Hey, I havent been around here lately

Anyway, my question is how do some of you feel about it? Say you are just getting to know a guy, say within the first couple of months of being together. Do you feel like bars and clubs are a suitable environment?

Im not so much focused on whether someone tries to 'steal' someone from me, but just more or less the atmosphere and ambience just seems not a good idea anymore.

Im 22, and I love going out but last Friday a guy and I who I been seeing for the past month went out to a club. 2 things happened which wasnt very romantic. 1st He thought a guy I went up to was my 'baby daddy' (I dont have any kids ) but we just happened to have partied some years ago and I recognized him.

2nd thing, there was a huge brawl in the club right in front of us...and Im just thinking, this is so high schoolish and not a good way to spend the evening in front of a bunch of clowns.

And then you have stuff like running into X's, people you used to date, friends you may not want to see...all of that just makes a date kind of 'sour and emotional'. So Im just like no more going to bars and clubs for dates UNLESS its a small place away from the city center where the chances of you running into people like that are slim.

Who else agrees that going to a bar/club for a date is starting to not be a good idea?

It depends on the club and the bar. I was at a danceclub once with some friends and saw a couple having a lot of fun dancing together alone, with no group of friends or anything like that (and they were clearly boyfriend and girlfriend, not just two people who randomly met that night).

I'm not the kind who goes to stuff like that often enough to worry about running into people I know either.

I'm not into bars.

I'm not into crowded places or loud environments either.

And thats all fine and dandy until you either have some nutcase come by and grab your ass, or a huge fight right next to you like happened that night. It can kill the mood instantly...

What kind of clubs do you go to? I go to clubs with skinny hipster kids. No fights beak out. Some people might be crying in the bathroom

Thanks for your input...

However, I need people who actually do like crowded places and have experienced taking a girlfriend/boyfriend to nightclubs and how they feel about doing so.

Sounds like you're going to the wrong places lol.

Stay out of bars/clubs in the hood, college dive bars, or places where incest is considered normal.

When my wife and I go for drinks, we go to this nice lounge that has sushi and house music & such. It's a more mature crowd (25-35 or so) so there aren't any brawls or drama.

Well I'll admit that night was a Mexican bar which played hip hop music, only in Texas, I tell ya LOL. Or out here in the wild west...I really dont like going there but they insisted in doing so anyway. Its known for tramps and fights anyway LOL.

But even still...its not even JUST about the fights. Seems like both times we've gone out he runs into his X, or sees someone he doesnt want to see and it just brings negative vibes. Who wants to be around **** like that?
