I'm hoping to throw more in here as I have more than just this post but I've been crazy busy lately so it may take a while.

That being said, this story actually happened a little while ago, but I had the foresight to write down most of the details immediately after it happened on a notebook near my bed.

I was at a local bar I frequent, and by frequent, I mean that I'm on a first name basis with all the bouncers and have accumulated most of the bartenders' numbers (All 8's and 9's), and as usual for that day of the week it was packed. The line for a drink was about 10 deep and despite the bartenders motioning for me to skip ahead, I was a little stuck and couldn't really go anywhere. Immediately after I shrug to the bartender this platinum blonde (an appears from the side, grabs my hair and starts twirling it in her fingers. She came off as really energetic and bubbly and told me that she wanted to buy me a drink. I thanked her for the offer (I also realize now that I did the AFC move of leaning in to speak instead of raising my voice), and told her that it would take her too long to get the drink, and that since I wouldn't likely still be in the area when she got back (DHV or false time constraint?). My friend laughed at the situation, and 10 minutes later she found me on the other side of a bar and exclaimed "Didn't take all that long" hands me a drink and walks away. My friend and I chat up a few girls, and shoot the shit with the cocktail waitresses (again, 8's and 9's) (preselection), and make our way back to the bar sometime later. The girl walks in front of me, makes strong eye contact and sits down on a bench next to where I'm standing. At this point I was fairly intoxicated but I remember the conversation going something like this:
Me: "Hey, you're sitting by yourself. is it because you're not cool enough to have friends "
She laughed and we discussed how she had probably just roofied me. I did a little bit of kino escalation during our chat like pushing her away playfully and scooting down the bench to push/pull, she gave me her number and I got up and met back up with my friend. Not too much longer after that I was chatting up one of the cocktail waitresses and realize that this girl is now grabbing my ass. We chatted a bit more and she invited me home but unfortunately at this point, I realize she's way too drunk to take home and take a rain check. Find out two days later after inviting her for coffee that she has a boyfriend so I replied that I was going to get coffee and just wanted someone cool to chill with while I sat there. She has since broken up with her boyfriend and we went out about a week ago and ended up going back to a place she was house sitting with a few friends. Her other friend was being kind of sketchy and I got the impression that me being there made him uncomfortable. It got worse when she started to cuddle up and I rubbed the back of her head (kino escalation). Eventually he left, she got up to lock the door, and immediately came over and we started making out (unfortunately, she's not the best kisser). Things got a little steamy but we had to stop because she couldn't find condoms in the apartment, and my jacket (where my condoms were) was ganked at the bar. She claimed that she was excited that we would get to do this all summer, and also told me that I couldn't tell my friends about it (we have mutual friends), however I think I could've left her more excited for the next time by being the first one to suggest we stop.

Certainly not the best FR but I hope to add more that are more useful to the community when I can get some spare time.

Invited this girl (8) to join me at the beach and she told me that she was with her friends and wouldn't be able to make it so I replied that it was 'No biggie'. As my friend and I were leaving (my friend is pretty good looking and an awesome wingwoman) the girl shows up with her friend and tells me that I can't leave because they're just getting there. I tell her my friend has to get to work and that maybe I'll run into her later. About an hour later she texts me to ask if I'm coming back to which I replied 'Maybe'. I end up back at the beach about an hour after that and we start shooting the shit while her friend is passed out. I can tell she's interested because she's doing some mirroring and keeps filling in the silence when I stop talking. We talked about random crap and I threw in a DHV story about my (ex) girlfriend. This really got her attention and her voice got much louder "Wait! you have a girlfriend?". I smiled, winked, and said, 'Well, not today'. We ended up going swimming. Did the playful thing splashing her and tossing her into the deeper part and while we were in the shallows she swam up, wrapped her arms and legs around me and started kissing me. To be honest, I didn't think I was running that much game and it was pretty unexpected. We hung out for a while after getting out of the water and I had to drive her and her friend home because their ride left. She started kissing me again when they got dropped off and I invited them to come for BBQ later that night. She showed up with a bottle of tequila, we made margaritas, did the BBQ thing and started playing pong. I find that pong is usually a pretty good way to kino escalate. High fives to the girl and after the first one or two I'll drop the elevation of my hand and see how long they hold on to it after. If that's right go to the side hug etc. Was doing this pretty effectively and she stepped up the kino to the kind of hug where they press their hips into yours, kisses, and a hand on my ass. We got a bit playful and were probably irritating my friends, but it's my house so screw em haha. After pong I brought her upstairs and we made out in my room quite a bit. Picked her up, put her on the bed and told her to roll over and take off her shirt. Gave her a massage and that turned into much heavier making out. She originally didn't want anything to happen, but then ended up getting a bit more aggressive and we fooled around then boned. Good news is that she says she's coming up to visit again as soon as I get back from my friend's bachelor party.

Again, not sure how much game I actually used or if she was just into me for my looks or something else I've been doing since we've met (known her for months) but figured I would share the stuff that I know I did.

Now I'm going out to game some bartenders and college students for super cheap beer night! Hopefully updates soon.

