First off let me say that for all of you out there that are like me that keep reading and reading, STOP. Learning is great and all but nothing beats REAL. LIFE. EXPERIENCE. It's the only way to "learn" and apply everything that you have read.

On to the approach.

I'm with my friends at a bar last night and behind them are a HB 6, 7, 7, and 9. I clearly am interest in talking to the 9. I've also never approached a 4 set before. So I'm standing with my friends thinking of how hot this 9 is and I can't get myself to move. Just as so many times in the past I feel the window of opportunity shrinking away as I do nothing other than look on.

For whatever reason (and my god did it feel exhilarating) I got that FUCK IT moment in me. You know that moment? You can almost precisely pinpoint when you just say screw it, I'm so tired of never knowing what if... so I walk up to the group. I try to approach them all from the front, but since they are in a square formation I have to wedge myself between the 7 and 6, insuring that I'm facing the 9 as I walk in.

I do my best not to show that Im shitting my pants, put on a smile and get out "So the party seems to be over here." Honestly after this I kind of blackout. It's kind of funny because I really don't remember words that were exchanged. But the point is that I did it. I'm challenging myself in ways that I have always wanted to. The conversation carries on for 5 minutes or so and I feel myself running out of things to say. I want to # close the 9 but I start to freeze as I panic not knowing how to # close just one of them. (Effectively telling the rest of the women that I'm not interested in them)

I end with "Hey I need to go and meet up with my friends" and that was that.

Part of me is dissapointed that I didn't keep escalating. Part of me is ecstatic that I approached a 9 AND a 4 set. Something that years ago I would never have dreamt of doing.

So I ask you /r/seduction What could I have done better to kept things "going"? Try and isolate the 9? Is yawning a sign that she wasn't interested in me?

I want to keep getting better at this. I want to keep talking to more women... women that I find attractive.

Finally thank you everyone here for getting me to even this point is an achievement. I've hooked up with a good bit of women in the past... but this.. this was different. I don't know how to describe it. This is what I want.
