Post by ManOwaRrior »

My band's playing out alot, & there's a few girls I've met online who will probably show up.. Should I approach them, or let them come to me?.. after all they might just wanna see the band, yet some have hinted at other things..

In my experience you dont want to act like too much a cocksure bastard, even if you are, be nice, get to know em a bit, get em to come see you again and then take it from there.

Be a gentleman sir.

I agree with all of the above. If you figure out that these girls are wack jobs, you just don't feel any attraction toward them in person, or they have no personality, at least give em some background on the band, when you're playing next, and be on your way. At least in the worst case scenario, you can turn it into an opportunity to plug your own band.

Just go up to them and say "Thanks for coming out!" and go from there. If they're there for the music, they'll keep it at that.

You should say hello to them and thank them for being at the show. If you get a good vibe then keep talking to them about whatever. Let nature take it's course.

If the fan is hot, I'll prob be more accommodating xD


Just be chill, no reason to treat someone with more or less thrill since they actually watched your shit band, just chill and enjoy the show unless they're asking a lot of questions about your gear then get rid of them.
