Today was one of those nights where I decided to go out solo. It always feels a little weird initially to go out solo but I said fuck it. You don't learn anything by just sitting at home.

Went out to a bar, started randomly talking to guys and groups there and getting a few drinks. Started hitting a rhythm and went into three sets.

Set 1 was with two pretty cute girls. Conversation was going pretty well push/pull. Suddenly this dude shows up barging in and basically destroying the conversation. I tried to include him as a wingman but it didn't carry well and the two girls left. I end up having a laugh with the guy and tell him hes a bigass cockblock and join his group.

Set 2 lasts for a while. Two pretty cute girls. We open saying we're adopted brothers and the conversation flows with push pull for a while. I wasn't as interested in these two girls so the escalation wasn't there. At the end we bounce and we discuss how it went.

Set 3 is the one that hits me the hardest. I was interested in these two girls. Go up to them and sit down and start talking random shit teasing/escalating. They weren't really buying it and one of their guy friends sits down. He starts including himself in the conversation and I may have talked too much with him. The girls start having their own conversation and it kinda dies out.

Anyway, I still had a great time tonight and I think thats the most important part. It started off with me again thinking it would be weird to go out solo but I learned a lot from interactions and experiences and just had a good time and good laughs.

Few things I learned - - I usually cold read and make assumptions. I try not to ask direct questions but sometimes the assumptions just get a blank response. I think I should drive this a littler harder and believe more in what I am saying. - Escalate everyone. I didn't do this with girls I wasn't super interested in. But I think its important. I should really just be 100% into it regardless and maximize the experience.
