Uhhh...okay.
SCG: You remind me of the girls from back home.
ELNG: Where is home?
SCG: Atlanta
Was that supposed to be a complement?

So then SCG and I dance for a bit...meanwhile he would keep holding onto my dress from the front (he wanted to dance face to face)...and then I guess would keep trying to touch my face? I mean, he would bring his hands up, and I would put my hands up...hard to explain. But yeah...then he asked if he could kiss me, and I said no...he started begging...na wa o, see me see trouble. When he realized I was not going to allow him a kiss, he tried to take it by force. Kept leaning into me...and then I started leaning back...the more I leaned back (his hands were around my waist)...the more he leaned forward. At some point he realized he was not going to get anything and decided to just kiss my forehead. Probably that was the story of my night. But yeah...apart from the usual guys trying to place their hands on places where they don't belong...that was all.

One of my friend's also started getting a little too flirtatious with my friend who gave us a ride. I don't know...I may stop bringing my male friends around her...she wants to flirt with all of them saying that they are all cute. Anyways...I am thinking of setting her up with this guy who has been talking to me lately. I'm not quite sure about this guy...like whether or not he likes me...if he does...I better set them up fast. He's cute, no doubt about it, they are both Ghanaian (not that that is the deciding factor), but I think that they might get along well. So...I'm going to get to work on that.

This male friend of mine thinks that he likes me...actually he and my boyfriend think that every guy likes me. Their idea is "assume every guy likes you unless they prove you wrong." Ladies...do you guys use this kind of thinking? Tell me what you all think. And guys...is this accurate or not?
