what to do ?! - 2006/07/08 03:39 Okay, this will sound a little strange and perhaps even retarded...
I had NEVER been to a rave before until I hit the Goa scene in India last year. Yes really, never, and it feels like I`ve climbed out of a hole. Since then I`ve been traveling around the world...
I love to dance, obviously, and be completely myself. I`ve had many people, even guys say they like my style, I know it`s very different... Such freedom of expression means I tend to dance very wildly, expressively and I jump around, just having fun and not caring what I look like (isn`t that the point?).
Here`s what happens: a beautiful girl, I mean sometimes the most perfect-looking woman I`ve ever seen, comes out of nowhere and just positions herself right in front of me. I mean, close! Oh wow, it would be `just a nice view` if she didn`t keep glancing back at me, sometimes playing with her hair and turning back to look at me, or sometimes slowly moving to back right into me, if I didn`t get out of the way. I`m a guy, obviously, and this is sometimes just TOOOOO much. Then we seem to take turns watching each other move to the music... it`s so sexual, Oh man, I get so turned on. I know I`m not imagining things, I like to smoke weed/hash but don`t usually drop pills...can I EVER pick this woman up? Seriously. Yes I`ve tried, enough times (and just to talk or whatever) and I always get a surprised look, sometimes a look of disappointment, it`s so weird. (I told you my question was going to sound retarded...) Honestly, it`s like the perfect fantasy for me meeting someone and it always crumbles. What on earth am I doing wrong???
Perhaps I am a bit too expressive when I dance? I always know if there`s real attraction for me, I`m sure of it but I always f*ck it up...
And as an aside, I have started to like MDMA now too, I`ve tried it only once so far, but if I do at the next rave I fear I may be even more expressive still... and then perhaps make a fool of myself? Sheesh. Never did I expect to be posting a question about this here, sometimes I am so clueless! I feel like I`m 14 again, sorry guys...I`ve dated many many women, sure, but this rave scene feels like a completely different world to me...

Re:what to do ?! - 2006/07/08 11:42 While "picking up women" sometimes happens at raves, it`s not intended to be a place to do that. Everyone has a different perception of what a rave should be, but to me they`re more about the primal sensuality of being a human on earth than anything explicitly sexual. Sure, I`m surrounding by beautiful people, both men and women, the whole time I`m dancing--and I admire the crowd. But it`s an admiration abstracted from any physicality.
Indeed, when someone tries to dance with me, my empathy crumbles and I end up staring rather blankly at them, unable to dance. I try to apologize, but they end up thinking that I am offended or something. It`s just that, even though I "enjoy the scenery" when I`m dancing, that`s all it is: scenery. My desire to grind up against some girl when I`m getting my groove on is roughly parallel with my desire to run up to a mighty sequoia tree in a state park and dry-hump it. Same thing, really.
That said, I`m afraid I can`t really lend you much in the way of advice. My only words of wisdom for this situation is to let yourself want less. People at raves are often like rainbows: They`re bright and wonderful and you could spend hours chasing them around, but in the end they all disappear. As soon as you realize this and just sit back and enjoy the sky lit up with color, you`ll see them not as things that keep escaping your grasp but as miraculous phenomena to be appreciated whenever you`re lucky enough to come in contact with them.
The slightly less philosophical advice would be to make friends with them first and worry about "picking them up" a little later on.
As for your comment that you feel like you`re 14 again and that raves seem like a completely different world to you. Well, that`s the point, isn`t it?
