So I visited my local club last night after checking out a local band... For reference, I was in a particularly generous mood, and was generally happy.
I arrive at the club, tip the doorgirl, get a drink, chat for a bit with the dancer who's next up on stage, tip her for a bit ... get another drink, etc etc.
This dancer comes by and chats for a bit, and quickly moves to the 'wannadance' bit ... and at first, I wasn't really interested. But, like I said, I was feeling particularly generous last night, so I say, "What the heck, sure, why not!" She dances a couple of songs for me, but looks kinda tired, and, quite honestly, I wasn't really in the mood for getting lots of dances anyway, so I tell her I'd be happy to just talk with her for a while, and that I'd still pay for her time. She seems a bit surprised that I'm being so nice to her, but we talk ... eventually, we get a bite of food from the omelette bar, get back to a table with our food ... we keep talking, she appears to be generally happy. At one point, she asks me why I'm such a nice guy, and I tell her the truth - that it's generally my approach to the world (to be nice, that is), and that I've been having a great night, and that I was having a lot of fun just sitting there and talking and whatnot.
So all that goes by (at some point we end up tipping her on-stage friend and a DJ) Towards the end of the evening, she asks me for my number. At no point during the evening did I make any references to anything OTC (not something I ever do anyway), and generally kept my attitude in "SC mode" ... where I take most everything with a grain of salt and/or treat "interest" as general SS...
But this is the first time I had a dancer actually ask me for my number (as opposed to offering hers or something). So I'm confused (having finally learned my lesson from the SS incident that resulted in my first-ever post on SW) - and I ask her up front about her motivations, and tell her that I'm not really interested in extras and such, and that if she wants to keep things at a custy/dancer level, that's fine by me. She looks a bit taken aback, then asks me if I'm married (I'm not) and if I have a girlfriend (I don't) and if I have any kids (I don't) - and just says she'd like to call me and talk some time. I say, "OK, sure, sounds good!" Throughout the night, I've been trying to keep a count on the number of songs, and I come up with "16" - she even tells me "you don't have to pay for that much if you don't want, I lost count after 10" (or something to that effect)... I tell her that she's been working, and she still deserves fair pay. I pay for 16 dances and tip her an extra $60, and make my way out (I'm still feeling generous at this point and tip the DJ and a dancer who was standing by the DJ, just for the heck of it
).
So ... what do y'all think? SS? Or is she expressing "real" interest? In all honesty, I'm not sure how much I'm buying it, but I was surprised when she actually asked for my number.
