About 10 years ago when I was in college, I was part of an organization that had a conference out of town. About 15 of us from my campus traveled a few hours away to another school for a weekend of what ended up being heavy drinking.
The first night we were there we had a welcome/ intro meeting in an auditorium. Our group pregamed at the hotel before heading over. There were only a few girls, none of Us really knew what we should wear, but we figured since we all planned to go out afterward we would semi-dress up. It was early spring and freezing out. So I ended up wearing heel boots, a sweater dress, and thick tights.
The welcome meeting was a total blow off, so we got out of there as soon as we could and headed to the bar. From there we got quite a few drinks and did some chatting, laughing, dancing. I’m typically pretty introverted, but was having some fairly in depth conversation with one of the quieter guys we were with. He was cute looking, but I had definitely never been really attracted to him. Eventually some of the group started to split off and head back to the hotel. At that point I was still talking to the cute guy, and we decided to walk back.
