This thread reminds me that I haven't been clubbing in a really really long time.
OP - I was the opposite of you, always in the middle of the floor dancing the night away. The best thing about clubs is that NOBODY CARES. Everyone will be drinking, dancing, talking, having a good time. Most of the time, everyone just minds their own business having enjoying themselves. Just have a nice drink, relax, talk to people, and be yourself. If you are not comfortable being in the middle of action, don't be. Find a nice comfortable spot to hang out at and just watch people.
Aahaha...that's why my friends bring me along. Crazy Irish gal!<<<<
It was OK. I'm glad I figured out clubbing isn't my thing!
The club was PACKED. Once inside, they immediately slapped a Designed Driver wristband on me which entitled me to free non-alcoholic drinks all night. My friends made a bee-line to the bar and I found an empty table.
The fun lasted for about a half hour when everyone was still sober. I asked my friends how long they were planning on staying (in the nicest way possible) and was informed 'until the club closes'...which I found out was at 2:30am. It was only 9. AHHHH!
The club is set-up with four different themed rooms--disco, country, hip-hop, and karaoke. 90% of our time was spent in the disco room, which was rather lame. I would have much preferred the country room, but no one else was interested. I ventured in to it alone at one point, but lost interest.
The music was way too loud to carry on a single conversation, so meeting new people was completely out of the question. That was a bummer. Most of the time was spent yelling at drunk people who were falling over each other. I opted not to dance at all, because the dance floors were just a bunch of people holding alcohol and grinding up against each other. Not my taste at all.
We left at 12:30.
The thing is, I'm not an uptight, impatient, or an easily annoyed person--AT ALL! The fact that I turned into this person tells me clubbing is definitely not for me. I'm very glad I tried it once. I might go again if there was someone else who wasn't drinking. It sure beat sitting at home alone like I usually do.
P.S. The designated driver thing was a joke. I couldn't make my friends give me their keys. I ended up driving two people to their car a few miles away, but they still had to drive home and insisted they were sober enough (they weren't). Another two friends stayed at the club and PROMISED they would get a cab home. I texted one at 1:30 and she said she was still there. I have yet to hear back from her to see if she made it home. I don't like being in the position of designated driver whose drivees () won't let her drive them! Ugh.
Sorry you didn't have that great of a time. Usually DD's get screwed over in this situation because you are having to deal with drunk party animals all night and unless you have a strong, outgoing personality (w/out alcohol ) , you end up having a miserable time.
Now you can say you've tried it and it's not your thing. At this point in my life, it's not my thing either.
Well, it's a fact of life that drunk people are only fun when you're also drunk. Otherwise, they're either amusing or annoying and you end up babysitting.

I was just about to type the same thing. If you aren't drunk, the last place you want to be is a big building filled with drunk people. Drunks are boring and annoying, you have to either join them or totally steer clear.

HA! Back in my juvenile (ok yeah, add delinquent after juvenile) days....
One time ,( ok actually a couple times ) my friends and I were partying, I had beer....ugh and a couple joints, they decided to drop some acid also. I couldn't bring myself to do that. Needless to say while I had a buzz going on, they took off to a level I couldn't even comprehend.
LOL we were sitting on a bridge and they were laughing at some stuff that I was like WTF?
LOL even so, watching them cracked me up, they were seeing some kind of grass hopper or something , they were pointing at it and I can tell you, I didn't see it.....lol.
