How to make friends in a nightclub?

Question

I'm g*y, from the uk and 31 years old, but most people think I'm in my early 20's.

What I would like to know is how do I make friends in a nightclub? I've always enjoyed going to nightclubs, but I always go alone as I have no friends, and I leave on my own not having met anyone.

I don't know how to approach people to begin socialising. My family have always said to be myself (which I always am) and to just start talking to people, but how? I would like to have some male friends. Not because I want to have s*x with them or anything, but just because I have never had any male friends. I don't know what I'm supposed to do to start a conversation up or even what to talk about. I can say "alright" and smile a little and that's it.

Answer 1

I'm a girl with a lot of guy friends so I can kinda feel your pain. One approach that I used to use to make friends in general were to look for either the people that are either really outgoing or really shy. Someone who is super shy will appreciate having someone to talk to, and people that are really outgoing are easy to strike up a conversation with. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Buy drinks!

Answer 3

Grab someones butt. That's how guys usually try to meet me in the club.

Answer 4

Can you go to a place other than a nightclub?  Go to a local bar and sit up at the bar.  The regulars always sit there and have no problems bringing strangers into the conversations.  I use to work in a sports bar and people would strike up conversations all the time.  

Answer 5

Sit at the bar.  Every person in the club has to come to the bar some time.

Answer 6

I know you might not like my answer and i am sorry, but i have to tell you. =/... I don't think at all that a club is a good place to meet people, specially if you are on your own. Many times there are no seriousness there i guess, don't get me wrong i have friends who go to clubs, eventhough i think that is far from having fun, rather to get in trouble, but people make choices, so let's carry on, everyone will be accountable for what was done of our lives.

Maybe try  to make friends in other places, i don't like Starbucks, but that sounds better than a club you know. Let me ask what do you feel is more difficult, to make conversation with men or women? maybe that will shed some light into this matter and realized what is rightr, think through it!

Be blessed in Christ!=)

Hey everyone, the drinks are on me!!!  No seriously, nightclubs are not the best places to meet people whether you are straight or g*y.  There's usually very loud music and lots of people packed into a small space.  I would look at other venues to meet people and then you could go to the nightclub.  It's always good to have something to talk to people about as an ice breaker so if you are both involved in the same type of work or social setting you can use that.  You just need a few ice breakers to get the conversation going.  You'll find plenty if you do a search on Google.
