Any clubbing tips for a newbie?

[Andrew]

I went clubbing for the first time recently, and it was half awesome, half disastrous. I went with a bunch of my guy friends, pretty hammered, but sobered up an hour into it. Anyway, my friend managed to grind with this one girl, and her other friend was left hanging, so I "scooped" her up so to speak, and grinded with her for about 5 minutes before she left me hanging.

Then I met up with another friend who was even more drunk with me, dancing with this chick, and he's like "dance with me", so I was dancing her facing me for a bit. Afterwards, I just walked around, met up with those guy friends and talked to some girls, but that is pretty near impossible given the volume of the music.

Then meeting up with that drunk friend of mine again, he pointed at me to grind this one girl, and I was dancing with her for about 5 minutes before her friend just pushed me away from her. WTF? I just backed off.

The rest of the night consisted me of walking around, meeting up with the friends again who were scattered about, and going outside for air. I didn't want to be a wallflower, looking like a loser.

How can I be like those guys hooking up with hot girls in the booths nearby? I find it sketchy to just go up to girls and grind with them especially without talking to them. You can't talk to them because of the volume of the music. And I don't know if there's a technique to grinding either.

I'm planning on going with one guy friend this time and 2 girls. Help me out guys. I have the look down I think: nice jeans, nice sneakers, button up shirt, little bit of gel, cologne, etc. but I don't have the suave .
