So first I'll set the context real quick. Only recently heard about PUA, halfway through "The Game" and went out last night with all these tips in mind from reading various quick articles on how to approach, 3 second rule and all that.

Myself and trusty wingman approach the the bar, whilst all the while giving him quick overviews of what I've read to date on PUA. We decide to throw all out fears and insecurities out the door and just go for it. We grab some drinks and sit down at a table next to a 2 set (7 and 9) with myself aiming at Ms 9. We move in and use the opinion opener whereby our friend's gf found a box of his ex's stuff and she's over reacting. We didn't sell it at all and these girls know it was a lame excuse to get talking to them. Luckily they played along.

It's at that point after the initial ice breaker conversation that I freeze up. I was the designated driver and was sober as a judge and would be the whole night. I keep thinking "oh shit - I need to say something but make it funny and different than the usual run of the mill lines guys would use" e.g. what do you study etc. The set ends up excusing themselves to go to the bathroom after a while and never return . The very first time we sarge and it ends like this! What ever happened to beginners luck.

We decide to suck it up and move on, eyeing another 2 set (8 and 9) who just finished their food and seem to be enjoying themselves. We head over with heartbeats racing and instead go with a standard, "mind if we join you for a while?" Luckily they have broad smiles and shimmy over to make space for us. The conversation flows well and soon I've thrown the thought of making unique conversation out of my mind. I ask her with much reluctance due to PUA guidelines the classic , "what do you study?" This goes on for a while and myself and 8 are escalating at a good pace. Soon the question of "so do you guys wanna go dancing with us?"

Now myself and trusty wing man despise dancing but these girls were hot and fun to hang around with so we throw caution to the wind and warn them that they were about to witness some very standard average white guy dance moved, they laugh and we move to a nightclub venue.

Finally while taking a break from dancing (which turned out to not be terrible) I isolate her from her friend and make some chit chat. She makes the comment that she hates not being the best at things and is very competitive to which I replied, "are you the best at kissing?". She frowns and says its a weird question to ask but I persist and ask, "well are you?" she smiles shyly and says , "im not bad thats for sure" to which I reply, "Well I'll have to judge for myself" and like that K-close is established.

The rest of the night has some awkward moments from my side (I'm sober while she's pretty tipsy) and some questionable comments/remarks from myself

The next day I don't get the same feel good vibe on texting with her and even though she invited me for to go for breakfast with them the following day - which I couldn't make. I'm wondering whether it was due to my sometimes awkward sober behavior or maybe some of the comments.

I'm wondering if anyone knows where this might have gone wrong. She spoke about her ex a bit and asked me about mine. She lives about 12 hours drive away and was only visiting my city for the weekend.

TL:DR struck out on first set, succeeded with second, danced with them at different venue despite not wanting too, K-close, lots of kino and flirting, teasing - even invited to breakfast following day. She spoke about her ex and lived 12 hours drive from my city. Very distant on texts next morning. Need some input!

That about sums up the first night of trying to implement some PUA approaches. I feel overloaded with all the information to be honest and doesn't quite feel like im being myself so it's not natural and i think the girls pick up on this
