Welcome back to Waiting for Tonight. This is Part 2 of this segment (Please ensure that you have read part 1 before proceeding). I am your host Mr. Impact “the online alter-ego”. We last left off when I was initially unsure that I should go out to the club with a female friend. After further contemplation and advice from others I was confident to hit the “club scene” with my friend. During the course of the day I made sure that I was going to look my best. I even spent 3 (yes you heard me) hours in Potomac Mills to find something to wear. My uncertainty about this night continues to wear off as I approached our time to proceed to the club. My digital clock strikes 9 as I head out the door to meet her and her friends. We all got along fine and I was calm and relax (I wonder if this was assisted by the Hennessey and Heineken from Fridays’ that I had prior to our meeting). We proceeded to the Nation’s Capital and enjoyed our ride up Interstate 95 as we headed to Club H20.
We get out of the car into a cold Friday night and were met by the line in front of our targeted party destination. The more we stood in the line to wait, the more confident and now anxious I was becoming to start this night and enjoy the time with her. She seemed to show interest and excitement up to this point. I always wonder if females changed when they get around their friends and go to a party scene (i.e. club). This was not the case as she did not change her style or attitude and this drew me closer to her as the night continued. We have all seen those times when you go out with your friends and they seem to become something that you are not accustomed to. This makes you become hesitant to continue to deal with them and it could become a complete turn-off.
We had an embarrassing moment as we stood in the “Guest List” line to proceed in the club, when we were told that we were not on the Guest List. The friend that accompanied us to the club insisted that we were on there and it turned out to be the opposite. Some would deem this as an immediate stopper to the night, but it was then suggested that we head to the club next door called Zanzibar. I have heard of this club for many years and have yet to experience what it had to offer. I was immediately filled with excitement as we headed to the line. Once we entered, I instantly proceeded to my favorite spot in a club (you guess it…the bar). After I was relaxed and comfortable that we were in the club I was ready and willing to have a great night. We danced, laughed, and smiled the night away to the sounds of Beyonce, Jay-Z, T-Pain and many more. I really enjoyed myself and was even more interested as she looked sexy, radiant and any pleasing adjective that you can think of in the dictionary. As the end of the night drew near, I was overjoyed with this proposition and hoping that this would not be the last time and there are many more to come.
In conclusion, I am pleased overall that she asked me to accompany her to the club. Once I thought about accepting her offer, it occurred to me that it was an honor for me to be approached about being her company. It does not matter what you do, or where you go but only that you spend the time with the people who enjoys you the most. If I would have declined the offer, I believe that it would have been for selfish reasons and she does not deserve that type of behavior. when men go to clubs we want to meet and greet with other females as well. This can be for several reasons. The dynamics of this change when you have a female friend with you. This is especially if she is interested in you. You must carry yourself in a respectable manner. I think this can also serve as a way for you and your partner to observe each other in the public atmosphere. If you are comfortable with yourself in being in those surrounding you can carry yourself if a manner that will be pleasing to you and her. Until next time join me in “The Impact Place”, where we will discuss many more topics.
Singing off,
Truly yours,

I am glad you went. But I also wish that at times you would not over analyze the situation. Go with the flow "Mr Impact". You'll loose out on a lot of opportunities and fun times if you think about it too much.
P.S. I don't know if this blog is too formal, but if I didn't know who you were, I would not know this was your writing. Try using your own voice!
Ha... sounds like you made a good decision Mr. Impact. As Miss C stated in her comment, this writing did not sound like your voice at all. I could tell it was you through a few of your gestures or sly remarks, but most of this sounded like you were trying too hard to use big words. That blows that ya'll couldn't get into H20, but way to still have an open mind and enjoy the night anyway. I know you have been to Zanzibar, but I'm Curious if you have been to any other clubs in the D.C Area?
Signing out,
Lil Rosey
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and are pleased with the decision you made. The beginning and end of your writing sounds like that radio show on at nights, Delilah, where she has people call in and request love songs.
I agree with the other two. There are those moments where your personality is apparent through your writing but not throughout it, let your personality show through your writing.
You know, I have to respectfully disagree with the other posters here: I like that you switch it up: this blog feels like part advice column, part social experiment. And you're going with that, so it's good. My only suggestion would be to watch the tense shifting. Since you're speaking generally about past events, stick to the past tense. That will create more of an even flow to the content.
And I wondered in part 1 if she is your "girlfriend"? Do you have that label with your lady friend you went to the club with? What were her perceptions of the evening?
Well, I am glad that even though you thought that it might not turn out that good, that it did. 3 whole HOURS to find something to wear?! (LOL)And I thought that my husband was the only one like that. I think that you providing the little details (such as the time, and how it was cold out, etc.) makes this blog work really well in your favor. I agree with Julie, I like the way this is written and how you switch things up. Your blog has a nice flow to it. So do you think that you will be going out with this lady again?
It sounds like you had fun and it was just the two of you. Which is great you get better time. Which club did you like better? I have been to H20 before. Spending alot of time in the mall for an outfit was telling me your interested in this young lady!! When is the next date.
Well I guess you ended up making a good decision by going out on the date because you both ended up having a good time and I am glad that everything went well beside finding out after standing in line that you weren't on the guest list for H20. I have to say along with others that have posted to your blog it seems like at times your just trying to hard and forgetting just to let yourself show through you blog writing. But besides that I like reading your blogs and look forward to what's next to come
