This post probably won't contain any useful information, but is just a general rant about picking up at clubs... definitely feel free to post feedback!
This past week I made the leap and started going to clubs alone. I got tired of my friends dictating when to leave (because they usually drove), where to go, or sometimes not even wanting to go... Anyway, when I got there I was VERY nervous, but that feeling gradually left as the night went on. It turned out I knew a few people there, but as VERY casual acquantences; still, that helped a little.
Unless I'm completely drunk I have pretty much zero pick-up skills... I know I'm better looking than most other guys in the clubs, but I can't do anything with it. It really got to me when this HB 9 was all over some short dude that was balding... that lessened my confidence right away. The other problem I had was the number of guys that LOVE to do the sneak up from behind move... Where the girl is dancing with their back towards them, but the guy thinks they're dancing with him, so he goes in. It may work for some, but I'm not a guy to sneak touches on a girl. Anyway, as the night went on I talked with one girl, who approached me, but I wasn't really interested... still though, she's a regular so I made a new friend.
Near the end of the night I started feeling like such a dweeb. There were many times a girl was facing me and dancing that I didn't do anything, and I have no clue why. I didn't smile, say hi, or even hold out my hand for them to dance with me. Part of me didn't want to seem like all the other "sneaky sleeze" guys there, but another part of me didn't want to be turned down. Finally as the night was pretty much done, a girl was leaning on the bar next to me. I said that it was hot in here... and then asked if she comes here a lot. And then I had no clue what to do next...
Blah.
I'm off to try it again this week at the same place and see what happens, but any suggestions would help. Also, please post other experiences or feedback!
Later guys.
