Wonderful afternoon here in Munich! I thought I should post my experience from last night to serve as some sort of encouragement to other people here.

I was invited by a friend to a party at his place and once I arrived there I met about 7-10 girls and some guys. Perhaps you may recall I posted before about how I messed up at a club with a girl who finally had passionate kisses with my friend. I didn't want that to happen so I immediately braced myself up and said in my mind: "just have fun". I started chatting with everyone and there was one particular girl that seemed very friendly to me so in no time, I began to touch her playfully. She was with her friend so I tried to talk to them both and I noticed that as new guys were arriving it was becoming like a competition for all the girls. I stepped out and made friends with some of the guys for two reasons:

1) I genuinely wanted to meet new people 2) I wanted it to be easy for me to introduce myself to a new girl if another guy was talking with her(since I already know him)

This worked for me and I realized that the guys were even the ones introducing me to the girls.

I then approached two girls that were alone, made them laugh and hold them on the waist. One of them who was 32 seemed interested in me but didn't let me go fully.

Eventually the music started and even though I am not a good dancer I ensured I showed up on tje dance floor and moved happily to the music. Then some girl came to dance with me and I quickly established physical comfort with her and we made out, but nothing more! I asked another girl to dance but she insisted that we couldn't hold hands since she had a boyfriend, and then she advised me to go to parties where the people were much younger (truly everyone there was older than me since they are my friend's friends and my friend is 29 while I am 22).

Overall it was a great night. I quickly filtered thru those girls that were not really into me and I spent energy on the ones that were into me.

Before I left, the first girl that was really friendly with me came to hug me goodnight when the others had gone to sleep and as I was about to leave the house (5:30am this morning) we met around the door and she leaned in for another hug. In my mind, I felt I should have tried to kiss her there but I am not so sure. Maybe someone can advice on this.

However I am really happy with myself that I followed my mind and made myself vulnerable for the first time. I hope I do better next time.

So that's it!
