So we ended up being about 8 guys at the sarge, which I think was a good number. We split in 2 groups and went to the Gansevoort rooftop bar (some took a bit to get in so it took a few minutes to regroup).

I had a little trouble getting in since I went to the bathroom and by the time I got out a few were already inside. I was alone so I approached a girl who was waiting for her friends and tried to convince her to come up to the bar with me (so I could get in). "Let's go, you can pretend to be my wife and we'll divorce by the time we're upstairs." She laughed and I grabbed her hand and we moved towards the line, but while we were waiting the convo died, so we said goodbye and I just waited patiently.

I finally get in and see the guys inside. We chit chat, introduce ourselves and a few go out to approach. A guy called "Steve" was doing awesome, didn't even talk to him since he was in set most of the night.

Me and Mykel start talking and I'm asking for some pointers on my approach. He opens these 2 asian girls and I mostly observe him interact with his girl, he's very physical and I can see how he gets her attention by grabbing her, kissing her on the cheek, etc. We eject, he gives me some more advice and I go get a drink.

I bump into JT shortly after and catch up with the rest of the guys. I was talking to JT earlier about my situation and was hoping for another set of eyes on my approach. I can approach easily now, but for some reason I can't get any closes. He tells me to start isolating more, so I approach this cute swedish girl with her friend and isolate, she's super friendly and freaking adorable. Unfortunately she has a boyfriend, but it still ended on a good note. JT's story is really inspiring so I just spike up the physical and start being more aggressive. Grabbing girls arms and putting them around my neck, hugging them and saying they're just too fucking cute and squeezing their hips, most responded positively even though I got a few 'blowouts'. lol i remember one girl that was super cold and gave one word answers, yeah that one didn't last long.

I noticed that a lot (like, a lot) of these girls get approached CONSTANTLY in these type of venues. The bar wasn't that big so I would see some of the girls I talked to earlier being approached by guys the whole night. I even opened a girl by saying "So let me guess, I must be guy #44 who hits on you tonight", she responded positively and I teased her about her pronunciation of my name "No, it's not Kahr-los woman, it's Carrrrrrlos", I tried to k-close her shortly after but didn't manage to pull the trigger ("I bet you're one of those hot girls that are a terrible kissers..."). I figured the set was done so I ejected and handed it over to Chris as he was walking by - "Have you met my friend Chris? He's fucking awesome! And careful man, this girl's trouble." Hope he did well with her.

I approached a few other girls but nothing worth mentioning. My favorite one was actually post-bar. I was on my way home, waiting for a train and I spot this adorable redhead with cute highlights. I approach and we end up taking the same train. We talk and it turns out she lived in Mexico for 2 years (awesome, I was raised there), we joke around and make plans for tomorrow (I had trouble setting up day 2's and Rob told me that if I meet girls outside bars to just set up a date before leaving, which worked out great). Unfortunately, I asked for her number as she was exiting the train so she spat her numbers too quickly and I didn't get all the digits. OH well...

I'm still having a lot of trouble closing (k-close or f-close), I just simply can't do it. JT mentioned that I should isolate more so I'll definitely try that out more often, but other than that I have no idea. I'm also still dealing with a limiting belief about my looks. I'd appraoch a girl, it would go well (but no closes of course) and after ejecting I'd see the same girl being all over a chodey guy who's 'better looking'. So I have to work on that as well.
