It's been a while since I posted a field report, I've been busy moving in to my house and maintaining a couple pseudo-relationships (not to mention Skyrim).

I'm here now, with a good story to tell the reinforces a lot of what r/seduction teaches. As always, my field reports tend to be long. Anybody interested in helping me have a more concise writing style should PM me, lol.

Let me start by saying my inner game has gotten a lot better over the past 6 months or so. If you're still having confidence/self esteem issues, they should be a top priority.

Clothing: Dark jeans, classy dkny t shirt and a hoodie with the zipper undone. A little stubble on my face, and I go with the "tamed messy" hair style. Nothing special. Also note, I have what are essentially rug burns on my face and a slightly busted lip from training jiu jitsu. I consider myself a pretty attractive guy, but as you can tell I'm not dressed to impress this evening.

The night begins with a couple of my close friends and my roommate at my house. Thursday evening, having a couple of beers and generally just enjoying ourselves. We go out to get food, so we sit in a booth. The table set up is hard to describe, but basically there are a row of tables connected together. A girl is sitting alone at one of the tables reading "A Game of Thrones," so I sit next to her and the rest of our group of 5 joins. I don't immediately engage her, but rather just have fun with my friends.

As we look at the menus, I get her attention by touching her arm with the back of my hand and saying "Excuse me, do you eat here often? Could you make a recommendation?" She recommends something (which I end up not ordering), but now that she's opened up my roommate and I start to engage her in convo. Ask her about her reading preferences, if she saw the show first, basically trying to do a deep dive. I notice her blushing among other IOIs. We talk a little more, Then a guy shows up and sits across from her. This is where I messed up, I didn't engage him or welcome him into the conversation. I just stopped talking. Stupid, I know, especially after observing for a bit and realizing they most likely weren't together.

In any case, the food is good and I'm still having fun with my friends. Across the room I spot a girl that I went to high school with and had wanted to hook up with. I had never approached her romantically, but just like that I get another chance! So I go to the bathroom, and on the way back go up to her. She's in a set of 4 girls. I once again lead with the back of the hand to arm touch. "Hey, didn't you go to [name of school]?"

We talk a little bit, how have you been and all that stuff. I get her laughing, at one point she asks what I do and I tell her, "I'm a software engineer, but I strip in the evenings." I know, lame right? Whatever, she laughed! We talk a little bit more, she tells me that she's leaving monday to go to med school in grenada. Holy shit, that's a pretty good IOI right? She tells me that her and her friends are going to a nearby bar in a little bit, and I should join them. I tell her I might be able to. I hand her my phone and tell her, "put your number in my phone, I might meet you at the bar tonight but if I can't we'll definitely hang out before you leave monday." She puts her number in, I say bye and go back to my friends. We all have to work in the morning but now I want to go meet this girl at the bar. I recruit my roommate (who has a gf) and one of my single buddies who I often go "scheming" with (our way of saying sarging... I like it better, if you guys want to use it too feel free).

We beat them to the bar, so we go ahead and order drinks. After a few minutes we see them come in. Wait a minute then go and engage. My roommate has agreed to be my wingman, and we tell our other buddy to lay low a bit. He only pulls women of a certain type (daddy issues), and that's even hit or miss. These girls are not that type, so he agrees to keep it calm and watch a bit.

We start talking to my target, but the more the conversation goes on the more I can see she is in to my roommate. I begin to get frustrated, but I want to play it cool so I go to chat up her friends. Then one of the groups' male friends arrives...

My target and one of the others are all over him. My friends and I stay in convo with the remaining three girls, two of which are unattractive and one who is absolutely gorgeous. I might even go as far as to call her an HB9 (target is an HB7, maybe 8). We keep commenting about how the DJ is playing crappy music, I extend my hand to HB9 palm down and tell her, "let's go tell him this isn't cool," she grabs my hand and follows me!

I was surprised, but I keep her hand all the way up to the DJ. She writes a song she wants to hear on the request list, and starts to head back to where our friends all our. I stop her and ask if she likes psychology. She says yes, and I tell her I have a cool game we can play. "Come sit with me," I tell her as I walk to a nearby couch. She complies, we are sitting very close so that our legs are touching. I do the cube routine. She likes it, and afterwards I use it to deep dive. I find out she likes to write, and tell her I'd like to read her works, I could give an objective opinion. She says ok, and I hand her my phone. "Put your number in here," I tell her, the same as I had with her friend earlier.

After a little more conversation, she remarks that our friends are probably wondering where we went. She starts to get up, but I grab her arm. "One more thing, before we go back." "Yes?" "Kiss me." I smile, she kind of does a half exasperated nervous giggle and melts back into the sofa. I go for it, get a couple kisses but she's nervous.

"I can tell you're nervous, let's go back to your friends," I say with a warm smile. She laughs and we head back. At this point, she pulls her friend (my original target) aside, they run away for some girl talk. My friends and I leave at this point.

This was all last night. Today I text her around 5:30 when I get home from work, "Hi [HB9], this is [motherducker]. The alcohol has worn off, but I'm still interested in reading your writings. Let's get drinks at [bar], 7pm. Bring your fictions!"

She replies, "Haha ok cool. But yea now that it's worn off I'm nervous about letting someone read them!"

So I'll let you guys know how that goes.

Self analysis time!

Pros:

Getting much better at opening and keeping conversation going.

Good kino, leading and getting compliance.

Kept a cool, masculine yet fun demeanor throughout the night.

Cons:

Having trouble dealing with other guys coming into the picture

Let my roommate steal the thunder by not making enough effort to engage the original target.

As always, suggestions and thoughts are appreciated!
