So I'm a long time lurker on seddit and reddit in general but I thought that this experience that I had recently would make a good field report. I'm no PUA, but I've been trying to up my game.

The day after Christmas I went to to a debutante ball that I was invited to. (If you don't know what that is, it's where a whole bunch of rich white people go and present their daughters to the "high society of the area. A few weeks later they have a big party in "celebration"). Two of my good friends were being debuted and I was invited to most of the festivities. This whole debutante thing is really confusing. Ask any questions you have about it and I'll try to answer and explain the best I can. I'm not in this club, I just know a lot of people in it.

Before the party, a dinner was held in honor of two of my friends (we'll call them Halley and Kelsey). There wasn't much of a chance to meet girls whom I didn't know because all of the debs had dates and the people who didn't have dates (who just attending the dinner and the party) are good friends of mine. One girl though, HB7, I didn't know. Before dinner I started talking to her and found out that she is Kelsey's cousin, Paige from Ohio. Throughout the dinner I kept directing my attention towards Paige, while trying to keep the conversation with everyone. We had a good dinner and then parted ways to meet again later at the party.

Two hours later when we got to the party, I was a little unprepared for what I was trying to do. There were a lot of people whom I haven't seen since high school and a good amount of people (parents of people I knew) I wanted to shmooze with (trying to get a job). I also started drinking a little bit so Paige fell off the radar for a couple of hours.

When I networked and caught up enough with other people, I went looking for her. I found her and danced with her for a while. Towards the end of the night we were both sufficiently intoxicated and having a great time dancing. (They had hired a band that played old and new songs) The last song of the night was Blurred Lines and as much as I hate that song, its great to swing dance, twirl girls around and is all around really sensual. When the song ended, my friends were urging me to leave because one of them had too much to drink. She told me that she wanted to see me later. I told her that I want to see her too. I got her number and k-closed the interaction for the night.

I texted her later that night telling her to come over but she wasn't able to (don't drink and drive). We decided that we would see each other before she left town. I texted her the next day and we decided to go on a date after christmas. I took her ice skating and we had a pretty good time. We ended the night at my house but nothing came of it. I took her home and ended the interaction with her on a positive note.

I think that this was pretty good practice. I'm on break from college for a month and there aren't many times to practice your game. I didn't want to get rusty while I'm home. The best advice I can give you is take every opportunity to practice. And then practice more.
