Hi seddit! I went out last night, lone wolf style, which is not uncommon. I live alone, and know most people in my little music scene, a bunch of bartenders, doormen, musicians, etc, etc.

So I hit a music venue, drink two pints, hear some live schlop, meet the new bartender, bounce. Go to a pub where a pal of mine works, 'nother couple drinks, shoot the shit, bounce.

Then to a dive where I asked an HB8.5 out a few days ago. She took my number the other night, haven't heard from her, no biggie. But in conversation last night, she gave some indication that she possibly didn't remember seeing me on the other night, when I gave her my #. This bugged me as I thought about it, though otherwise we had some fun conversation. So I felt the need to follow up. Pulled her aside before bouncing again (it was after last call) to ask if she remembered that. She says, "Oh yeah, I remember". I say, "cool". And that was that.

Question 1: Was it a good idea to do this follow up? It went exactly as described above, so there wasn't a great deal of awkwardness/neediness to it...I think. Your thoughts are welcome.

Then to an after hours restaurant. I'm outside having a cig when HB5, HB9 and HB10's male cousin come past me, and 10 asks me if there's booze there. I say, "Naw, missed last call", and they go in anyway. She invites me to their table, to which I agree she's being really friendly, flirty, etc. No question at all that she's diggin' on me. So they go in while I finish my smoke, but come out again a moment later. Apparently plans have changed, and they're heading....

But this girl is doing ALL THE WORK. Kino, eye contact, conversation, flirting in general, and I did not go looking for this. At one point, she mentioned "Protective cousin", who had been silent so far, but was clearly young, and without great social skills (i.e. Was not doing a respectable job of AMOGing me, if that was his intent). I took it as a shit test from her, and was not in the mood to game a girl who was testing me at 2:30 in the morning and not even going to stick around.

So I made a point of addressing the group (particularly "protective cousin", and by that very name) more than just her. But my meal was coming up, and I didn't appreciate being cold approached and then directly shit-tested, so I gave her a half spin, and a gentle push away on the back when she was halfway around, then walked away before she could turn around*. I went in, they did not.

Question 2: Was it a honey badger move to give no fucks like that, or am I a moron? I feel it was an easy number close that I should've gotten. But I still feel kinda cool to blow off an HB who is clearly into me, at least, for what I consider to be a good reason. Your thoughts, please.

*This push move does work in a bar where you're both hanging out. She'll come back for more, especially if you shoot her sly grin as you walk away. Last night however, I think it probably came off as pretty rude, given that I was going in and they were leaving.

tldr; Gave that bitch my number. Bitches love numbers. May have messed it up with a beta follow up. Gave that other bitch a spin. Bitches love spins, especially when you leave them halfway through, but probably not this time.
