Here we are visiting the Lifestyles convention in Vegas. We've been through two days of events. We are doing some volunteer stuff for a local swing club so we had to speak to people to hand out flyers about our party schedule.
We have been in ourclubs party suite each night and even been to the pool parties. We say Hi to people and struggle to find people that actually say Hello back. Sometimes we give a greeting comment and smile and get eyes rolled, as if to say "They actually think we could be interested" if we ever get eye contact at all. (No we arent staring them down) We carry on conversations with people and it appears moments later they seem to have forgotten we ever spoke. We've dropped catcy one liners in the pool when we get bumped into to try and stir conversation (to no avail) We perform openly in the club suite right in front of others who are playing and even make comments to show our interest and we're stuck playing alone.
I'm sure we could be more out going and be more agressive about finding people, but that would mean more work then we are already doing. We're not sure its worth this much work. Sure we have played with people only when it stumbles across us at the club, 90% of the time its a couple from out of town so we see them that one time and thats it. So we're put back into the look cycle.
So our question to everyone is whats your M.O. for meeting people in a club atmosphere. The internet thing hasnt worked at all for us, so we're stuck working in the club enviornment. Do you prefer to walk up and speak to people, or while engaged in some activity give them a sign you are interested in them joining. We've been working both and not getting much result.
