Im in a band and practise the set list every day just so I can remember all 12 songs when I play with the gang! When I go out lookin for game the first thing I think about is what the fuck am I gonna do once I get a woman who is interestd in me (doesnt take long- im a guy shes a girl hey).
This PU needs to be practiced every day like a set list like opener keno convo escallation close logistics like so when your the band you know what to do from start to end of each song start to end of each gig what to do if someone breaks a string or i drop a stick so you can just carry on.
Practise is ok in an ideal world with the real thing but i practise over and over at home the songs in the list so when i do it for real theres not much to worry about if something goes wrong (cause it does) so its not just research its homework of the list before you go anywhere near a live gig(pub) so at least you have a good understanding of what to do when its needed (shes interested you actually get a realy good raport going she wants you but if you havnt rehearsed your fucked- not a failure just lack of rehearsal.
So research whole game procedure, practise at home so you got it simplified that you can remember it (in front of mirror, perform looking at self or with mate, write it down, go through it daily) so when its live in field you at least know if it goes well you dont have to stop because you think shit! I cant remember what goes next!
Just a thought after a pint feel free to poo poo it whatever
wodayathink?

Oh and another thing it reminds me of is that the guy is the band and the girl is the beckoning audience- if you go onstage and say your sruffy, smell bad and dont look the part people will start to think 'oh they dont look like theyre going to be very good' and then you bash out those songs perfectly they'll soon be wanting more!
But say if you go onstage looking the part but with a sort of 'oh well here goes' and then play lacklustre people(girl) will soon lose interest.
So if you look the part, look enthusiastic and play the gig spot on you win the croud (but notice it didnt matter what you look like if you can make the croud feel good with your performance)

Well it is an performing art...

But you know, the further you get the more it becomes having fun with your friends instead of doing stand up comedy.

You just need experience and it will all feel more natural.

What about if you cant get that much expeirence because there isnt much chance of practice- needs quality not quantity- where do the best girls go for best chance of practice?

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a good girl for practice. All girls are different so you need to get exposed to a variety of girls in order to find out what they all have in common. And develop a feel for what works with a specific type of girl. When you are more experienced you can normally cold read a lot about a girl that you just met based on previous expereience.

I just say, take all chances you got to practice, except at work or within your social circle.
