I'm setting a goal of 100 nights of cold approaches. Approach means I start even a conversation with at least a few words exchanged. My goal for the number of approaches is about 50 in a single night. Barring any lost time due to my own actual relationships, I should be able to easily do this.

TLDR: I went to a karaoke bar to start approaching girls. Unfortunately, all the girls had brought their boyfriends. So, I decided to say screw it, I'm going up there to rap. Then I sat in my seat for awhile, waited until the machine was set up. I occupied my time by finding out about the bar and bartender (who happened to be really cute and graduating from college soon). I don't count that as an approach because she is supposed to be friendly as part of her job. I did a lot of skilled rapping (did not know I could rap until tonight). The guys were high fiving me and so were the girls. It was awesome. I had 5 or 6 girls sing with me at the same time for several songs. I didn't know any of them. Before the night was over. I made sure I shook the hands of all the boyfriends and waved goodbye to all the ladies as they were all taken. I had introduced myself to 6 girls tonight on the stage floor.

Karaoke Night is a Good Night: So, I made a plan to go to a karaoke bar. I get there and decide to walk around the block... I was thinking what is going on. Then I decide I should practice some rap songs in my car... Still sitting there wondering if I should go in. Finally, I get the balls to walk in after practicing and this process took me about 1 hour.

Then I sat in the bar for about 15 minutes. It was almost dead empty. There were 6 people at the time and karaoke machine was not set up yet. I saw two girls there but I also saw two guys next to them. Next to them, there was a couple. I really did not feel like disturbing them yet so I did not push myself to talk to them. I began talking to the bar tender to find out about the bar and her school plans etc. I found her to be really cute, but I knew that would be too easy to count her as an approach. About 15 minutes later, I finally stopped talking to the bar tender and played on my phone for a bit.

About 30 minutes past, and finally a group of about 8 girls and 10 guys walk in. Six of the girls start singing songs right away. I put myself on the list for the next song. I stood behind the group and realized they were having trouble. I let them tough it out. None of them paid me any attention (not even a passing glance). Almost no value was coming from me yet. My song came on. I picked up the mic and began rapping. None of the girls were looking at me yet. Suddenly, the girls were dancing to it. I was rapping like a madman. Me and the group of girls alternated songs for a bit. I even got to dance with one of them. I had all of their attention. I helped them with all the rap songs. 6 of the girls began talking to me, and giving me high fives and saying I'm really good. One of the six was so into a song that she danced with me and looked right into my eyes. Even the group of guys went up with me for awhile. This went on for about two hours. (Forgotten Detail) The girl who danced with me makes a lot more sense now. She had told me to do a duet with her at the end. That is when I danced with her the longest. She told me to make it the last song too. However, another girl also asked me to do a song about Philly after that... also a duet and this became my last song. Later, the dance girl would give me the bitch face because she was jealous. (End of Forgotten Detail)

The end of night came quick. I realized what I had done and promptly made sure to talk to these new acquaintances. I didn't get any conversations started for long but they obliged when I said hi and bye and gave me high fives before I left and talked about my awesome raps. I asked for the name of the dancing girl, but she turned away and gave me a bitch face with her name. No big deal. I had approached a group of 6 girls tonight and provided value to them that they could not resist.

To Improve: I need to do more approaches. I had a great deal of resistance to everything before walking straight in it. I should stop caring what people think and start talking. I need to focus on one girl and make her feel special.

Things I did well: I was able to bring a whole bar up in state. I rap. I had provided value that they wanted.

Summary: Trying to find yourself and meeting women is an honorable pursuit.
