Tl;dr - Did night game with my close mate, I initiated most approaches and had about four sets, most with more than one girl. Didn't close anything but improved from last time and gained more improvements. Also learnt getting rejected is funny as fuck. Why? Read on ;)

The sole purpose of going out this night was I had enough of staying at home and reading all the PU stuff w/o doing anything. So I pretty much convinced both my close mates to come out and before I headed out I put down four improvements/tips on my phone’s lock screen (using Owners Info setting) to incorporate this night; these were strong eye contact, ask myself ‘Is it epic yet?’ during the night, open the first set ASAP & talk loudly when speaking to people. This was awesome because I only had four things to focus on therefore it wasn’t to pressurising to do game.

We all met up at the first venue, I had a pint of lager and that was all I drank that night. We talked and caught up on life which was chill. Then after an hour or so we decided to change venues. It was a lot busier and we bumped into many mates from sixth whom we haven’t seen in over three years. Then one of my mates had to leave at 10:30pm. He left and it was just me and the remaining mate who is single and likes to approach every now and then.

Set One

It was time to game; I saw these two blonde girls to our right (my mate and I were sat at a table at this point). Not going to lie I was second guessing approaching them because there were two of them. I thought fuck it, leaned over to my mate and say to him ‘Watch me get rejected’. I stood up, walked over and while smiling I opened with a pretty neat simple question “Are you ladies from *** Uni?” (This uni is the closest to town we are in). They were a bit stifled by my random approach, I applied some statement of empathy by saying “I know this is a bit weird but I thought I’d come over and say hi as I want to meet new people”. They bought it and opened up instantly, I was in. The girl to my right (G1) was answering and initialising the set, and the girl to the left (G2) who I found slightly more attractive was slightly signalling she wanted in on this conversation because she started slowly moving in closer to be part of it, as well as looking at me to ask her the same question I asked G1. I noticed this (probs not as social or dominant as G1) and obviously started to get her involved. We talked about where we’re from, what we do/study, etc.

Since I had my phone on the table I would glance every now and then at the lock screen to see the four points I noted down and began to incorporate this. Eye contact was on point throughout the set, I tried looking for more IOI’s such as leaning closer, and playing with hair, etc but none was given. Maybe there were others that I was not aware of. But the biggest IOI was they were still there with me which is a big plus. I thought of RSDMax’s ways and began cold reading: this included their age (spike her emotions a bit), saying they both look like they’ve known for a very long time, etc. At this point I was so into the set I completely forgot about my mate I came out with. The don himself came over and introduced himself to the girls. At first they’re reactions were a bit like “who are you”. I saw this and instantly was like “Aah yes XXXX! Ladies this is my good friend from Uni blahblah” and he was in. We talked more, around 30 mins altogether. Now comes another thing I need to add to my game: see their availability. It was pretty loud in the venue and we sat on the table which was pretty big. I did not want to keep leaning in to hear what they said so some details I didn’t manage to get. However my mate managed to hear G2 mention her boyfriend and I thought I heard G1 mention hers as well. I knew it was time to exit but I wasn’t sure if G1 was single. I should’ve number closed but I pussied out. Need to work on number closing. Then we said our goodbyes and headed off.

En-Route to Venue

We walk to the final venue of the night of which I am not a big fan of but I was already in a good mood and high spirit. On the way there we this huge group of girls (about 20) all in Xmas fancy dress who start walking on the same path towards us (in the opposite direction as us). As we walked I casually asked the first few girls “On a work do ladies?” Got a response from one girl like “Nah it’s a friend do babes” haha. Purely opened for fun, didn’t want anything from it. We joined the queue and I literally opened the first person I saw. They were all men but I need to socialise and grow my social circle for the night. I opened all five of the guys and talked about a shit load of stuff. One of the guys looked exactly like my mate from Uni; he was a great guy and we would bump into him later in the club.

