[nabs-l] phone numbers at night clubs

[Serena]

Hi list,

I don't go to clubs, so I'm not the expert, but the only issue I'd have 
about letting the person who's number you want put the number in your phone 
is How well do you guys really know one another if you just met at a club? 
How do you know if the person isn't drunk/high when he/she says he/she's 
gonna give you his/her number or asks you for yours?  Sighted folks may or 
may not know this answer, either, but can see the look on the person's face 
to judge the situation.

Serena
