I love going to concerts, its a little escape for me.
I recently went to a crystal method concert (^.^) and was having a great time, and this girl in front of me kept looking back at me, so I started getting the idea that maybe she wanted me to dance with her. So I gradually worked my way into it and ended up having an awesome time, and her friends looked over and told me how cool she was and that she was interested and stuff. Unfortunately at the end of the show, she slipped away into the crowd before i could get over worrying about stumbling over asking for her number.
I guess what I'm wondering is if it's normal to be looking for a date or something along those lines at shows like this. It seems to be a really easy way for me to flirt with girls without having to talk to them, but at the same time I feel like no one is looking for a date, they're just there for a good time.
Is it outlandish for me to think that I can find a relationship by meeting girls this way?

Worst case is he gets rejected, but it would be less awkward at a concert as there's so many people to blend into.

Yea i've been rejected at another concert, it isnt NEAR as embarrassing so I suppose thats another plus. I was just having a hard time making up my mind over whether it was normal to be asking for numbers and such or if thats kinda odd because of the 'having a good time' atmosphere. does that make any sense?

I wish I could make acquaintances that way, but it never really happened.

I don't really think it's any different to asking for a number at a party.

It's a lot more normal than asking for one at the supermarket.

Have you tried going to an electronic music concert? In the experiences I've had everyone is always really friendly and tend to do most of the socializing for you. For example, I get endless amounts of high fives. Lol.

When I think about it, I only went to a dance-oriented event once in my life. It sounds like good advice, maybe because it's something I haven't tried before!

No, it's good. If you have the means, you should get yourself some cards (like business cards). Name + contact info. It's not pushy, no awkward conversation, and you don't have to yell over the music!

I don't know if it would be the best idea, crowds aren't exactly the best place if you have social anxiety and getting into a deep conversation wouldn't be ideal with loud music playing.

I don't think the business card idea is the best either, saying that I have never been to a concert before so I wouldn't know.
