Hey everyone, here I go with my 2nd field report.

This was in the same club as last week, because me and my wing saw a few friends who happened to be going there that night and we decided it was a good a place as any.

Two things had changed from the offset:
1. I went into this feeling more confident
2. I had peacocked a bit by wearing a ShiteShirt. (Thats a ludicrously designed shirt from a website with the same name)

The girls from tonight will be referred to as:
Girl1 = HB8
Girl2 = HB5
Girl3 = HB7
Girl4 = HB7

So, we arrived at the club and went for a walk around, whenever I spotted people I knew I would always go over and say hello to them, just to get me into the swing of things and help develop social proof. I also spent a bit of time talking to one of the bartenders, my shirt made for some awesome conversation openers, because I could ask everyone "Which bit of my shirt do you like/hate the most?" and then give them a twirl.

Getting friendly with the bartender turned out to be quite useful later, as whenever I went for a drink he would serve me over all the other people queuing up, which made me look cool.

So me and my wing tried a few openers with varying amounts of success to begin with, when we decided to try it with Girl1 and her friend. The opener I used (I don't know if this one already exists or not, if so credit to whomever thought it up) was "Excuses me girls I'll only be a minute, [laughing as I beckon my wing over], me and my mate were having an argument, we each have an icebreaker we think is good and I think mine is better than his and he obviously disagrees. So I was wondering if you could hear them both and tell us which is best".
My line is "How Much do Polar Bears weigh? Enough to break the ice"
His is "Do you have any paracetamol? Because these swans are sick!" [whilst making swan shapes with his arms to make his muscles look big]
Sadly, before they could respond, someone we knew came over and interrupted the set to say hello to us, and dragged us over to there friends.

Later in the night, I saw them again and Girl1 made EC, so I walked over and asked "Did you have time to think about our jokes?". She told me that she and her friend were from [Foreign Country], and that they didn't understand British humour. Again though, before I could take it any further and build rapport I was interrupted by a different set of friends (all girls) whom I'd met last week on a bus. We had a good laugh and stuff and at least it was providing me with social proof. But the 2 girls walked away.

I went to the bit of the club where you could sit down and talk and decided to have a go at entering a group of just guys to see if I could get them to like me (as if there were girls in the group too, because gotta win the guys over first right?"). It turns out after having a good conversation that one of the guys had read The Game, and was trying to convince his friends that what I was doing was real, they didn't believe me and asked me to prove it. I was a bit bored of the conversation anyway, so took it as an opportunity to go and game a 2 set stood near the bar. As I walked over, one of the girls turned around and happened to be Girl1. That caught me off guard but she was happy to see me, and decided to introduce me to her group of friends, it was about a 12-set of girls and guys.

Turns out I actually knew one of the guys from the set, so we had a chat for a bit before I turned to Girl 2. By this point it seemed that there was definitely some value in Social Proof, because it didn't take me long or many routines to reach the hook point with her. She said we should go and dance to a song that had come on, so I went. We danced for a bit and came back (Good Kino'ing occured here, but maybe I should have been more reserved?).

When we rejoined the group I was sat between Girl 1 and Girl 2, and Girl 1 was constantly trying to grab my attention by touching me, now here is where I think I fucked up, because I tried to talk to both Girl1 and Girl2 one after the other at this point, and I think that was a bad idea because by this point I should probably have been isolating Girl1. Either way, some time later Girl2 wants to dance again (shit-test?) and I agreed.

After dancing for a while I tell her I really should get back to my friends, but if she wants to meet up later she should give me her number, she agrees.

I go and sit down alone for a bit to recover from dancing, and a random girl (Girl3) who was sat nearby comes over to have a chat with me (I can only assume the social proof again, by this point I had been seen talking and laughing with most of the people in the club that weren't on the dancefloor). We had a really interesting conversation about all sorts of stuff in which I tried to make her qualify to me, we then went downstairs to the bar and I did the 5-lies game with her, but if she lost she had to give me a kiss. She agreed, but she was good and didn't fall for it. She says she has to leave but that I should text her sometime and then asks for my phone.

Finally, I go and talk to my good friend who was in the 12-set, As I stood talking to him, there was another guy there, and Girl4. We exchanged glaces occasionally because my friend is also a scientist and was going on and on about something sciencey which the rest of the world doesn't care about. I leaned over and said to her "I come to places like this to get away from my work, not to talk about it more", she laughs and tells me to follow her, whilst grabbing me by the hand. We go to the dancefloor and within 10 minutes we are kissing. The club then closes, she gives me her number then I leave.

In hindsight, I lost track of my original target (Girl1) because I tried to play too many people at once, and I think I made another big mistake in that I didn't develop to much rapport with anyone, because whenever a conversation went stale, I would say I was going to go find my friends and walked away (to continue the conversation later) I think this was a bad idea because of the phone conversations to follow:

Next day I had a BBQ at my place, I invited Girl2 & Girl3 to join me. Girl2 flaked and didn't respond. Girl3 didn't respond, but she did today, the flow of the conversation went like this:

Me: Hey XXX its XXX, was lovely to meet you last night. I am having a bbq later with a few friends if you fancy stopping by?
Girl3: Hey XXX! Sorry I only just switched my phone on, I'd lost my charger in a pile stuff brought back from uni lol. How was the bbq? x
Me: It was great thanks we had a blast. I wasn't expecting to have one but my friends suggested it and I thought it was a good idea. Have you moved back in with your parents?
Girl3: That sounds nice, the spontaneous ones are always the best! Yeah I'm living back with my parents and on the dole, living the graduate dream lol x
Me: lol I understand, a lot of my friends are in the same boat. Would you say you were a spontaneous person? And when do you think you will get a job? x

No reply since, I know, I'm rubbish at texting, any advice on that bit would be great.
Girl 4 replied to my text too,
Me: Hey XXX its XXX. Was good to see you last night, I hope XXX didn't bore you with too much science when I left. Want to go for drinks tomorrow in XXX? x
Girl4: Hey was nice to meet you too. Sorry Im abit mental when I'm drunk, i'm not really interested tbh.
Me: Thats fine, I'm glad you had fun and I appreciate your honesty. Most people would give silly excuses. Nice to meet you x
Girl4: Yeah it was fun, dont mean to be a mess about, you seem like a nice guy x
Me: I am a nice guy. Maybe we will cross paths again and I will give you a second chance :p until next time... x


Again, any and all advice will be hugely appreciated on any aspect of my game.
Cheers,
