So there I was. Downtown my city. First I went to a 4 start restaurant with a bar to have a good drink and loosen up. Get my inner game going and reflect in everything I've read and watched this week. Then I crossed the street into a very popular venue. Sort of a club/ live music deal. It took me a bit to get comfortable and find my first set. I happened to spark up some Convo with a guy at the bar which eased my nerves a bit. Then I was on to my first set. Girl next to me at the bar. She orders a water, which I observed and had to give her a hard time over. I busted bet for hanging out with friends but being lame and drinking water. This went well, but the conversation quickly died off. I tried to recover it but I knew I was sinking. So I bailed. I observed the room, need up talking to one if the band members everyone at this particular place really like. That worked well because I feel like it raised my social value since him and I were getting along and having a good time laughing n shot. From there I was looking for my next set. A good dance song came on and I saw a women siting alone but moving to the music. So I swooped in and in a smooth way, or what I thought was a smooth way, suggested she get up and come dance with me. She was very quick to show me the ring I had not seen on her left hand and wasn't going to give me an inch. So I left it alone. I moved on to the next bar. Once inside a club downtown I ran into a guy who was just closing with some chick and they were in their way out. I signaled to him to congratulate him lol, and while she was looking for her coat he came over and chatted with me about how he pulled it off. Some of the techniques he used and we exchanged numbers, so I might have a good wing in the works which is cool. I don't have one currently. All of my friends are married and not into local hotspots. Anyways I opened on 3 chicks at the bar in the club. It was obvious they were not experience at the bar. So I opened with giving them a hard time about not knowing what drinks to get and waiting so long without knowing how to get a bar tenders attention etc. this set went well. But I found myself trying to entertain a group, rather than picking one girl and just working on her. We stood and had some descent banter, but the Convo started dying and I created a reason to leave the set, hoping to swing by them later and re open after I had refreshed myself. Finally I'm hanging out looking for a new set and see two chicks at a table looking bored. So I opened with them about how they looked bored and the Convo quickly took off. Turns out we had some similar interests and so forth. Upon opening this set I did feel much more comfortable after having a couple practices behind me and getting out of my shell a little bit. I think that's why the Convo went better. I was using some stealth excavation with touching and such while keeping the Convo normally paced and moving. So we hung out a bit and I offered a ride home. They accepted. So once I'm at they're apartment I'm thinking were good to go. Well, the one of these two I got to sit my be on the couch while the other sat near us on the floor. We had good banter and were having fun just hanging out. Under the blanket that was in the girl with me in the couch I was using some kino and escalated touching on the legs and hips and such. This went well and she was receptive to it. However the other chick was not going to leave us alone for me to escalate further. I was stuck, tired spinning and getting nowhere. Soon, girl with me on the couch gets tired and seems to lose interest. To wrap up the night I end up just chatting with other girl while the one I was after fell asleep and I left with two new friends and two new numbers I didn't have before. So success or failure it was still a better night than I would have had sitting at home or with a married friend. Since I'm new please comment in my story! Give me some advice or tell me what I did right! Feedback would be great!

Congrats on your first night going well. I'm pretty new to PUA too, but one thing I learned about keeping the conversation flowing is never let the conversation die or slow down. You see when you're having a conversation your job is to keep the conversation exciting, and not let the other person lose interest. The conversation can only get to a certain high point (where both people/parties are having fun/laughing/ and enjoying themselves.) But soon after that the conversation starts to slow down and get less interesting.To avoid losing interest what you can do is: while the conversation is a high point switch over to a subtopic within the conversation (say you're talking about a movie you saw and you're describing the movie or something. When the conversation gets to the high point start talking about something like how you didn't like how the popcorn tasted really bad*<or anything else> and then maybe switch the conversation over to foods.)

Also, another thing I've learned is not to do the whole questions thing. Like when you first meet someone you tend to ask them things like: where are you from, how old are you, what do you do for a living. Instead say something like: You have a little bit of an accent, are you from _____ (insert place)? (actually learned that from succeed at dating.)

Hope I helped a bit.

Ya definitely. Good feedback thanks! I'm working on getting into a mindset of being a but more aggressive with my words. Rather than coming off as just another nice guy. I'm wanting to build up my pua Convo skills ya know. Something I've been thinking about alot. Just have to have the balls to take the risks with being more edgy I think.

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about, I need to work on the same thing.

Ya it's tough to know how big of risks to take when. Unfortunately no one is offering a whole lot of advice on this site for me so far. I don't know what the deal is. But it's cool, I'll get it down
