I did a lot of clubbing in the 90’s. My reason for going was primarily to dance and secondarily have some drinks. Heck, I still head over to Neo once in a while for New Wave Thursdays. There aren’t a lot of places that regularly feature industrial electronica/dance any more. It’s a happy place for me, and I will truly weep if that place ever closes.
Don’t.
Witticisms are very suave in the decade I inhabit.
Just a marginally more civilized dating-and-mating strategy, but still reminiscent of its original origins (from which the term “clubbing” derives).

Screaming is part of the whole process. You yell to be heard over the music, the music gets turned up to drown out all the people yelling, you yell louder over the louder music.
Finally you lean over and, with your mouth right next to her ear, you yell “let’s get out of here!” She yells, “What?” I said “Let’s get out of here!”
She yells “Sure, I’ll have a beer!”
Eventually she leans over and yells into your ear, “Let’s get out of here!”
Then you go home and have sex.
Geeky gay male here. With an aversion to embarrassment / humiliation (see this other thread, now in Café Society).
Don’t even know the basic protocols on dealing with a doorman, cover charges (paid to whom?), tipping, etc. And certainly not educated on interaction with fellow clubbers (apart from what is seen in movies). Consequently, have never approached a club.
(Am lucky to have found a soulmate in some other manner.)
Am glad to see I’m not the only one uneducated in these matters. Thanks, ThelmaLou !
Watch a documentary on Netflix streaming called The Electric Daisy Carnival Experience. Clubbing is like that, only smaller and without carnival rides and circus acts.
I think there’s a pretty good chance the experience would actually kill me.
Aw… I’m happy for you. 
Is it *possible *to find one’s soulmate while clubbing? Mine would be home watching free Amazon videos. Or reading. Or doing laundry.
Me, too! You’re welcome.
