A week ago I had a house full of people, just friends and people wanting computers fixed etc...when an old school friend walks up my path. I haven't seen her in years and had a huge crush on her at school. Anyway, we get talking and I tell her that I'm in training as a PUA, and after firmly putting her in the friend zone, I ask her if she wants to be my wing. I explain what's required (to my knowlege) and she agrees.
We go out that night to see a band - if nothing else, at least we get to see a band.
At some point I come back from the bar into a quieter bar and see this hot 22 year old HB9. She's sitting on her own and is not smiling. I bend down in front of her and pretend to pick something up and hand it to her, she looks at my hand and sees nothing. I tell her it's her smile and she must have dropped it. She smiles and says thank you. I smile back and walk out to eh smoking area where my female wing it.

We go back inside and decide to sit in the quiet area for a bit. All night I've DHVed as I used to be in a band with some of the current band members, and I seemingly know everyone in the place.
We sit down and chat for a few minutes, I look over at the HB9 who is still sitting on her own and tell her - not ask - to sit at our table. She politely shakes her head, so I persist just once and she agrees. Sadly she's now at our table and the furthest away. She tells me her name and tells me that she's waiting for her friend to finish work and join her. Shortly after some fluff talk, her friend (F) and AMOG walk in and sit with us. I instantly befriend the AMOG - he's about 17 years younger than me and clearly works out. We actually get along quite well. Her friend is ribbing me as I pretend not to realise that these are the friends the HB9 is waiting for. I more-or-less give all the attention to her friends and not her.

I stirred up a conversation between them, and then discretely turn to the HB9 and slide my phone over the table and say "put you're number in there, we're gonna move on soon."...of course, she struggles with my phone and of course then the poor girl becomes the centre of attention.

I text her a day later asking about a concert she went to the day after, and we text back and forth - me sending C&F texts. She just doesn't seem to get the joke - and these are not clever jokes - things like she said "I've got **** festival tickets, yay!", so I say "Excellent, who's driving you or me?" etc...

In the end I got bored. However, this has given me the mindset of selector. I can walk into a place and get a number from a hot girl nearly half my age, and I find I'm really not into her. Sure, I could probably have carried this on for a while and got her into bed eventually, but I actually do prefer to actually like the girl I'm sleeping with!

I'm newly back into the game after 6 years in a LTR, so little wins like this are my stepping stones.
