You'll get lots of male attention, judging from your profile (young, blue eyed, etc.) -- which can be enjoyable, but it can also get annoying at times as there's loads of smarmy types here. Just a word of warning: Arab men can be charismatic and disarming, but they're also a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing if you will -- they'll flatter you like you've never been flattered before, but you will rarely amount to anything more in their eyes than a nice piece of a** (IMHO). These guys are players and many of them are prone to some not-so-nice behaviors with women, so proceed with caution.
There is a bit of a night life here, but Doha is not NYC or anything near that so the club scene leaves a great deal to be desired.
That said, you can live quite comfortably here and create a nice life for yourself with a little effort.
The expat community here is strong and wide-ranging so you will meet all sorts of people here -- and that's one of Doha's strongest points, I think -- the variety of friends that you will make.
There's no pork, but you can get alcohol, and truly the place is like a little bastion of every franchise known to man. There's Marks&Spencers, Starbucks, Mango, Chilis, Nandos, etc...it's an easy life here.
