A dancer had mentioned that her birthday was last week. I was at a store before going to the club and saw they sold a birthday themed gift card, so on a whim I picked one up. When I saw the dancer I teased her a little, asking her what was new, pretending I didn't remember. When she finally said (a little sadly) that she had just had a birthday I wished her Happy Birthday and handed her the gift card. She hugged me, and then got real quiet. I think I even saw a tear in her eye. She excused herself to go to the dressing room. She returned just as the 2-4-1 was announced, took me by the hand and without a word led me to the back room. Once we were on the couch, she leaned in close and whispered that only two people had gotten her birthday presents, her Mom and me. She then proceeded to give me two of the highest mileage dances I've ever gotten in that club. Afterward she gave me her number and said to text her so we could get together, because she wasn't done thanking me yet. Hmmmmm…
So, have you noticed that dancers tend to get very emotional around their birthdays?
Yes, dancers expect a lot of attention on their birthdays and can become very sad when "no one remembers." Ordinarily, boyfriends and husbands do the dinner, flowers, gift and worship routine--or else. A dancer may not be in a relationship where that special day makes her the center of attention. She hopes a customer or a regular might fill the void. And you did. Warning: Her affection will soon fade. What have you done for me, lately?
