Hello guys,

This is my first time posting here.

I'll just drop some of the few interactions I had this previous Thursday and maybe you can critique my game and tell me what I did or didn't do.

On Thursday night, I went out alone. I visited an open space bar, which had a lot of people. I realized that I was seated alone at my table, so I tried to talk to some of the guys who were around me to calibrate some social proof.

I hate sitting alone in a venue without sparking some conversation with people who are around me.

After an hour, I opened a set of 2 girls. One girl was talking to a guy, and the other girl seemed kinda bored. So I opened the set by sitting on the empty seat that was next to the bored girl.

She told me that they were waiting for someone to join them in a couple of minutes.

Told the girls "I'm about to leave the venue, just waiting for my bill" so they wouldn't be overprotective about the seat. After that, their guard was lowered. I sparked a conversation with the girl who I was seated next to. She was drinking wine, so I asked her which brand of wine she was taking.

Noticed that she was on the phone as if she was anticipating someone. I totally ignored that and asked her if she comes to the bar quite often, and we talked about some of the venues that were nearby.

She mentioned that nearby venues have younger folks, and I teased her saying that she looked young. We tried to guess the age of each other, which was kinda playful.

After a few minutes, her female friend finished talking to the guy who was hitting on her. She turned to me and said that they were having a private conversation. Didn't really feel like disarming her, so I just told her I was about to leave.

I went to another bar, sat at a table, and sparked a conversation, with those who were around me. I don't like moving around in a venue so much. A few minutes later, two women in their mid-thirties, joined me, and I sparked a conversation with both of them. One was a 4 and the other was a 6. The interaction went well, but I wasn't really attracted to them, so I went to the counter and ordered some shots.

Found an 8 on the counter, as she was taking some tequila shots. I teased her and mentioned that she was tough since she didn't take any chasers, and she laughed. Her friends joined her, and I ordered my shots later on.
