Most girls will give off clues when they aren\u2019t interested. Take note if she\u2019s moving away or her friends are pulling her away. You\u2019re better off swallowing your pride than becoming the \u201ccreeper\u201d of the club.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do:<\/strong>\u00a0Bring Your Boys..<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re approaching a girl who\u2019s with a\u00a0 bunch of her friends, then approaching them all with a group of your buddies will give you a better shot of not getting turned down\u2026or at least being the\u00a0<em>only<\/em>\u00a0one to get turned down.\u00a0 Just make sure you don\u2019t all approach them like a heard of animals. Traveling in groups always seems to take the pressure off the situation.\u00a0 It\u2019s always easier to joke with your friends about being rejected when your friends got rejected too!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Don\u2019t:\u00a0<\/strong>Pull her away from her friends<\/h2>\n<p>Girls travel in packs, and they usually don\u2019t like to separate\u2026 at least not right away.\u00a0 So when you first start dancing, give her the space to dance with you AND her girls.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want to go yanking her away and having her friends think that you just kidnapped their best friend.\u00a0 Build some\u00a0comfort and attraction\u00a0and then make the move to the little corner in the back of the club.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do:<\/strong>\u00a0Bust Out Your Best Moves\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Impress her with your dance skills and have fun with it. Rather than sticking to the easy dance style of \u201cbump \u2018n\u2019 grind\u201d, think outside the box and move to the beat. Twirl her, dip her, show her you\u2019re not like every other guy who just is using her as something to grind up against.\u00a0 Sure you might come off as being silly, but it\u2019s also cute.\u00a0 Plus, it\u2019s way more attractive to be the guy who is confident, doesn\u2019t care what others think, and enjoys having a good time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Don\u2019t:\u00a0<\/strong>Approach From Behind\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Most guys know one move and one move only: The Grind-From-Behind. They come up from behind their \u201ctarget\u201d when they\u2019re least expecting it, and start grinding away.\u00a0 You shouldn\u2019t be approaching girls on the dance floor the same way you would hunt a wild tiger on an African safari.\u00a0 Giving her no opportunity to see your face, is an easy way to get her her friends to pull her into the girls bathroom and smack the \u201closer\u201d label on you for the rest of the night.\u00a0 Switch things up and\u00a0dance in front\u00a0of her just as much as you dance from behind.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do:<\/strong>\u00a0Just Ask\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Although most guys don\u2019t ask, it\u2019s kind of nice when they do. A simple \u201cmind if I join?\u201d works just fine if you\u2019re approaching her while she\u2019s already on the dance floor.\u00a0 If the two of you are just standing around, you can always take the polite route and say \u201cYou wanna go dance?\u201d or the funny\/cute route and say, \u201cYou wanna go burn some rubber on that dance floor with me?\u201d\u00a0 Either way, you\u2019re giving her the option to decline and that\u2019s a good thing.\u00a0 If she does shoot you down, don\u2019t drop your head, maybe she\u2019s simply in a bad mood or already in a relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Approaching girls on the\u00a0dance floor\u00a0is always a stressful situation.\u00a0 You really want to dance with her but at the same time you don\u2019t want her to be uncomfortable.\u00a0 You want to meet her but you don\u2019t want to get shot down in front of the whole club.\u00a0 You want to get her attention but you&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":620,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
