Someone posted a thread in AskReddit asking how to pick up a girl at a club. Didn't get much attention, but I (female, 21) wrote up this simple step-by-step guide of what works on me and many of my female friends. Thought you might appreciate it.

American guys seem to always go for the grinding, which I hate, at least this is what I've noticed from my first year in the States. Back home in Germany right now, I've been trying to figure out how guys pick up girls here, because I just find it so much more pleasant. This seems to be the common way to do it. Really wish it was more common in the States.

  1. Choose target.

  2. Start dancing near here, where she can see you.

  3. Try to make eye contact. Smile if eye contact is achieved. If she smiles back, come a little closer.

  4. If she doesn't move away or show discomfort, reach out your hand.

  5. If she takes your hand pull her a little closer. Not so close that you're forced to rub your crotches against each other. Just close enough so that it is established that you 2 are dancing together. Edit: If you are confused about how the hell you're supposed to dance with a girl without rubbing your penis on her: Just be relaxed, fun and flirty. A little goofy maybe? Eye contact. Smile. Spin her around. If she absolutely wants to feel your package rubbing against her for whatever reason, she will initiate grinding.

  6. If she seems to be having a good time with you and doesn't try to get the fuck away ASAP, you've already won. Ask if she wants a drink/go outside for fresh air and have some nice conversation. Be a gentleman.

If you do this I'm sure any girl would highly appreciate the fact that you didn't just come up from behind and start danceraping her. You're bound to get at least a phone number from it. This has worked on me and other female friends many times.

If at any point during this process she shows discomfort just get the fuck away from her or you will forever be known as that creepy stalker dude at the club who kept staring at her.
