Tonight a dancer sat at my table and just chatted with me for like 20 minutes. It was a nice chat, she seemed interesting, nothing was wrong with this. But the whole time I was wondering whether there was something I was supposed to be doing. Did she want money for time? Was she waiting for me to ask for a dance? Isn't it the dancer who offers rather than the customer who asks? I wasn't sure what was happening.
In fact the only reason the chat ended was, I had to leave.
Like I said, she was nice, there was nothing unpleasant about the interaction, we actually had an interesting conversation. But I have no idea if there was something I was expected to be doing that I wasn't doing. I mean prior to this I assumed all interactions with dancers, however pleasant, were to her mind oriented towards her making money. But this felt for all the world like just two people chatting, with nothing else happening except for the bit where she had to go on stage in the middle. (During which time I did tip her, ftr!)
