There's a guy in my football team who has a housemate who's a HB7 I like. She knows who I am, but this was from my complete-AFC days. I suspect she might have already known I was kinda interested, as my friend told her that someone in the team fancies her (I actually told him to ask if she'd wanna go out!).
Sat night it was her birthday shindig in a club and my friend said I should go along. When me and another friend got in, they were all on the dancefloor. We joined in and I managed to get a few words in her ear, like saying happy birthday and all. But I found it really hard to get any real communication going, with the loud music and her other friends etc. Towards the end of the night, I just thought I had to something, so I managed to position myself next to her and said she should go out for a drink with me another time.
Her response?
"Erm, ask me when I'm sober."

Should I bother?
I might be crazy, but I'm not entirely stupid and I guess this is probably a "no", so why didn't she just say that?

Of course, ideally I would've built more attraction and comfort beforehand, but the environment doesn't lend itself to that.
The dancefloor being a trap... maybe Mystery is right.

Mystery is WRONG!

LoL.

Actually I don't even know what it is he said but I stand by my claims.

Dancefloor is just another type of Game. It takes practice. My own experience with it is limited and it's a skill I am developing, but I've SEEN it done before, and I've read field reports by PUAs I know personally, and how they've pulled it off. Here's the one piece of knowledge you need:

CONFIDENCE.

Honestly you could get out there and do the fucking polka. So long as you're confident, it doesn't matter. Women relate dancing to sex (or so they say). Kino is important. Confidence is important. And being proactive is important. If you go up to a girl and start grinding her from behind - aint gonna do nothing for you. If you shyly ask a girl to dance - aint gonna do nothin' for ya. Grab the girl by the hand, spin her around, and pull her in. Then do whatever the fuck you gotta do.

What would be the one thing stopping you from doing that?

Yep - confidence.

If you're not confident or are self-conscious about your dance skills - take lessons. You don't really need to be able to dance well, but they help more your self-esteem than anything else.

As for this chic - lol, yeah you did nothing to "pump the buying temperature" as they say. You tried to make a sale when she wasn't ready to buy. Should've done some kino or some other shit, or chatted up her friends and ignored her to try and get her attention. Whatever works for you man.

They say that to get the ONE girl, you must learn to get ALL the girls. See where that takes you.
