Since June**

My game has always been trash but now is a bit less trashy. Yesterday, my friend is back in town and we decided to hit some event that was organized by some student organization at some bar downtown.

Before going monk mode, these kinds of events used to be dreadful for me. I'd go, chill with some friends, some girls would join, but I'm always Mr. Nice Guy no matter what I did. They'd always keep laughing at me and saying the most friendly shit ever hinting "Keep your distance, I can't see myself fucking you" while at the same time eying some other dude. Naturally, I felt really bad about myself in that stage. I was chubby and had game like shit.

After coming out of monkmode, I'm 10kg (44lbs) lighter and been lifting since June so my body finally looks average (remember, I looked so chubby). Have good posture. My face is a 7, so I would say that I went from a 4 to a 7 (bought some clothes that actually fits me, got a haircut...etc etc)

So yesterday, we're chilling over some beers catching up with each other, and some girl joins the conversation, she knows my friend. She greets him enthusiastically and totally ignores the shit out of me. I just hold frame and sit still listening to them. A moment later, I told him I'm getting another beer and be back.

I came back and found that some other friend has joined the group, we converse a little and she keeps on pretending like she doesn't see me until she mentions that she wants to stay in town even after her internship finishes.

I say, "Oh yeah? What kind of internship are you doing?" and holly shit.

She turns to me and literally forgets about my friend. Her eyes light up and starts talking about herself. I used everything I learnt from the TRP, like using her cues as fuel for conversation. She shoots some shittests, I agreed and amplified some, backfired some, all while maintaining that humurous vibe and stuff.

After a while of that, the conversation kinda dies out and we get to the point where she says, "Well, you look like you're a sociable person, I like that".

I thanked her for the compliment and a few moments later, she tells she has to go cuz she's going for her internship tomorrow early in the morning. She holds eye contact with me after saying that, says bye to the whole group and leaves.

About escalation, I tried putting my hands over her shoulders whenever we both broke out of laughter and leaned as close as I could while discussing whether Queen Elizabeth I died virgin or has sleeping with the fuckboys of the 17th Century.

What you guys think I should've done more? Any advice will be appreciated!
