Tonight was my first night out sarging, two things occured,
i) I got slapped
ii)I was told I came across as a "try hard" "cant tell if your lying" and a bit sleazy

The rest of the sets (4) can be rated as between neutral and positive.

OK first the slap, I was talking to the obstacle so my friend could hit on the hot girl, this occured on the dance floor, first i go up and say hi!, she says your friend is not doing too well with my friend (they're hitting it off), I say "cool", so how long you lived here, she says fuck off, I say do you work here she says fuck off, after 3 more questions to her and 3 more insults, i walk away, but as i'm semi vexed by now i say something like, this guy is an orthodontist, you may want to speak to him (she had bad teeth), she looks disgusted at me, then i say again to her, what are the best clubs here again insult, then i say you should wash your mouth out, and BLAM! WHACK! slap across the face. She goes to target and tells the guy I'm winging to fuck off and if he's with me he best fuck off too.

second one began when i opened a set when my mate went to the loo, i opened a set, then when he returned we sat opposite another 2 set, got chatting friendly banter, (they really liked my wing). I told them I'm telepathic and do the number routine, then they say i remind them of a guy they used to know. They ask me what i do for a living i say i'm a nurse and a PT, they dont believe me! then they start asking how i know my wing as we look vastly different in age. i tell them they are blunt, then i ask one thats a student about her course and she cant answer my questions, then they also say they cant tell if i'm lying or not. I ask if they know andy kauffman they say no and then i tell them not to worry, but that its my style. At the end my wing and i eject, but not before he asks what they think of our approach, they say he's sweet and next time he should ditch me. I say good luck on the course to one of them and goodbye to the other. its bye from them to me, without eye contact.

It is worth noting my wing is 5 years younger than me and is much better looking. The area we were in is very much so working class. and that second set i did make laugh earlier on in the interaction.

To be honest after tonight I feel like I've been through the fires, almost to the point where I cant see the light at the end of the tunnel!

SO friends, colleagues and Romans, where did I fuck up?!

Well your first approach, on the dance floor was a huge mistake! I'm not saying it's impossible to pickup out there...it's just different! I'm not the best with the dance floor crap... but I do use the dancefloor when I can't think of anything to say! After you have already opened and hooked the set, but you can tell that you're running out of things to talk about, I'll ask her if she wants to go dance...I'll be out there for a song or 2, just enough time to think of a few things to talk about then I lead her off the dancefloor! If she enjoys dancing then I suggest YOU be the one to stop dancing because then she'll still want to dance more and this leaves it open for Kino escalation and gives you chances to refresh your brain!! It's been a fantastic fall back for me! Try not to talk to them on while you're dancing either!

The second set...I'm not really sure what to make of it...it lacks a few neccessary details...What you said, how you said it, energy level, body language, etc...

But if I had to guess(which I shouldn't) I would say you possibly came off either too creepy or too cocky! If you came off too creepy it's probably because of your body language while you were talking to them or when you approached them...like I said I'm just guessing!!

If you were too cocky...try to have an even amount of funny in there as well! Like when they asked what you do, you should have said something outrageous...like a lion tamer, or a disposable lighter repairman...just something dumb...I like to say I smuggle babies down to Mexico to sell on the black market(you have to be carefull with this one...might possibly be a touchy subject!)
Another thing...You can't just go and talk about youself like that...Ask them if they'd like to play a game or something along those lines..You have the right idea and the right material...just not the right delivery!