Final Venue

So we go in and start dancing, I get a feel for the venue and I just soak it all up, while keeping the four improvements in my head. At this point my AA came back up again and I did hesitate many many times when I saw a girl I liked. The first girl I opened literally turn to this girl dancing with her friend, put my hand out and say “Dance with me.” She was a bit like “Whaattt is happeninggg...” but she went for my hand anyway. I merely did it to see if it would work. I grabbed her only free hand and tried dancing but the other hand was grasped tightly by her friend’s hand. I could’ve somehow worked with that/escalated but I didn’t know how to just yet so I¬ ditched her and relocated in the venue.

We then move to a group of like 6 girls in a circle, I again put both my arms on two of the closest girls' hips with their backs to me and loudly say to them “Mind if I join dancing with you?” It was very loud in there and I’m sure the girl was said “sorry no”. I literally laughed out loud, turned round and say to the nearest guy “Did you just see me getting rejected?! I suck!!” while laughing because I did actually find it very funny.

Straight after another girl with her back to me accidentally bumps into me and I happened to have my hands near her hips. I just playfully grab her and dance with her, she perfectly responds by grinding back into me. But then her female friend notices this, looks at me, looks at her friend grinding on me, leans in and says something in her ear then literally drags her away from me. I saw this whole thing happen and when I realised what happened, my god I was laughing so hard. Just the expression on her friend’s face was pure gold, so again I started clapping and was hoping my mate I was with noticed that so that I could talk about it later on how funny that shit was. Not sure if he caught it or not, but I bump in to him again. As the girls walk away I shout "Call me!" My mate and I then both go out to smoking area to get some fresh air.

Smoking Area

As soon as I walk into this area I see these two girls on their own smoking, they weren’t that attractive but I wanted to try some self-amusement. I walk straight up to them and say the first that comes to my mind: “Do you have a cigarette I can smoke?” (I don’t even smoke but it is a good way to open. If she did say yes I would’ve said something like ‘Aha I’m only joking I don’t smoke I wanted to come talk to you; it’s much less boring than saying hello’). They both nod theirs heads no and one of them says “Sorry we don’t”. I then take a second and reply “Is it because I’m short?” with a grin on my face (I am quite short, around 5’6”) merely because I wanted to see their reactions. They took it seriously and she replied “No I honestly don’t have any cigarettes left!” This reply with her serious face of having possibly offended my (because of me jokily accusing her of my height) made me blurt out laughing, I couldn’t re-calibrate, said “I am just joking, it’s all fun have a great night!” and just left them and returned to my mate and a few others I met in the queue. It was around 1:15am I was getting really knackered. My momentum was wearing off and I didn’t have the motivation to approach anymore. I just accepted that, because I approached more than I ever have on any other night outs so. We go back in to dance, and I remembered RSDMax saying something like “towards the end of the night just say to yourself ‘One more.’” It did work to be honest, near the entrance I see this cute blonde girl walking past and slightly lingering (presumed waiting for her friends) I instantly dive in and ask for her name. Straight away she says “I got to go I’m waiting for my friend” grabs her friend and walks off. I turn round to my mate laughing and say “Hahaha did you see that shit?!” Then we called it a night and caught a taxi home.

Conclusion

All in all it was a dope night out, my AA seems to be diminishing but it comes back round later in the night especially when I get tired (more inclined to stay in comfort zone hence talk myself out of approaching girls). Many improvements from previous night outs were applied, but doing more in sets showed up more improvements I need to make in order to escalate. This is good signs of progress being made.

Improvements/notes that I concluded from this night:

  • Try to start number closing
  • You got blocked by the friends of girl you were approaching; try opening the friends first, then pay more attention to girl of interest
  • Use the 3 second approach rule next time when your game is lacking
  • Try to approach as much as possible early on in the night to build more momentum
  • Always re-calibrate for any opener or statements you say to a girl
  • Work on getting to approach as often as possible
  • Cold read more
  • Statement of empathy rocks. Use it in junction with cold approaches

If you made it this far I thank you for your time; any feedback is highly appreciated! Thank you :)
