A Decision Made
Last night, it was my friend Hamed's 22nd birthday. He asked me to come out for a wild night, but I told him: "I got alot of work to do, an essay due in on Monday, I'm really tired, and I've gotta work as a tempura chef on Saturday..." Basically, all the reasons one can give. But he looked upset and persuaded me. "I just turn up for a few drinks then", I thought.
Scu Bar 2 is just opposite where I lived, so it wasn't too hard to locate it. As a good gesture: I bought him a shot of tequila - one for myself as well. Situations got slightly out of hand, and by the time it reached 10pm: we licked alot of salt, drank alot of tequila and sucked on plenty of lime. Not a wise decision.
Later, he decided that everybody should go for a dance in a nigthclub called M2. I was reluctant to go, gave my excuses again, but he was getting drunk and would not take "no" as an answer. I thought: "no harm, just bear with him for today... Gotta watch out for him too..."
It was amazing how we got into the club with 8 drunk people (only me and another Korean guy maned Ajin, a restaurant workmate of mine, stayed relatively sober). We started dancing on the dance floor. However, the situation changed dramatically. In came 4 Spanish girls, friends of my other workmate named Hideki (half Japanese half Spanish). Might be just me, but they started to get abit... Close.
They're just friendly, I thought. Then phase 2 came: 2 English girls just came from nowhere and started dancing with me, sandwiching me in between. A sudden feeling of guilt and disgust came over me. This is a new feeling for me, what should be done?
A) Continue dancing and have a good time with no intentions.
B) Ask one of the girls whether they want to go somewhere "quieter". (I DID have a good chance)
or
C) Reject them modestly and stay away from them.
My decision was: I left the dance floor, bought a Jack Daniel Coke, and sat on the corner by myself, smoking. I finally figured out where this feeling of guilt came from. It din't take a genius really. I miss my girlfriend, Valentina. This had made me miss her even more. I sipped my drink slowly, and without notice, I went through half a pack of cigarettes in a short time of an hour. I made my decision: its time for me to go. After saying short farewells to everybody and the birthday boy (whom is gropping all the girls' arse on the dance floor), I left.
Just out of interest, would like to hear my fellow friends on their choices. Male AND female!

ohh hey!! sorry have not been consistent commenting..din know u were writing a lot. Exams memang...makes me a bit ngong ngong. my posts recently pun getting shorter and shorter.
Mmm...i would've continued dancing, but maybe slip out of the sandwich like a slippery cucumber would. probrably dance at the periphery of the group. even if i didn't intend to do so i would've cos its scary to have guys i don't know dance too close to me.heck i even have trouble dancing close to guy friends. maybe you can try my way?
li ann: like a sliperry cucumber? hahaha... i like dat! =P so, do u hav a problem wif getting close 2 guy friends? like hugs dancing holding hands etc?
Chung, I've given you my opinion on long distance relationships and given that I went through a pretty rough experience myself (and I know a few others who experienced similar situations), dancing with random people shouldn't make you feel guilty or being friendly. The exception is when you do things of that sort with the intention to cheat and I know that you have the dignity not to do such a thing.
Besides that, just take it easy mate.
mike: me good boy... me no cheat! =P
