We chatted for a while then went to join in the dancing.
I soon noticed an older-looking guy staring at me.
Every time I glanced in his direction he was staring and I felt really uncomfortable.
He tried to grab my hand to pull me towards him but I moved away.
Then I felt him behind me, touching me in places where no woman should be touched without consent.
I went outside and burst into tears.
Now I’m terrified of going clubbing in case it happens again.
I don’t want to miss out on socialising with my friends but I am so scared.
