This just happened today, this Christmas’s eve. My current time zone makes it night here.

I hanged out with a friend I’ve had some little IOIs from. I chose a snazzy bar with a little crowd so I was able to create tension and escalate. We finished and I dropped her home. I was bored when I returned home and decided to visit a next door bar to have a few beers before I hit home.

I was at the lounge when I saw a group of 3 HB7 friends. The third who was interested in is a HB8. They were smoking some weed and I decided to break into their cycle by asking to for a few puffs. We were all together sharing a smoke till it ended. Then I tried creating a engaging them by indulging in simple conversation. HB7s didn’t seem so interested and my bait, HB8 was quite interested in me. I caught her glimpsing at me a few times.

10 mins after this, is starts to get a little awkward as one HB7 says something about using the restroom and leaves. 10 mins later she isn’t back then i tried to leave by pretending to make a call. I’m less than a minute in pretending to be making a fake call when I turn around to discover that the other two girls have left.

Apparently, they were trying to get away from me without telling or perhaps I was creeping them out.

Any lessons of what I could have done better - for the future?
