I haven't had the club experience yet, so I can't respond to that specific topic, but as a rule, I've never had any problem talking to anyone in any circumstance so I can't see that I would change in that environment.
I'm one of these that can always find something to talk about and only on the rarest of occasions have I encountered people that don't respond. People like to talk about themselves, their work, their ideas, news features, food likes and dislikes, vacations, pets (oh! yes! pets! dogs, cats, birds, snakes, lizards - doesn't matter), children, phone service, price of groceries (and gas currently) and the list just goes on and on. On the very rare occasions I meet someone I just can't stimulate to conversation, I figure they aren't the type of people for me anyway.
I've only met a few couples for dinner and drinks, but haven't had any bad conversation experiences. Maybe a tad tense initially given the purpose of the meeting, but after about 5 minutes, things just seem to flow along.
This reminded me of something off subject. I used to date a fellow (note the past tense) whose main complaint about me (main? one of many complaints!) was that I "knew" everyone. Checkers in the stores, dry cleaning lady, guy at the gas station. That sort of thing. Yeah. I do. And that's bad?
