Hey guys,

Been around the forums for a bit picking up tips and decided to join and introduce myself:

I'm in a 42yr old guy, recently separated, living in Charlotte, NC. I'm in no way "Ken" doll. I'm 5'5" and I think average looking. I hit the gym regularly and for the most part take care of myself. Like I said, I've been lurking around the forums for several months picking up tips from everyone. Using some of the techniques I've read on here, I wanted to share an experience that never would have happened if it wasn't for you guys.

Being recently separated after a 15yr marriage, I can safely say I was way out of practice. I mean I never was a ladies man by any means and quite frankly was never confident in myself. I did not have game. I'm pretty sure that all changed because of the tips and advice provided by you folks.

I was at a local tavern a few days ago. I'm considered a regular there and know the bar/waitstaff pretty well. This fairly attractive mid/late 20yr old sits next to me. She was probably a 6 ... decent looking, great body. There was also this very attractive, most definitely an 8 or 9, 40+ yr old sitting with friends several tables away. Making a long story short, before the night ended I had found myself making out like our plane was going down with both of them (no .... not at the same time unfortunately). It was without a doubt one of the best nights of my life ... no exaggeration.

Again, I had NO game before finding and reading the tips/advice from you guys. So to anyone new here, read and learn. These guys know what they are doing and it works.

Thanks guys and I hope to have more stories and maybe eventually some advice as I move into "the game".

I'm 48 and wondering if I'm too old for this site. Good to see another elder statesman. So what was your approach?

Hey MG,

Sorry for the delay. One of those weeks.

Obviously the approaches were different. With the younger, she sat a couple of chairs over at first. And was looking at the ladies night drink menu. I just moved over a chair and said there were people coming that needed the seat. Then joked about the fruity drinks on the menu. I really had no idea ... just guessed. After the developing this initial contact, she got up to do something and wanted me to save her seat. That became the joke of the evening every time one of us would get up. A couple of times I would get up for no reason just to say hold my seat and give her a light touch on the shoulder/back. It was one of these away games, that I noticed the older. Then, as my luck would have it there was the CB that tried a couple of times to move in so I asked her to go outside (patio seating) to get away from the douchebag. Next thing I know she did a lean in so I took the opportunity. She ended up leaving not long after which left my night free to try something with the older.

With the older, I actually approached her friends first. The older walked by and we sort of made eye contact ... slightly. So I just went to one of her friends and joked by saying something about how loud it was. I can't remember exactly what I said but it was kinda dorky I'm sure. The target if you will, was on the other side of the table trying to talk of course I played like I couldn't hear so I just HAD to move to her. From there it was all just banter, light touches, and adapting to what she was saying. With this one however, there was no moving or relocating. We just starting making out right there. She was eventually in my lap before the end of the night.

Ended up with 2 phone numbers. And actually called the older. I think we're going out sometime this weekend.

I think one of the biggest factors in this was my confidence. That night it was pretty high. Knowing the place and staff like I did helped cause everyone knew me.

Good luck my friend.
