So I'm jumping back into my game after about lets say 3 to 4 years out?

Long story short had 2 years of focusing on job/life stuff moved back to my old stomping ground. Dated one girl for a year once that ended started dating a friend of an ex of mine which had previously been out of my grasp.

So now that run is over I find myself single again and even though I could likely find my next easy long term that's not suiting my mood at the moment.

But just last night I found myself at a local bar not really looking for anything but a beer only to find myself talking to this hot little bartender and discovering my skills were definitely not on point. Things that I had previously addressed were back. The up side is where as years ago when I first started out I had to think about things after the night had ended in order to be able to identify the problems. Last night I was able to recognize those things and correct them on the spot. So things like missing eye contact the way I should I corrected so that I didn't feel like I was completely gameless.

I know someone here is probably gonna say something about bartenders and going after them and blah blah blah. To you I'll just say... I've done it before so relax not my first rodeo.

Anyway looking forward to any new skills I can pick up.

And I will say the last time I was really in the game the economy was better an the psychology of people just seemed different. This just me or anyone else notice anything similar?
