Last night was my most successful night out. Oddly it involved with me going home by myself but the amount of compliments and confidence boosts I received last night was surprising. Read 5 and 6 if you do not want to read the whole thing. I know it is long.

1) Beginning of the night

I pour myself black velvet on the rocks to get a buzz going and then head to a local bar that is a ten minute walk from my house. I am meeting this woman that I had hooked up with a couple of times last week. I told her at the time we hooked up I was not looking for a relationship and asked her early if she was okay with casual. She responded in the affirmative. Well people change and it becomes apparent that she wants more than casual. Six months ago I would probably have been a push over and accepted this because I was actually getting some. I tell her this is not going to work and leave. I will miss the best head I have ever had.

2) Downtown/6th Street 2nd Bar

My roommate's birthday is tonight so I attempt to find them. 6th street is packed. ACL is this weekend and a lot of people are in town. I find my roommates and some other friends; they are in line waiting to get into a bar. While waiting a cute woman (7.5 out of 10) cuts in front of me. I jokingly say to her, "Oh, so you are going to cut in front of me?" She turns around gives me a one over and says, "Would you be mad? I nod my head yes. She laughs and informs me she is not 21 and she probably cannot get into this bar. I tell her to act like she is with me. I get her in and she is thrilled. She thanks me, kisses me on the cheek, and runs off to her friends.

The bar is crowded so my group is still near the front. An 8 walks by me to leave the bar and I am in her way. I begin to move to the side to let her through. She says, "excuse me" and then grabs my arm and squeezes my bicep. I turn around and she is looking back, I smile. Okay that was cool.

There are three women in our group. One is a 9, the other an 8.5, and the last a 7. The 9 has a boyfriend and I still do not know how that guy managed to lock her up. I have only talked to her once. When she sees me she gives me a hug. Alright that is cool. I talk to her for about 5 minutes. The birthday boy is getting a shot and the 8.5 comes up to me and says, "I have to tell you something though I probably should not because it will just make your ego bigger." I know what this is, a celebrity reference. She says, "I just saw the movie contagion and you look like Jude Law except your nose is straighter and your smile is symmetrical."

I respond, "So you are saying I am better looking than Jude Law." She laughs and punches me in the shoulder. That is a very nice compliment and my confidence is rising for the night. I like to respond to compliments with humor. I find it is the best way.

3) Downtown/6th Street - 2nd Bar

Birthday boy finishes his shot so it is time to bar hop. We get back out onto 6th and it is a zoo. I am following but quickly determine no one knows where they’re going. I take the lead and the 9 and 8.5 are right behind me. The rest are messing around. I keep walking; I have the two hot women, the rest can catch up. I find a bar that is not crowded and get everyone inside. I know the bartender and order 10 SoCo and lime shots along with a giant martini sized glass filled with some sugary drink for the women. I pay $10 for the whole deal. (Quick tip: Get to know your bartenders. They can get you free drinks but women do not have to know that) I have everything brought over and say a toast to the birthday boy.

4) Downtown/6th Street – 3rd Bar

We bar hop again and I lose most of the group. The 9 and the 8.5 are with me along with another friend so we continue on. I go to another bar where I had been trying to hook up with a bartender chick who is an 8 or a 9, depends what she is wearing. We get into the bar and I do not see the bartender. I go upstairs and do not see her so I order from another cute bartender chick. While waiting to order I tell the 9 that I am going to get the bartender to hit on me. I ask the bartender, “Do you know if “bartender X” is working.

She says, “Yes, downstairs at the back bar” and then does a double take. “Are you Joe? Bartender X has mentioned you to me. I believe we talked for a while earlier this summer.” She then tells me her name.

I respond with, “I hope she did not say anything negative. I do remember you; we did tequila shots together, though you changed your hair so I did not immediately recognize you.” She seems pleased with my observation and pours me and her tequila shots.

