girl help: How should a guy behave when hes at a rock concert with a girl? - Help.com

How should a guy behave when hes at a rock concert with a girl?

Ok , dont get me wrong i’m not gonna be headbangin in the middle of a mosh pit like i usually would be, but what are the proper “guidelines”. Do you stand beside her, behind her? How far up to the stage do you go?

How do u get a balance between jumpin around and havin a good time or protecting her from idiots tryin to crash into her?

what concert are you going to? ive been in this EXACT dilemna three times… i think it depends on the music… how well does she like the music? if shes really into it may be okay to go off on your own a little bit and spends some time in the pit

heres i what i would do: make it clear to here beforehand that you want to spend some time in the pit. stay with here for all the opening bands, then do your own thing for the first 3/4 of the headliners set. make sure you leave time to find her at the end

Seriously? At a linkin park concert i wouldnt worry too much about a hardcore pit being there… but do you know if it is inside or outside?

this is true. i would definately stay with here most of the evening. i’d worry about her being in the pit, but some girls (like yours truely) dig the pit after awhile. If she has glasses, make sure she doesnt wear them. That could be bad. Make sure she doesnt wear a skirt, no matter how short and hot it may be. Closed toed shoes are good, So are shirts that dont show off too much boobage. People tend to get grabby after they are drunk. Most of all though… Make sure you two hold hands during Shadow of the Day & In the end. She’ll like that. :)

i would stay with her…because thats what i would expect from my boyfriend. Not that we can’t be close to the stage or anything like that, but to feel safe in a large, drunk mob like that i want my boyfriend around. if you do want to go somewhere she doesn’t i would ask her about her comfort level first.

Lol, thanks for the info, thats good advice. Definitely a good idea at the end there! That happens to guys but to you know? I have felt random hands from behind grope me in the middle of concerts! maybe i should start a post about that lol. Yeh sounds like a smart idea to stay with her the whole time.

Stay with her the whole time. That’s what I’d expect. Someone could grab her the second you walk away so the amount of time you’re gone is kinda irrelevant. Besides you’re in a corwded place with a lot of people.. it’s not like you’re going somewhere where she’d exactly be safe or easy to find if you 2 get seperated. Defintitely walk her to the bathroom if she needs to go and wait for her outside (unless you need to go also- then obviously go and meet back outside the bathroom), then walk back together. If you ask her if it’s okay w. her if you go to the pit- of course she’ll say yes. You two are nothing official so she’s not going to be honest if the answer is no. You should stay w. her because you want to and not ask as she’ll probably say yes just out of obligation or because she doesnt want to turn you off- if she says no to something you want to do so early in the relationship she’ll seem overly clingy & whatnot. If you guys get serious trust me she’ll tell you straight up if she rather you stay. Standing behind her is cute like metal rock said & you woudl eb creating a pocket for her- she’ll have more space in the crowd, it’s more intimate because you can have your arms around her, and the fact that you want to protect her from the world is charming. Personally I think the closer to the stage the better- but not everyone thinks like that. Just ask her if she rather hang back or venture out into the madness (which would be an adventure in itself). Good Luck & have fun =]

As a girl who’s been to a billion and one gigs, I’d say do what the hell you like. If you want to hit the pit, tell her and go. Chances are she might want to as well, don’t assume it’s solely a male-dominated arena. Also, during Linkin Park I can’t see the 14 year-olds “moshing” being an issue…
As long as you pick a spot to meet up in if you get separated I can’t see any problems. I usually like to be close to the stage, and it’s difficult to always stay together with the crowd pushing you around.
I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more annoying than being punched/elbowed in the tit (it’s happened a lot) by the guy “protecting” his girl in the pit. I get pushed into them, and the his testosterone reacts faster than his brain. If she can’t look after herself, she shouldn’t be in there, and if you want to be huggy and touchy, go to the back, away from the people being pushed about the place.
Use your brain and don’t assume she’ll need protecting, it can be really annoying to be patronised in that way.
