Background: I needed a wing. After texting a few PUA that seem like pretteh cool guys, none were available, so I went downtown with a guy with social anxiety from 4chan (Z). Z seems like a nice guy, but much like me, is from a small town. I’ve since grown out of that mentality since moving to Orlando years ago, I have a nice wardrobe and am very social - Z not so much.

I started in BBar talked to a girl, she opened with trouble- she didnt seem into talking to me, but later I found out she had a BF (cool guy, that I chatted up). I flirted with some cute Puerto Rican. There were few people in the bar at this point, a couple bands were playing. Met a tatted guy (played in the upcoming band, good alpha anchor, cool guy) and just chatted randoms up with GOOD conversations, people liked me. Not a lot of girls here unfortunately so we bounced.

Went to FBar, everyone seemed closed off. I tried flirting Z didn’t take the appropriate cues and the girls thought of us as awkward, tried to save it - but moved on.

Went to QBar bar, scoped out the area and grabbed a spot at the bar where there was a huge party of girls behind us at a table - i figured they would start spilling over to the bar - but it didnt happen. I made small talk with a guy here and gave him a bit of advice (DHV). It was still pretty early, so we went back to BBar.

At BBar - cute Puerto Rican from before smiling at me a few times and I smiled in a coy way, I looked cool. There was a poster halfway between us about upcoming shows so I checked these out and she called me over. She was standing by the merch stand so I figured she was going to shit test me into buying something, so I say to her, “buy me a drink”, she giggles and we small talk, but I walk away when it feels right to do so - back to the bar, play it cool. later it turns out she was dating the tatted guy. None of my anchors here ended up working and dancefloor was the only option to make moves, but I had been drinking light beers and i usually have to be a little buzz to put the dance moves. Look for PR girl again - but cant find her - leave.

And back to QBar. Lots of girls, slightly nervous at first for the first time all night - caused by: by this time I had become a bit tired (made the mistake of arriving at 930 downtown) - didn't feel as alpha with not much energy - I should have walked back inside and worked bar game. Decide fuck it we’re going to do vodka/red bull drinks to pump energy. Girls arrive at bar and Z moved so they could get in - I asked them to buy drinks. Cute girl gave me a sip of her beer instead. They said ‘we’ll be over here’, rather ambiguously, I figured that was a shit test because I had no way of knowing where she was talking about. Later as they walked away I tried grabbing her hand soft/playfully - denied. Tried dancing outside a 5 set, tried diff angles, eventually going with the fatty as an in to the group, but her friend pulled her away. Later thought to ask if she always gets jealous of her friend dancing w cute guys. MUSIC ENDS - hung out a bit, wanted to sarge after music stopped but wing went to bathroom so I took off not to be the lone creeper, made a 5$ exit fee joke to passing girls - no reply.

Outside - Got hotdog talked to guys in line. Run into vampire group. I didn’t want to be too direct and talk to the cute girl, so I talked to the guy and made him enjoy our conversation, I directed the conversation to the girl a bit, but not much response / didn't seem into me - so I froze her. Her BF showed up - cool guy - and hung back so I talked to him a bit. A minute later everyone was gone - but not until two more guys arrived to say bye to them. It turns out one of the guys is a filmmaker (like myself) and likes the same niche films as me so it was a great connection.

A few notes: Socially I was on fire, everyone I started a convo was interested in talking to me - wherever I went (three bars, pizza place), but nothing stuck with the ladies. I feel like my wingman has too much to learn and that prevented me from landing the best chances that presented themselves (two sets). Even when I worked it, I had no backup - worse yet, someone who stuck out like sore thumb (not dressed nice, bad topics of convo, awkward - cool guy, but has a lot to learn - I gifted him a copy of The Game). Not all of my night is detailed here - I flirted with at least 10 girls/sets, but most of the time there was a BF there shortly after and they closed off.

Lessons Learned: Not to take a wing with me who is very inexperienced until I am better at my game. Not to leave to downtown at 930. Not to waste time in locations that are too male heavy. I had great openings that night, but at a few points I didn’t - it would have been great to have another wing there to help me with a quick tip (and vice versa).

Final words: While I am somewhat successful with women (exponentially more day-by-day), I have never been the kind of guy who has ever been able to pick up girls from bars (then again, I havent been out in about a year - something I’ve changed - will go out every week from now on). In the past I’ve gotten a couple numbers, but not tonight - even so it was by far my best game I’ve ever run in bars - situations didn’t work out. I know where to go next time and have a clearer picture in my head of what to do differently. I felt really smooth 90% of the night, got a lot of smiles.

Goal / Expectations for next time: I expect to have at least three number closes and a kasey next time I go out with a wingman.
