Disclaimer: This is riddled with typos and grammatical errors. I wrote it up quick this afternoon. Yes we both had too much to drink. I can't argue with that.

I skipped a Day 2 FR because none of the sets really stuck out, although I met two Italian girls who were really fun. Lets be clear: The vast majority of young Italian girls are beautiful. They must put something in the water.

Evening of Day 3 I head up to the bar at the top of my hotel to get my free "welcome drink" that came with the room. There are two white girls that caught my eye immediately. HB7 and HB5. I use NotLurking's "are you using this chair" opener and it worked like magic. I get complimented on being smooth. I love the instant confidence boost that comes with being immediately complimented by your target(s).

I start tourist interview small talk. HB7 doesn't seem to want me around, or just doesn't seem like she's having fun in general. So, I chat up HB5 to build some jealousy. HB5 is a Redditor, so we had an instant conversation that I tried to use to make HB 7 feel excluded. I was trying to get her to qualify, but she did not want to play ball. I switch attention between HB5 and HB7 so I don't give off a clear target. HB5 is eating it up, HB7 is just kind of along for the ride.

I decide it's worth investing time in set when I learn these 2 don't really know each other, HB5 is a shut in (non-partier), and HB7 likes to go out but "doesn't have anyone to go out with." I play nice with the group and they lead me back toward their neighborhood. Before we left the hotel, HB7 and I make it clear that we are going to hang out after we drop HB5 back off at their room (there was only one key).

We go back to their place, drinking along the way. I still couldn't tell if HB7 was DTF or not. She was on-and-off as we were walking back to their room, but loosened up at the last bar we were at together. I was able to sit next to HB7 in a booth and do some light kino, but trade off and work HB5 from time to time as well. I got the staff of the restaurant to dance and smile at me, which was the best social proof I could manage.

We drop HB5 off and head to a place called Campo de Fiori, which is just a plaza lined with bars. Generally considered the best see and be seen spot in Rome, from what I can tell. En route I ask the purposely ambiguous question "What are you looking for tonight?" She knew the game I was playing. She responded with "Just fun, nothing crazy. Wait what are you looking for?" negatively responding to the sexual connotation. I did a mischievous smile and responded with "Just fun, nothing crazy." the ambiguity worked, she smiled but wasn't sure how to take it. I was fine with leaving it at that for the time being.

HB7 is clearly a drinker much more so than me. I wasn't really in Rome to drink. First place we hit is a bar with a line at the door. I tell HB7 she needs to act like shes with me so we get in easier. She responds "act like I am with you? You need to act like you are with me." Took me about 2 secs to decide how to respond. My competitive nature wanted to quip about it, but I knew that wouldn't end well. Getting in a verbal sparring match over who was out with who wouldn't get me anywhere. I decided to let her win that one. I put my arm around her and pulled her next to me. We walked to the front of the line and entered like bosses.

We take a shot and follow it a mixed drink of choice. Standing in the middle of the bar I do some light kino, then start dancing to whatever music was on. I see HB7 get into it a little, so I pull her body next to mine and we are now dancing together. We spend a good 10 minutes dancing like 2 white people, but it was intimate none the less. I then lead her to a booth along the wall where 2 spaces had opened up.

The open booth seats were next to the wall, with a HB4 blonde girl on the other side. I sit my HB7 next to the wall and I take position between the two girls. I introduce myself to HB4, who turns out to be American, we talk for 3 or 4 lines before I let HB7 into the conversation. HB7 clearly wanted to be in on whatever we were talking about. I put my arm around her waist to let her know she was not forgotten about. I think that play was against the textbook material, but it felt natural so I went with it.

We talk about whatever, then HB7 and I turn to talk to each other. I later ask HB7 if she thinks HB4 will dance with me if I danced with HB4. HB7 thinks she will so I slide next to HB4 (it was only liek 3 inches) and start shaking my hips ot the music. HB4 likes it and we start "dancing" on the booth together. We are actually having a lot of fun and suddenly I feel HB7 on my other side joining it. I then laugh at HB4, break contact, and focus on HB7 again.

We finish our drinks and move to the next bar. This bar had a wine bar feel to it, but they served whatever. We get drinks and have our own little dance party. HB7 has to use the bathroom and while she is away I make friendly with some HB7 Italian girl who speaks a little English. HB7 comes back to see me talking to the cute Italian girl. I introduce HB7 and the Italian disappears really quick. Whatever.

We drink up and we are out the door again. This time I tell her she has to choose where we go. First place she picks has a line we can't cut, which gives me the opportunity to tease her with "you're bad at this." I can deliver that line pretty well, she laughs and is now determined to find a bar of us to go to.

We pop in to what would be the last bar of the night. I order and she positions herself back against the bar, supports herself with her elbows, and sticks her hips out in front of her. Whether it was intentional or not, she looked inviting so I figured I would help myself. I put myself in front of her and wrap my arm around her back. I think she said something, or maybe I did, I don't know. We started making out. After two or three pulses she starts to get into it, so I pull away slowly, trying to keep hold of her lips as long as I can. I find that makes a great teaser. I grab the drinks and find us two chairs.

We talk, kino, and make out a bit more. It is now time to leave for my hotel. She has had way more to drink than I realize, I guess. I use the bathroom and come back out to her laying on the bed. She rolls over and says she going to be sick. Fuck. I make sure she gets to the bathroom, but she has the wherewithal to take care of herself once she was standing up from the bed. Afterwards she come back to the bedroom and I help her into bed with me. We start making out, but something isn't right so I chill out a bit.

This is the part where I think she started freaking out, but didn't show it yet. We lay there for a minute and she says she has to go. The alcohol is starting to affect me at this point, so I give a quiet "no" protest, roll her over and start kissing her. She was into it, or so I thought, but as soon as I undid the bra the LMR defense walls went up. I got a "No I don't want to do this," which sounded like (was) the words of a girl who just realized she is way too drunk and now had a stranger on top of her trying to get her cloths off.

I stop at this point, taking advantage of drunk chicks isn't really my thing. I figure I'll just let her sleep it off. I think she is way too hammered to get home, and I wouldn't trust her to a Roman cab at 3AM. Besides all this, my drinks are REALLY starting to kick my ass, and I am not interested in anything but laying in my bed.

We lay down together and I pull her next to me. She sits for a minute, but then moves to the edge of the bed and sits up. She says shes leaving, but I didn't expect her to make it to the door. Clearly I did not give this alcoholic HB7 enough credit, because it took her about two seconds to make it from the edge of my bed out the door. I wasn't about to chase after her, bed was too comfortable.

Not sure if she made it home ok.

Any thoughts/suggestions? I have no idea how I would have played that differently to get the F-close. The LMR came out of no where, but I am guessing she had an "about to fuck a stranger" epiphany while puking in my bathroom. Not sure how, if it would have been possible, to bring her back from that. I thought about more kissing & touching before I went to take her clothes off, but she already had "I'm leaving" in her mind before I tried anything in the room.

Comments welcome, I am trying to analyze my performance. not sure how I would have played it differently. Maybe drink less, but there was a line: drink too much, fuck up, don't keep up with her, it looks like I am trying to get her drunk.
