There are things that happen in the nightlife scene that can’t be stopped. Below is a list of a couple things that can happen to any girl on a night out, but also ways to avoid the distress when possible. Whether its a girls night out or a co-ed crazy party, just remember the number one rule is to have an amazing night with friends and make great (and safe!) memories!
Don’t wear huge stilettos
A lot of ladies love to wear those gorgeous heels that can add inches to their height. Sometimes, even I feel pressured before going out to strap on the tallest pair I own. Heels can be the right choice if you’re going to a nice dinner or out to a formal event, but dancing for 4 hours in a dark club will only make your feet hate you. The only women who really get away with wearing stilettos to the club have used valet services and have a VIP table. If you’re anything like me, you’re scouring to find street parking three blocks away and have to “sit” by balancing a cheek on a railing. Instead of high heels, a more realistic option is to wear a pair of wedges that are still sexy but have more support. A pair of cute flats or even low heels are also great alternatives.
Don’t try to impress people with your dance moves in a mini skirt
Going out dancing with friends is the perfect time to show off your moves. However, if you know you’re going to bust out some crazy stuff in that dance circle, wear a really cute pair of shorts or spandex shorts underneath your dress to avoid giving a free show. Too many times, I’ve seen a girl try to impress a good-looking man by winding and grinding, only to wind a liiiittle too much! Since it’s getting cold, a pair of leggings with a sexy top, a blazer, and boots will keep you warm, and covered! If you still crave wearing a skirt, wearing a pair of dark colored tights can save you from a wardrobe malfunction.
Don’t request a song and get mad at the DJ when it doesn’t come on
It seems like such a simple thing, right? It’s his job to play music, so when there’s a summer anthem that hasn’t been played yet, you might think it’s your job to tell him he needs to play it! The thing is, most DJ’s are working with a limited library of music. He or she has already made an entire set list for the night; they don’t just wing it. Now, I’m not giving DJs everywhere a free pass to deny our requests, but if a DJ ends up skipping a song that night, don’t hold a grudge, just have the D.D. blast it on the way home!
Don’t cry
I know this seems like an extremely obvious thing to point out, but after a couple of bahama mama’s, this line becomes blurred. Going out with a lot on your mind can be a huge no-no. At first, it seems like a great way to blow of some steam, but all going out does is distract you for a little while. After a couple of drinks, our minds can grab onto the things we’re most stressed about. The next thing you know, all of that emotion comes rushing back the minute we hear that “one song”. If you feel upset and just want to dance the night away, I say party on! However, if you think you’re about to have a monent at a bar or club, I suggest going outside and catching your breath. Ignore those texts and phone calls if a certain someone is the reason for the anger or distress. Just enjoy your girls and the night!
Don’t just leave to go somewhere without telling anyone
Yet another seemingly obvious rule, but you’d be surprised how many friends I have that are “wanderers.” You’re out on the dance floor, screaming the lyrics to your favorite song, when you decide you need to use the rest room or get another drink. You think you made the universal “I’ll be right back” eye contact with a friend and run off. Meanwhile, your friends are scouring the club looking for you. In a lot of clubs in the city, you shouldn’t go somewhere without backup anyway, but if you’re someone who likes to fly solo for a couple of minutes, make sure you vocalize as best you can where you’re going and when you’ll be back. I had to compromise with my friends and agree if one of them is going somewhere alone she needs to physically hold her phone in her hand to feel it vibrate if one of us has to text or call.
