It's been ages since I've pulled in a club, especially in circumstances where you can't really talk (on the dancefloor), and I've totally lost the feel for it.
However, I've improved myself a bit recently, leading to more opportunities. I've had opportunities before, but not really been sure how to make a move (in opportunities where I 'would').
Last night was a blatant example of this - total opportunity with a really hot woman, and decent opportunities with a couple of other hot women.
I'd rather a long term relationship, but I don't have a problem with casual sex, and you wouldn't either if you saw that girl :^P
So, pulling on a dancefloor, where you can't really talk. Help Mumbai get laid :^D

If you don't want to talk to these people and don't like the music, then why go at all? If all you're after is some late drinkin', why not do it at home where you can invite someone you actually want to talk to?
Jeez...

That's the point.
I don't go to clubs for any other reason than it's somewhere to drink late, and I certainly don't go with the intention of trying to bag somebody.
I can't stand the music, 17yr olds in Ben Sherman shirts gyrating like they're being peppered with machinegun fire irritate me and greasy-cheeked heiffers in crop-tops and low-waist jeans showing 4 inches of flabby pouch doesn't do it for me either.
I know standing around makes it hard to talk, that's why I do it.
You'd think a guy looking bored and refusing to dance would send out "please leave me alone" signals, but still sometimes it doesn't get understood.
Which is when the faux sign-language begins and they get embarrassed and can't leave quick enough when they think they're chatting up a deaf bloke.

I find girls tend to lean more towards the binary approach, it has that "turn on and off" appeal.

Not been out since, not to a club anyway (played pool friday, worked saturday).
But I did mash my face into the grill. I think the burn pattern makes me look sexy.

Hmm, another approach to try.
To be honest, I'm still not much better equipped to pull when a random opportunity occurs on the dancefloor, and I like to dance anyway - standing around gets boring and you usually can't talk. And if I'm there, some opportunities you don't want to miss.
However, I'll be sure to give loathing a try :^)
I guess the fear of rejection thing is a fair point, a few successes make the knock-backs easier to take, but it's been a while. Nevertheless, I'll pull myself together and get over it.
Lawrence, I relutantly agree that relationship sex is generally better. But if you're not in a relationship, casual sex can be good too.
Bah, how can I dance at people now, without feeling like a lynx-alpha-monkey-wannabe-boy?
Heh, I suppose I'd be taking a slightly different perspective on it, hopefully not trying so hard and being less insecure. Or a different kind of insecure at least :^D
Hmm, I guess I have a slightly better feel for when talking to people, but still no further than 'dancing at people' when on the dancefloor.
Thinking about it, you're just looking for non-verbal ways of communicating.. something to someone, with the objective of.. I suppose getting them to dance with you is the first step, while coming off as attractive. Or at least not coming off as wierd/needy/creepy.
How about following eye contact with a gentle push in the shoulder/arm - playful and non-intrusive, followed by a becconing gesture to come dance(Neo in the Matrix, but without the full body over-the-top action. Hmm, or maybe with it :^) ).
I'm aiming for not retarded, and less lame than 'dancing in front of someone'. Any good?
