    I went to a lesbian club thingy last night. It was great, heaps of good looking girls etc. I am very shy and don't dance. I was just standing around minding my own business, when this massive, butch, muscly girl came and sexy-danced me up against a wall!! I didn't know what to do. I mean, I kind of enjoy it, to be honest, but in the moment I was just trying my best to escape. My friend said I looked terrified! I couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day today, though.

    Anyway, this brings me to some questions. I am rather naiive and inexperienced... I have noticed that in these sorts of clubs, some girls seem to just come on to everyone, even if they have a girlfriend. I am just crap at social stuff and I need some advice. How do you know if someone is actually interested in you, or if they are just having some fun? I am really afraid that I may get the wrong message and/or get taken advantage of. I am looking for a girlfriend, not a casual 'fling'. And what should I do if I am interested in someone? I mean, I am way too scared to initiate conversations with people. Does eye contact do the trick?

    Gosh I am tragic...

    :slight_smile: how cute! I love naiive (probably because I am too lol)
    Anyway, getting past your shyness a little bit will help; I don't have much advice. But obviously standing around looking pretty works for you so maybe stick with it. Lol

    one of the reasons I havent gone to a lgbt friendly club/full on gay club.

    I feel totally socially inept about me being gay. I have no experince with romance, gay or otherwise. I fear someone might try something with me, and I wont know how to react to such a situation.

    Hmmm
    well from my experience if you make sure the night ends with you each others phone numbers and not sleeping with each other then there is a possibility that they would want something more with you.
    But even if you do sleep with each other they could still want more, i honestly think you have to talk about where you wanna go with someone to know what's gonna happen.
