So I go out clubbing tonight...
I've been making a concerted effort not to assume the worst; but I read that post over a few times before responding. It's uncouth, it's disturbing, and it concerns me.

Diamond head, At no point did the poster we're referencing say to GO UP TO A GIRL AND SAY THIS. He was saying he said this to women he thought we're playing games with him at the club. The women who go around to all the guys they find attractive after being dumped or dumping thier boyfriend just to see who will bite on her bait. While his remarks were cold, you must look at it in his perspective to truly understand what he meant.
I AGREE that these were not the best words chosen, but he has a right to express his opinion. Just as much as you have the right to ignore it.
I really think you're on to something

I was absolutely furious. So the one thing she wants to do after being in a relationship with such a feeble excuse for a form of life, is to go whore herself out to whoever else she can find who she thinks still cares about her? Yet again, I'd been led on for no good reason without even suspecting a thing.
So why am I writing this? Basically I'd like to know from anyone so kind as to let me know - how do I avoid such a thing happening in future? Is there any way to tell if someone is just leading me on? The same thing has happened to me on many occasions before, and I'm never able to tell the difference between that, and if somebody is actually genuinely interested in me

This is exactly the same for me too.

Or maybe she took E. It would certainly explain the touchy feely thing. Also, it wouldn't be terribly hard to know if someone's drunk.
And like someone else said - clubbing?! Something I'd never do because weird stuff like that might happen. Too much human contact in a short period of time. More importantly, I don't dance.
I have to admit, i too had a thing for a girl for years. But what I ultimately realized was that she really didn't care about me. I was just some guy she had a class with years back. So I've learned to turn off my stalkerish instincts and gauge my feelings against what others probably feel about me.
