it was my first year of university and i didn’t have a canadian id yet since i had just moved from california, so i left my id at home. telling the person at the door that i was 18 seemed to be enough for them to let me in though. he came over a little while after i walked in, asked me to dance, and we chatted for a bit. we sat on the stairs at this persons house and talked about music and how he used to be a beekeeper. i wouldn’t give him any of my contact information, so he finally gave me his business card with his phone number and email and asked me to call. i said i never would, went home, put the card on my fridge and then a week later, invited him to go out to a haunted house with a few friends of mine. and from then on, it’s been going strong.

we actually barely talked that night because we were both having so much fun talking to everyone......he made so many friends and it added an extra joke element to the party....he told me later that he was actively grateful for the invite and did in fact have a wonderful time. love it. don't think im going to go on a date with him but he is definitely invited to the next function

Last year, I made a new acquaintance at a house show & learned that she DJ'd on the side! She invited me to a party that she was DJ'ing a few weeks (?) later, so I drove to the address. Apparently it was a random warehouse space in downtown Orlando. There was a huge skateboard ramp in there and t-shirt printing supplies in the back, I think? Watching her play was really fun. At one point she even hooked up a Nintendo D.S. and made a beat on one of the games!!
The parking situation downtown is confusing, so I ended up parking my car in front of the church next door while their nighttime service was going on. The parking lot was full of other cars and there was no signage for towing, so I figured it was fine. There was also a fence around the parking lot, but I didn't notice the gate until I came out of the party and found my car sitting alone there, locked inside. I called the church and the nice guy on the other end said I could pick it up in the morning, so I Uber'd home. The next day, I came to pick up my car and had to wait about half an hour for the church man to get there.
As I was standing there, wearing an outfit that was hardly goth at all, this random guy on the street told me: "I just gotta say, I love your gothic style. I ain't gonna lie, baby, you're gorgeous. I'm sure you got a girlfriend though, right? Okay, well, remember me!" Somehow he clocked me as queer and hit on me at the same time. I decided to wait indoors after that. Eventually I did get my car back, but everything that happened in those 12 hours felt so random.

my friends and i love a bit, so I was forced to approach a guy I thought was cute at the bar and buy him a drink. we got the bartender in on it (who turned out to be his friend, told me his fav drink and that he was single). We ended up chatting over paper planes for like an hour before I retreated back to my friends after we exchanged contact info.
Alas nothing came of it, but either way, I've been riding the high of approaching a literal stranger in public since then and realized it wasn't as heinous an experience as I thought it would be.
