College Nights Out: With The Lads vs. With Your Girlfriend

When you're in a relationship, a night out on the town is very different to what it is when you're single and ready to mingle like a Pringle. Furthermore, your experience and approach to the night out is defined by whether or not you do or do not have your significant other to keep you company that night:

Getting Ready:

With My Girlfriend:

"I've got to look sharp for the missus."

Flying Solo:

"If I'm not trying to impress anyone, how much effort do I really need to put into my appearance?"

Pre-drinking with her friends:

With My Girlfriend:

I'm not going to admit it, but I really hope you don't leave me by myself.

Flying Solo:

I have no idea, this has never happened to me.

Pre-Drinking with your friends:

With My Girlfriend:

"I won't wander off as long as you keep me sober enough."

Flying Solo:

"Lads night out! Except for all the other people here with significant others, but just so we're clear I do thoroughly enjoy all of your girlfriends company. I'll shut up now."

At the Club:

With My Girlfriend:

"I'm not sure what it is I do that embarrasses you, but I'll try not do it."

Flying Solo:

"Right, time to act the bollox."

Smoking area:

With My Girlfriend:

"Of course I'm not going for a cigarette, I just want some air, you know I've quit."

Flying Solo:

"Can I scab a smoke?"

Dancing:

 With My Girlfriend:

Finally! I'm sick of dancing by myself.

Flying Solo:

Where my boys at? Occupied with lady friends? Ok, just gonna dance by myself then.

Getting The Shift:

With My Girlfriend:

Aaaaah Yeah.

Flying Solo:

I'm just so lonely right now.

Getting Food:

 With My Girlfriend:

I know we've stopped pretending to be healthy people around each other, but even in this state I can't let you know the truth about how bad I really am.

Flying Solo:

Two Big Macs, Six Chicken McNuggets, Large Fries and a Fanta, please.

End of the Night:

With The Missus:

I need to go to bed, but then again...

Flying Solo:

I need to go to bed.
