So, some of you may be seeing my post and thinking "oh shit, it's that socially retarded guy posting again."

And for those of you who are unsure, a quick look at my post history will show that I indeed have been struggling to re-evaluate/invent myself in a social context ever since I've began trying to internalize TRP.

The last time I posted an FR about my social interaction it ended pretty horribly, but it was with a circle of people that I rarely see anyways.

However, the last 8 weeks was a long, time intensive thing for grad school for me. Yesterday was the end of that, and of course, my classmates were celebrating. During this 8 weeks, I entered a kind of monk mode, focusing on the gym and my studies, and people were commenting all day on my gains (doesn't help that literally the night before I had hit the gym and got a CRAZY arm day in -> residual pump is real)

Day started off with a group of 9 of us getting drinks and lunch after being officially dismissed around 11 am.

What happened at the lunch is kind of irrelevant, but it resulted in me getting invited to a get together later that night. However, at that lunch is one girl, HB7/8 who's been showing IOI's for a while, and I kept that going with some joking and breaking rapport with her to speak to the group back n forth (she chose to come sit next to me). There was a bit of our legs rubbing under the table. I know it's not much, but I just like to be aware of this.

Later that night, I show up to the gathering, I bring some good booze (pay an extra 10 bucks to not look cheap, well worth it). Drinking games and socializing ensued. This time I was very careful to stick to beer and not get lit.

One of the things I was told last time was that I should just observe the room, feel things out before making any moves.

At one point, I was in a 3 way conversation with 2 other male classmates, and I checked my snapchat, and was 'surprised' to see a nude, let them gawk at it (they're both in committed LTR's) and that changed the subject to a field I'm better versed in than they are: sluts. This may have been my shining moment in the night, because I talked to these guys about how I would much rather have an LTR than to chase after some hoe bla bla. One guy even admitted to me the identity of a married classmate who he banged (and thereby cheated on his fiancé). See laws of power: reveal something you don't truly care about, and also talk as hose around you, but think differently.

As the night went on, one of my colleagues (HB7/8) was giving me a LOT of kino. I mean long hug, arm around my back, at one point (b/c of the game) she had her arms on my shoulders. I noticed her feel my arms multiple times. I gave her a bit of hand in the lower back, stroking it, and then I'd pull away etc.

The funny thing is, and the main reason I'm making this FR, is that this girl has a boyfriend (also in our class). But she showed up without him, and made no mention of him. And when she and I were talking about a skin care product, I told her she has to text it to me so I don't forget, and immediately grab her phone to put my number in her phone, I see it was open to a text conversation with an upper classmen who was NOT her boyfriend, and I see she sent him a selfie that she had taken earlier that night.

I know this particular fella. And I know that he's a natural alpha. And that's when I was hit with the reminder of AWALT. This girl was lookin to branch swing. The upper classmen is one option, and now she was taking me in as another one (we made plans to be workout buddies). And she reaffirmed our commitment MULTIPLE times.

She went around the gathering each time saying "me and weirdquestions92 are gonna be workout buddies I'm Sooo excited" and each time I simply mirrored it saying yeah I'm excited it's gonna be awesome.

After this, she and I were seated and she was talking on and on to me about her career path and how passionate she is, I literally hardly got any words in edgewise. But after about 15 minutes, I decided to leave the party and head to my booty call (some people had left, but there were still more than 60% of the invited guests still there).

My one fuckup was After my booty call, I texted one of the 2 guys that 'bitches are crazy, doesn't matter had sex'

I don't think it would affect his opinion of me, BUT I am a bit uncertain as to whether I should have done that.

As a side note, the booty call herself is a crazy bitch who I don't think I'll be seeing again.

So this FR is partly for me to write up these thoughts and events so I can come back to it, but as always, I'm waiting for you brutally honest fellas to critique me cause I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement.

Also, both of these girls are LTR material in my opinion, or at least top plate status. This is due to a variety of factors, one of them chiefly being that my grad school is time intensive, so a classmate would be the best option. Before you hit me with the don't shit where you eat metaphor, know that I've already banged 3 other girls in my class of 180.

Couple questions:

1) the girl from the lunch is single, so my plan is to ask her out Monday, and keep the girl from the party as a friend for dread purposes and potentially convert her to a plate later in the future, advice or what do you guys think?

2) how big a fuckup was my text at the end?

3) should I have left the party so soon, or should I have stayed? This is a social circle that I want to be a regular member of, so I don't wanna let my desire to be in it show too hard

4) kind of a follow up to #3, how do you propose I get closer to the party host (a female who is essentially the group leader, she's ~30 and in a LTR)
