Hey Seddit, this will be my first field report of many.

Firstly, let me preface the night by saying I was going with a group of girls I had known for several years (purely platonic), so I was pretty confident about my social proof when entering a club.

Before we arrived, we all met at the pub, but the vibe was pretty bad and the mood wasn't the best. People were talking in groups of two, and as much as I tried to engage the group in conversation it went unreciprocated. No biggie, this wasn't the main part of my night. This was warmup.

So me and my close friend decided to speak to a few random people in the bar, and ended up speaking to two guys who mentioned they were going to the same club as we were. Cool. We were more focused on the football(soccer) than anything else, but my friend and I were having a decent laugh with the guys we met about it.

We went into the club with those guys, instead of the girls (I had no money for a taxi and us guys used the bus). Here's the thing...I don't dance. I think this is my biggest problem, and instead of working on it, I decided to game outside in the smoking area of the club.

This is, I think at least, why tonight was such a failure. It started off ok, we would go up to people with weird openers such as 'Who would win in a fight between a bear or a gorilla' and so forth. These were met quite well, and always seemed to create a good vibe and conversation. We got bored and ended up doing dares. My friend dared me to ask a certain girl if her 'plastic surgery cost much'. I did, and she laughed. She said 'If you weren't so good looking you wouldn't have gotten away with that'.

Boom. I was in?

Anyway, we struck up conversation and I hooked into what she was saying. Two good looking guys came over and started talking to her, and I turned my back on her to leave after she stopped talking for a few minutes. She grabbed my arm and mouthed 'don't leave'. The guys got the hint and left, and she started talking about how she was single and having fun...

This is where I was stupid. I was picking up IOIs all over the place, but I didn't go in for a kiss. I don't know why, I just didn't have the balls all of a sudden. Not usually like me. This girl was only HB7, I've k-closed better.

Okay, bit of a fail there, but I lead her into the dance floor (not my territory at all), and just 'dad dance'. Lol. She starts grinding me and these two guys, which just rockets me out of my comfort zone. Wtf was I meant to do. I know I should have just went along with it ( I'm still facepalming about it now), but instead I said 'I'm going back outside, catch you later [name].'

Anyway, whilst she was inside, I met up with my wing (who had dragged another of her friends away for me) and told him about my failure. We decided, oh well, fuck it. We spot this HB 9 with a HB6 talking between themselves outside. We approach from infront and ask them the question about the bear and the gorilla. I had good posture, a smile and she said bear. I teased her about how I thought she was wrong and we opened conversation. After hooking and kino I had my arm around her back and she playfully asked what I did. I told her I was a full-time wizard.

She and her friend didn't believe me so I said I would prove it. 'Guess a number between 1 and 10, and whisper it to your friend'.

'Now look me in the eye. You were thinking of 7.'

I got it right, and they were impressed. Do more, they said. I said I wouldn't, and smiled. I told them that although I wasn't a performing monkey, I would do her a favour and read her palm, but only briefly.

I used the shoe trick. Guys, this is hilarious if you haven't done it. Look at the girls shoes. If she's wearing heels, then she prefers style over comfort, and 'her friends think she is crazy'.

They were both mega impressed. They kept asking I continue, but I told them that if I did the good and bad things wouldn't happen. We chatted for a bit more and she said that if I didn't tell her the future, she would go inside. 'Ok', I said. She laughed and chatted a bit more. All the while I was trying to build rapport and escalate kino (The kino was working and she was reciprocating), but then she repeated the demand.

Again, I said no, and she said she actually really had to go back inside. I told her to kiss me on the cheek, and she did. I then said 'Wait, is that all I'm getting' with a smirk. She laughed and said yes.

I think my problem here was that I completely ignored her friend, making me seem dependent on the HB9. I also didn't display any value (but how could I aside from my 'magic').

Then the girl from earlier came back out. I got the sense that she was using me for attention by this point, and after a quick chat about our enthusiasm for History (weird?), I said she should give me her number. She did, and I got #-close, but I was still pretty dissapointed. Still didn't go in for the kiss. Not sure why.

So we spoke around, and made a few friends but aside from a guy (He was pretty cool) I got no other numbers.

I think I know where I went wrong. I need to learn to dance and apply my game there, but not sure where I went wrong with HB9.
