"what happened pal"

Went to Cupids last night, a friend of mine wasn't able to make it, started feeling depressed after a few hours as it was a very busy night and I had no one to talk to which made me feel isolated and alone and then started walking back to the hotel after 11pm upset and depressed

i actually watched a louis theroux documentary on swingers last night, he attended a house party with a female friend, she left him to have sex with other people and he said the party was passing him by as he sat watching all the small groups chatting, hardest thing to do is try an introduce yourself into a group, i tried it at the townhouse a while back and was totally ignored, i feel your pain mate, when you don’t know anyone you just feel isolated and the urge to leave increases, that’s what i did in the end.

Easy to say but don’t stress over a crap night at the club.

I know it’s easier said than done, but your fear of not being allowed back is not rational. Just sounds like a bad night. However, if it made you feel like this, is it the best place for you to go and socialise?

If you do go again, could you arrange to meet friends there or go when there is an organised social so people are more open to chatting.

Firstly, we'll done for going out there and putting yourself in a challenging situation despite your Aspergers. I know a lot of people wouldn't step outside their comfort zone quite so easily.

This has happened before I feel so perhaps you need to look at coping techniques for when your friend doesn't show up to stop you from feeling so bad when it happens.

Well you now know it's not a good idea to go alone,but you never know your next visit could be great. I would never go alone as I'm not the best at throwing myself into other people's conversations if I don't know them so don't worry.

Many guys wouldn't have gone alone in the first place so you did well doing that.

I wish I could think of coping techniques but for some reason when I feel sad and depressed, I just end up sitting there and lose interest of doing anything

Sorry to hear that mate. Try and learn from it and put it behind you. Think of what you might do differently and see if you can get an element of control/ structure should it happen again. Maybe chat to a group here and explain that you may want someone to make the first move (in a friendly way) if it happens again.

I guess your friend not showing heightened your anxiety making it even more difficult for you

What can you do today to cheer yourself up? Sunshine works for me. If not music/ chocolate.

And actually anxiety or not I think you're pretty brave going on your own anyway. I'm a confident guy but I'd be nervous going to my first social

I think going alone to a club can be hard for a lot of people. I think you're brave to go along. And it's great it's a place you feel safe to explore. I think it's important to remember as well that even people who are more comfortable in social situations have similar experiences in clubs.

I hope that today is a better day for you x

Ok op. Firstly, sending hugs and sorry you didn’t have a great evening. When I don’t know many people in a club I tend to stay near the bar and chat to people as they’re getting a drink - a short conversation is better than no conversation at all!

Moving forward - how about looking for/attending group socials for a while? By their very nature they’re more sociable than general club events and, because (most) people aren’t just there to chat to potential sex partners, most people are happy to chat to anyone and everyone! You may even find more friends to attend clubs with!

This is a brilliant idea and I can't for the life of me think why a) no other club does this and b) why the idea is frowned upon on the forums (fora?).

The advice on the boards is generally along the lines of a not very helpful "stop being a pansy and go" whenever someone asks about a first visit.

It's almost like clubs want less business and regulars want fewer people to meet with that attitude.

Ease people into the experience and it will surely be a much better one for all concerned?

Easy to say but don’t stress over a crap night at the club."

I have talked about this on my “Diary of a new guy” thread

The space between you and other guests can feel like miles and the silence is deafening. BUT

if you let it get to you it’s always going to get you down.

You literally need to walk up to people and say “hi” trust me no couples/lady is ever gonna say ohh let’s go and talk to that awkward looking guy by himself at that point your body language is probably sending all kind of messages.

If you talking to another guy unless he is the best wingman or you secretly wanna fuck him your wasting time that can used talking to ladies

REMBER !

Every one is in a club to have exciting times so don’t let shyness get in way, if you not good at breaking the ice .PRACTISE !

Where ? Every where set yourself a mission talk to a stranger everyday and get a piece of info from them, next time your grabbing a loaf of bread skip the self service till and go to a till find lady you would consider for fun and go out of your way to make conversation, “ oh busy tonight “ “how’s your day going” your mission is to get them to make eye contact and get a piece of info. Tell me what’s the worse than gonna happen ? They grunt and ask you if you want a bag. You get your bread either way

Practise every where ! The more info you get the more points you get.

Use this skill in the club, think check out Sainsbury’s “ busy in here isn’t ”

Please back me up couples your nervous as us single guys and but feel great if someone makes the effort to break the ice ?

It’s not about confidence it’s about learning to communicate

OP, I can relate to the whole social anxiety and anxiety stuff, and I know how it isn't as easy as just not worrying about things.

As I've said in a recent thread, I remember the start of your Cupids journey and how you've pushed past your comfort zone and got into the scene, and it's really commendable that you tried to go out by yourself last night - one of my managers always says that there's no such thing as failure, just lessons that are learnt for next time.

It's really good that you have something nice to do today.

I’m no where near you or I would of come with you but maybe carry on in the forums and see if anyone is willing to come with you on a night out! There doesn’t have to be etc but at least you can speak to people..so sorry you feel upset and depressed about the situation..

OP. Well done on going to a club , especially as you have aspergers. That is a great achievement.

Some suggestions

You have a lady already kindly offering to go with you and keep you company. Lovely thing to do.

Talk to the bar staff. Let them know you find social interaction difficult and they could help introduce you.

Then practise some introduction phrases such as . Hi , I am Joe mind if I talk to you for a minute.

You can say the same thing to anybody....male, female, couple. Then think of some questions where they answer by talking not just a yes no answer. Have you been to any other clubs.

Just have little chat to a few people

Hope that helps . Message me if you want any other tips . But be proud that you are recovering ok today and you plan to go back.

"Next time you decide to go to Cupids contact me and if I am free I will come with you .

When I used to go to Clubs I only socialise anyway so it’s cool with me if you can respect this .

I will introduce you to a few nice people .

Thank you. That would be very helpful. My next evening visit will be next month but if I might be on holiday then so it could be in June instead. I will be going again next week during the day and a friend will be there to keep me company which is good plus it will be quieter as well

a cruel, callous and totally out of order response. Just because you find it easy to socialize, not every one does, sorry mate but think before you post a comment like that

I think he also has to be mindful of the times that his social skills have gone out the window at events

I wasn't expecting sex, I just wanted a friend to hang out with for the night. Like I said I have Asperger's which makes socialising almost impossible "

The advice on the boards is generally along the lines of a not very helpful "stop being a pansy and go" whenever someone asks about a first visit.

I thought of this when I saw this thread, especially men get this "advice"

I think the good and polite advice on this thread should apply to anyone "
not everyone is from gwew

I'm loving the majority of the feedback on here. I have an older teenage son who has been diagnosed with Aspergers. My fear as a mother is that he will struggle out there in the world. The struggle is so real for them in social situations. Not understanding how to read people and social cues etc. To hear such awareness from others fills my wee heart

The bravery of this young man for doing something like this is commendable. My boy struggles to leave the house himself never mind go to a club! Big admiration from me to you young man xxx

Spindler, I think you've come a long way from the person that first started on the forums. I'm going to paraphrase Yvaine, we can learn from mistakes. I hope you're feeling better. And I'm yet to go to a club, nevermind on my own.
