I will try to keep this concise but this is a quick report on myself venturing into what was for me uncharted water.

Some background info: I've been bed-ridden for the start of the week and recovering from some arse of an illness for the latter part and last night was my first night out since sunday so I was still not 100% well (translates to the alcohol hit me harder). Secondly my friend had just ended a very long relationship so I wasn't out to pick up any girls and leave him wallowing on his own.


Ok so I hooked up with my friend at his campus (I had never been there before and knew nobody) and we started the evening with a couple drinks at his place. We later ventured to the bar where we met with a couple friends of his and at this point in time I am completely sober and in complete control of myself.

Here's where things started to go tits up the girl behind the bar got our drinks wrong and as well as what I ordered I got something that I didn't at the time know what it was, later turns out to be a LOT of rum which is the sole drink that I don't handle too well.

Still feeling perfectly fine I decide to see how well i can handle a set of 1 girl and 5 guys while my friend is chatting to somebody he knows. Things are going pretty well and i'm getting on with the whole group (I'd like to point out that at no point in the night did I have ANY intentions of getting with the girl and that I was merely seeing if I can disarm a group of guys)

I made a small joke at how much drink they'd all wasted between them as I was pouring the remains of their finished pints into one glass to make a dirty pint. At this point i'm starting to get a bit of a buzz from the alcohol I had consumed and I end up downing the "dirty pint" while one of the group members downs his drink.

This is where group dynamics just flip and I really can't see what went wrong, one guy in the group decided that he just didn't like me and him along with a few of his friends turned quite hostile and it got to the point where the girl in the group decided to leave the group with me to find my friend (this was entirely her idea).

Now at this point I can say that i'm past the tipsy stage but not completely "off my twat", minutes later I find my friend and we decided to head back to my campus. We walk past the group of guys and something was said to me and stupidly I give the AMOG the finger, he then follows me wanting to fight and ignores me when I tell him I don't want to fight him, as I'm walking out of the door the bitch scratches my hand (I don't know how, it was only after i left i saw the cuts) and takes a cheap headbutt on my nose, I continue to walk outside shrugging him off and sit down while I wait for this guy's friend to clear off (he was thinking I was going to go back in and make a scene). We then left the site and jumped on a bus back to mine where I bumped into a friend from home (goodtimes!! ).

I know that I shouldn't have consumed so much alcohol in an unwell state and that I "maybe" shouldn't have given this guy the finger but is there anything I could've done differently if I was to rerun this night again?

(It's worth noting my friend got the idea that I was into this girl although and no point in the interaction did I indicate this with body language or words, could it have been possible she was attracted to me solely through my outter game? It's possible that he assumed this because she walked away from the group with me)
