These things are sensitive for a guy. We see someone we like the 'look' of and would like to know if she is as nice as we would hope in terms of personality, but the initial impetus is almost always going to be physical.
To see a really nice girl on the dance floor is great, however opening that first conversation and keeping it going to find out if she is as 'real' as she looks...is a huge barrier.
Crashing and burning hurts!
There are some guys who have absolutely no feelings and will spend an evening being rejected and really not care. They are shallow and just move on to the next girl and try again. These are the ones you girls have radar to avoid, but unfortunately we all end up branded as one gender, so when a genuine guy walks up...your first, and sometimes second impression, is 'jerk'.
The question of doing this on a dance floor is even more sensitive as looking or appearing to be a jerk is possibly better than trying to dance and actually proving the point!!! So we can't win!
The places where it is quiet enough to actually sit and have a chat and show how nice we are are not the places girls tend to go, unless they are attached and want to spend time chatting with their special other. Catch 22!
Still confused!

From my side, I have a similar question... OKay, "Ladies 1st". But to take the initiative & to show herself attracted & interested is extremely difficult for a shy girl... & can be even misinterpreted... so how to do that? Look at him twice? Loool
It's funny, but a guy can tell when a girl is interested, far more easily than a girl being able to tell if a guy is nice or just lusting after her. Girls say it with their eyes. A quick glance and look away is a sign that you are not interested, however if a girl looks you in the eye and holds that contact, then it becomes a strong indication that she would like to know more about us.
If a girl makes the first approach, then the guy...if he is a true gentleman of course...would almost always be flattered by the fact and be far more open and honest more quickly. You would very quickly be able to decide if he was a genuine person or not. If you find out that he is not, then crashing and burning is probably what he deserves.