We leave to walk downstairs. I look at the 9 and raise my eyes saying I told you. She does not seem too impressed. I then see the bartender chick who is a 9 tonight. She sees me walking up and comes around from behind the bar. She gives me a hug and then a kiss on the cheek. I am flat out stunned. I have never touched this woman in my life. I have only talked and flirted with her from the other side of the bar. We are talking with are backs to the bar. I place my hand on top of hers and leave it there. She does not move away. After ten minutes her manager comes over so I have to bail. I go back to the group and now the 9 is looking at me like what the hell. I tell her and the 8.5, “She must think I look like Jude Law too.” When we leave I walk over to the bartender and take her hand and hold it for 6 or 7 seconds. I tell her she would only hold my hand this long if she was attracted to me. I leave the bar, it is closing time but I will be sure to text her later.

5) Closing Time – Bus back North

I am feeling amazing. I cannot believe what happened with the bartender chick. The 9 is still right next to me, attached to my hip. If she did not have a boyfriend I would be trying to get with her right now. I sit down across from the 9 but the bus becomes crowded very quickly with people standing in the aisle. I look over to my right and see a 7.5 sitting next to me. I cannot remember exactly what I said to her but that is not important. We hit it off and soon I have her laughing. I then feel her leg up against mine and notice how nice of legs they are too. I place my hand on her thigh and leave it there. We talk some more and then she tells me, “You have beautiful eyes.” I stare into her eyes, she laughs, looks down, and then back at me. I just give her an asymmetrical smirk. She then comments on my hair, she says she does not know if she likes it. I interrogate her for more to find out why. Her friend chimes in that my hair is just like Don Draper’s. (It actually is. I am going as Don Draper for Halloween so I have been growing my hair out. Genetics have given me the same hair part as Jon Hamm so I can pull it off)

She laughs and says, “You are a dirty blonde Don Draper.” Okay, celebrity reference number two.

After about ten minutes we are nearing the stop. The bus begins to clear out and I can now see the 9 again. She sees me with my hand on the 7.5’s thigh and she gives me a look and then shakes her head. The 7.5 notices this and asks if I know the women across from us. I look over at the 9 and she does it again. The 7.5 becomes somewhat upset and lets me know she does not think my friends approve of her. I’m like shit. What the hell is this!? I try to deflect and then we reach the 7.5’s stop. I do not know what to do when the 7.5 says, “Are you not getting off?” Well there is my cue.

6) The Walk with the 7.5

We start walking back and I lie that I live in the direction we are walking. We get to her apartment complex and she leans up against the wall. I am talking to her and begin to slowly get closer. I am bringing the sexual tension up and I can see that she feels it. While I’m doing this we get interrupted a couple of times by her sorority friends who are walking by. I need to get to her apartment before she has second thoughts. I tell her I will meet her 90% if she will meet me 10%. She nods, I go in 90, she goes in 10, and we are making out. She begins to get really into it and I think I am set. At this time we hear more footsteps so she stops. It is more of her friends and one of them comes up and starts talking to her. This is not good. She then walks into her complex. I ask, “You are not going to invite me up?”

She responds, “I want to but my friends, blah, blah, blah.”

Well dammit. As I am walking away I text her, “text me within five minutes I will turn around.”

She responds, “text me tomorrow I want to see you again.”

7) Walk home

I am pissed off at myself. I was right there ready to go. We were making out and I did not move the situation quick enough. I laughed when I thought this because I was moving really quick. I had only just met her on the bus 20 minutes ago. I am still disappointed. Once we started making out I should have tried to take it upstairs and finish the deal.

Overall the night was amazing and a great confidence boost. I am already a confident individual but I feel like I am reaching the next level. I now expect women to respond positively to me and show sexually attraction. I have become really comfortable with kino and somehow always manage to steer the conversation quickly so we are talking about my physical features. I should probably tape record myself to see how I do this or maybe I do not do anything and the woman brings it up.

Also if anyone else here gets a lot of different celebrity references, why do you think this is? It just seems odd that according to different women I look like four or five different celebrities.

And while writing this casual chick texted me to tell me that she overreacted and would like to still continue what we are doing. I do not buy it but we will see.