Went out last night with a bud of mine, sat down at a table and partook in cheap beer night. Originally wasn't really planning on gaming anyone because I had a pretty awful day but it ended up happening.

One of my old employees, a very attractive and bubbly (also underage) redhead was there and she has quite a few good looking friends so I decided to chat her and her friends up a bit. Most of them are pretty cool but she has one friend who has a pretty nice body but not the greatest face, physically, I'd say she's a 7 but it turns out she's kind of a bitch. The other friend she is with is pretty, but not the best body in my opinion. I'd give her a 6.5 overall. I chatted my friend and the 6.5 up for a while and joked about how I couldn't remember their names because I meet so many women and gave them both nicknames. That was a running joke for a while and it seemed to work fairly well with building more comfort than I already have with the group (I've hung out with them a few times in similar settings and the red head has been to a few of my house parties). The not so friendly friend (I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she is poorly socially calibrated or was just having a shitty day) opened me a few times asking "So I hear you work at (my place of employment)" and I responded with "Well it's not really work if you enjoy it right?" with a smile and she made a disgusting face so I told her told her I was done with the conversation and was going to talk to the cool people now. She wandered off and I resumed the conversation with the other two girls.

Somewhere during this part of the conversation I ran into a girl I just met at the bar (happens to be a bartender at my Wednesday night hangout), we hugged and I told her to sit down and play quarters with us which she did. I have this personal thing for trying to go all the way with a good looking bartender so I tried to see how much I could kino escalate this girl. She's kind of short, no idea what her natural hair color is, and she's cute. I'll throw her at a 7 also. She seemed to be really shy and withdrawn so I negged her about checking her facebook and messages when there wasn't anybody actually messaging her. She would open up briefly after every time I brought her back to the conversation and then withdraw again and stare at the table or whatever. At some point one of my buds brought up how much of a ladies man I am (Thanks for the assist bro), and her response was something along the lines of "It isn't going to work on me, we're just going to be friends". I've heard this before a few times, and to be honest, I have zero problem being just friends with a cute bartender because it actually helps me out anyway. I laughed at her comment and said 'Yeah, you tell yourself that'. We discussed being 'just friends' and I told her 'You'll come around eventually, but until then, you're my new wingman'. She actually seemed into winging for me and that became our new topic of discussion. She left early and I ended up leaving with the redhead and her friends plus three other girls that I hadn't met yet. Found out that her tattooed friend (an who wasn't there that night was pretty into me so I continued to build rapport with the rest of the group while I walked them home (my place is on the way). Another of her friends I'll put at an 8 lived around the block and asked me to walk her home as well. I told her that if I was going to walk her home then it had to be done the right way and offered her my arm which she took. Pretty sure we were holding hands by the time we got to her place, she opened the door and her damn cat ran out. Caught it, put it inside and of course, had to repeat two more times until I pulled the door shut after I put it in. We chatted for a few minutes on her porch and I'm pretty confident she wanted me to go for the Kclose but I was tired, not really super interested (I don't know why) and just wanted to go home so I told her to watch herself when she goes in because 'the owner's cat likes to escape' and went home.

All in all, for a night in which I had no intentions of gaming I feel like it was a moderate success. I didn't approach anyone I didn't know, but I feel like I used acquaintances fairly effectively, got a number from the red head so the group could hang out in the future, found out her attractive friend was in to me, and could've Kclosed one of the other girls in the group. Additionally I got 'friend zoned' but have a new wing. I feel like I could've gamed the bartender much more effectively but it would've taken more work than I was willing to put in at the time and hindsight being what it is, should have made an attempt at getting the Kclose or at least a number. Next time. As for this weekend, hometown for the night to see what new prospects are there and then it's bachelor party time on Saturday!

Haven't updated in a while, figured I'd post about the bachelor party and the days since.

Day 1: Bachelor party
Epic Fail
Was pretty pumped for a chance to go out and cold approach as many HBs as possible with little to no negative repercussions on my social life at home. I was actually only worried about my one friend who likes to shoot me down as much as possible in order to make himself feel better. I actually know he does this because he's admitted he's jealous girls pay more attention to me when we go places. He ended up getting detached from the group very quickly and it was just myself, the bachelor, and his two friends I didn't know. Unfortunately, his one friend who was supposed to be some genius at picking up girls was with us. This supposed guru was awful. I will give the guy credit where credit is due, he had zero approach anxiety. He probably approached 90% of the girls we saw that night using some variation of 'it's my friend's bachelor party, go give him a hug' line. The bachelor got a lot of hugs but this guy was awful at getting them to stick around afterwards. He was actually hurting my game by basically chasing them off after opening. I started talking to the girls when groups of them would up and had a few kino escalate me but their friends pulled them away fairly quickly because this guy's game was basically nonexistant. It actually got to the point where I stopped caring and decided to just do what I'm supposed to do at a bachelor party and get drunk. Failed at that too.

Lesson learned: Approach as soon as you see the set. Already knew this, but not as easily done in practice as on paper.
