Hey guys. So my 19th birthday was the weekend (legal drinking age is 19 where I live), and after lurking seddit for the last few months I figured I'd approach some women and see how hard it really was. Over the course of the night I opened 3 sets, which was pretty good for me considering that I'm your typical AFC nice guy. I was downtown with 4 close friends. 2 of which were a couple. Out of the other 2, one was a guy and was was a girl. Both were in relationships so I was the only one in the group who could potentially hook up that night. The girls IMO are pretty hot, so I thought they would boost my social proof. Anyways, here's how my night went.

  • Club #1

We get to the club, and what a surprise, we know the bouncer! A friend from high school. Sweet. We get into the club, and he gives us a bunch of coupons for free beer. I chat with him for a while before heading to the bar with the rest of my friends. Once at the bar I look across and notice a HB6 thats wearing a huge pink "Its my Birthday!" button on here dress. I yelled out "Hey it's my bithday too!" and we high five across the bar, in front of about 5 random dudes waiting for drinks haha! After getting our drinks, I get all my friends on the dance floor. I was constantly thinking of ways to increase my social proof, and I thought being on the dance floor with a couple cute girls would do the trick. While dancing one of my guy friends points out a HB7 and her not-so-hot friend dancing by themselves up on the stairs. I say fuck it and decide to approach. I go up to them and say "hey, you ladies want to know a secret?" "what is it?" "Todays my birthday!" (Haha this was my opener all night, I figured it could be an effective conversation starter). They begin wishing me happy birthday and give me hugs, then they continue dancing. I ask them how they are, and if they're having a good time. I was talking to both of them, but I was lighly kinoing the HB7 by lightly putting my arm around her waist. We dance for a little, but the conversation dies, and I'm not sure what to do, so I eject and go back to my friends. That was a slight confidence boost. I just didn't know where to go with the conversation or if I should of just danced. (It's note worthy that as I was walking up the stairs towards them, the HB7 was shutting down some random guy haha I just walked past him as I approached them). Anyways on to club 2.

  • Club #2

We get in and just head straight to dancing. As we dance I noticed a mixed set of about 6-7 girls behind us, ranging from HB5 to HB7. One thing I noticed though was that they all looked anywhere from 22-25. Now that I think about it this was probably a little ambitious considering my total lack of experience, but I grew a pair and just went for it. "Hey! You all owe me something!" They look weirdly at each other "Uh whats that?" "Its my birthday, Give me a birthday dance!" I begin to dance in the middle of their circle (As i type this, it keeps sounding worse and worse hahah) One of the girls ask me how old I am, I say "Im 20, not a teen anymore!" and she high fives me and we dance holding hands for about a minute. This is when the AMOG shows up. Hes some jacked short guy, and he just started grinding me... I said to the girl next to me "I dont know how I feel about this.." And she told me he was with them. This awkward position forced me to eject the set, because I had no idea what to do, and it felt weird. Its getting late now, so we head back to the first club for the last hour before the clubs close.

  • Club #1 (Round 2)

We come back into the first club, and I chat with the bouncer like I did the first time, and we score more free beer tickets. While waiting at the bar for our drinks with a friend, I see a 2 set, HB7 and an unattractive friend. I get my drink, and immediatly approach them, without thinking. Luckily, the HB7 had a birthday girl button on too! So I open them talking about how its my birthday, and her friend leaves us alone in the booth. I tell her I'm 20, and she's 20 too haha so we bond over that for a bit. I begin light kino on her leg, while talking about how her birthday is going. She tells me where she lives, and I instantly begin to neg her for it. She lives on the opposite side of town then me, and I begin to say how better my side is, and how shitty her side is. This is where things go bad. Turns out the booth full of girls behind us were all her friends, all from her part of town. They all start insulting my side of town, but I stand by my opinion. This is when her HB6 friend leaves her booth and joins us. So now it me vs. the HB7 and HB6. I continue to prove my point as to why my side of town is better, when the HB7 sees someone she knows,and just jumps up yelling at them as she runs toward them (I didn't see who it was). This left me shocked and I was just like wtf? in my head. I ask the HB6, "did she just jump up and leave?" "yea looks like it" "oh, well im going to go back to my friends now" and as I get up to leave, she grabs my arm and says "my side of town is still way better then yours!" I say "theres no way! anyways see you later, have fun!" (now that i think about it I should of seen this as an opportunity, but I didn't at the time.)

I head back to my friends, and then we leave to head home.

So those were the main point of my night. Sorry that it's so badly written, but it's late. One thing I want to add. I felt it was hard for me to sarge because I feel like I still look 16-17. I feel like people would percieve me as some underaged guy who got a fake ID to get in. I'm not sure how to change my mindset as for the next while I will most likely always be the youngest guy in the club (except for people who are actually using fake ID's).

So thats my story, sorry for the length. If it's recommended I'll make a second one the next time I go out. Keep in mind this was my first time ever going to clubs, and my first time approaching random strangers. Any advice about anything from how I wrote the FR, to my "game" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
