Not too skinnny, but far from fat, she had a few guys after her and this was a regular spot. She loved to dance.
She wasn't sure exactly, what made this guy stand out, but she wanted to find out. She caught his eye, grinned, then dropped hers. The invitation was made.

As always he took note of every patron who entered from behind his dark smoked sunglasses. Nothing too remarkable about this one besides that he was new here. Glancing around the club with the beginnings of frustration, he ran a hand through his slicked back black hair and checked his watch. where was the client he was late and that made him nervous.
leaning back he sipped a bit of his wine to calm his nerves, and looked out over the dance floor in an attempt to take his mind off the nervousness.

TheBronzeBow wrote:Jan entered the Golden Goose. Usually her friends went there, but tonight, she was looking for a man. Jan, a tall and thin women, with black hair and green eyes was date-less. And her friends told her this was a great club to look for possible dates, young men usually came here a lot. With this in mind, she strided in the club, in a black dress.
Batting her eyes at all the young teens who looked at her, she strode to a empty booth. Settling down her purse, she scanned the scene. Leather seats, blinding red disco lights, groups of whiney, teenager girls, and blaring music. The surroundings was a typical, young adult gathering arena. Thankfully for Jan, the men were at least twenty years, for Jan was twenty-five years old.
Jan sighed, and flicked off the hair that obscured her vision. She narrowed her eyes in search of someone older than twenty, that looked mature. She spotted a guy near the bar, ordering a drink. Handsome enough, she thought. Grabbing her poofy, beige purse, she strutted up to the bar counter. Playing it cool, she swiped a seat next to the guy, and ordered a drink.
"Hi cutie."

Well this would be a fine transitional post, that is, a post written after the initial one. It simply needs more content. An opening post should be at the very minimum three paragraphs. One could get away with two paragraphs if he or she were a literary gangster dealing in prose like a suicidal Russian novelist.
When you said you were with your friends, go off on a tangent; let the reader know why they are your friends, or why you are there with them. Nothing like an intricate bio or anything, but a nice little description of what they are wearing, drinking, etc…anything that would be interesting.
Noticing the character, you stated that he was new to the club. How did you know this? Expand on that, maybe his mannerisms or perhaps your character has a brand of telepathy, so just the simple act of a person walking in is like a sign to you. Develop that comment.
“Tossing her jet black hair out of her face, the lights danced across the red streaks like fire.” This sentence could be clearer, red streaks on what. The table? The glasses? Obviously you mean the hair is highlighted, however the flow of the RP relies heavily on the prose written so make said prose as crisp as possible.
Rewrite it, adding content and clearer sentence structure and post again.

Jan entered the club. Her acquaintances had told her about the place in their frequent get-togethers. They had said that it was the perfect place to find a man to date. She just needed to look hard enough to find someone. Unfortunately, Jan's previous attempts of dating were usually disastrous, thus why she was still twenty-five, and single for most of the year. Having this kept in mind, she tried to dress for best, in a short, sleeveless, black dress, with bright red lipstick, and matching red sandals. She strided into the club.
After gaining entrance to the club, she started batting her thick mascara-d eyelashes at all the young teens who looked her way. She strode to a small and empty booth. Sitting down, and settling down her poofy, beige, purse, she started to scan the scene. There were smooth, leather seats all around-with groups of whiney teenager girls sitting in them-, on the dance floor people danced to blaring techno music, and blinding red disco lights. The surroundings fit the description for a typical, young adult gathering arena. However, the club reeked of boring, she did not know why her friends had suggested this place.
Jan sighed, and flicked off some bang hair that obscured her vision. She narrowed her eyes in a rapid eye-dance search of someone older than twenty, that looked mildly mature. She suddenly spotted a German guy near the bar, ordering a Beck. Handsome enough, she thought. She snatched her purse, opening it to reapply her lip stick. Finished, she strutted up to the bar counter. Playing it cool, she swiped a seat next to the guy, and ordered a small red wine.

The strobe lights on the dance floor pulsed. A think layer of smoke could be seen above all the heads. Four girls sat in their usual booth in the far left corner of the club. They were students from the town University, and came every Friday to have a drink and unwind. One drink was all any of them ever had. It couldn't be a more diverse group of friends. There was a preppy looking (though in fact she was very nice) blonde named Stella, a sterotypical Goth girl (though there was more than meets the eye to this one) named Katrina, a normal looking but yet still pretty girl named Danielle and a slightly chubby brunette named Heather. They were sitting and laughing, having a good time.
Katrina tossed her jet black hair out of her face. The bright red highlights sparkled in the lights. She was dressed in a pair of black bondage pants from Hot Topic and My Chemical Romance shirt. A pair of worn black chucks adorned her feet. There wasn't anything really special about her, but everyone said she had a wonderful laugh. She was drinking her usual peach daqari. Taking a sip, she looked up just as a man came walking in. He looked foreign to her. And he seemed a little stiff, a little uncomfortable. She could tell he was probably new here. When he glanced around the room, they met eyes. She gave him a slight nod of her head in acknoledgement, and went back to talking with her friends.
"...Rect'im?! Damn near killed'em!" She had just caught the tell end of Stella's joke and while the other's were laughing, she was trying to figure out what was going on. "Katrina! Tonight's our night remember? No thinking about Justin. He's a bastard, you don't need him. Come on, let's go dance!" Danielle pulled her out of her seat and onto the dance floor. The group of girls laughed and started dancing.
