Background: Got divorced a few months ago, been working on improving myself as a person since. Decided last week that I wanted women back in my life so I jumped on Seddit and read a couple things. I know a friend with a little pickup skill and we went out Friday / Saturday. I read The Game years ago so I'm familiar with the PUA lingo but I've never put anything into practice nor do I remember specific methods or lines.

FR: Used only direct openers, "hi" or "hi I think you're cute". Ended up with 2 #-close, about 5 "let me take your # instead" and a few outright rejections in total for the two nights.

Had a good time on the dance floor, got to grind with an HB9 because from my friend's description my body language did all the talking for me. I actually liked the music (this helps) so I was basically just dancing by myself, letting loose even though I can't dance, with a big smile. Saw HB9 glance, started to dance my way off the floor in her direction, packed floor so I put my hand on her lower back (while still grooving / moving away) and when she turned and looked I raised an eyebrow and tried to give a "Wow, I like what I'm seeing" smile, she returned it and we started dancing together. I couldn't work out a way to continue so I enjoyed our few minutes of dancing and bounced. Had no idea how to continue on the floor or move away for a conversation.

One 3-set I met an HB8 (friend's rating) while having a smoke, once I had her attention ("hi, I think you're cute and I wanted to talk to you") I leaned out over the balcony and she turned with me. Friend #2 went back to talking with friend #3, so it seemed that moving myself after I had her attention isolated her by physically shutting out her friend. A group of guys came up to open the group of us. I'm new (completely) to this and didn't know how to jump into the now much larger conversation, so I touched her shoulder and leaned into her ear to say "I need to go catch up with my friends, I'm sure I'll run into with you later."

This was early on in the night. I didn't run into her again until much later as my friend and I were leaving, so I went up and said "Hey X! It's too bad we didn't get to spend any more time together, why don't you put your number into my phone so we can?" She did. Texted the day after, said I wanted to see her again, told her we should grab something to eat, set up a date.

Lessons Learned: After reading The Game years ago I never thought I would be capable of learning or even attempting to learn how to seduce women. In my case, I blasted my ears out with my favorite electro house tracks in the car, got myself into a solid 'don't give a shit' attitude, walked into a club for the first time in years and immediately started approaching women and getting rejected. After a couple complete failures, I was less nervous and actually in a better mood since the rejections were a bit funny.

Turns out I had two of the best nights of my life doing something that was so much easier than I had built it up to be. All I really learned from the few things I read on Seddit last week was the mentality: "Just go out and approach already, what are you waiting for?" I'd like to second that advice, this is fun and surprisingly easy.

Question: #-close HB8 at club, have a date with her, I had mentioned that I'm moving in a few weeks but only in passing. Any advice on how to make my intentions (short, fun fling) clear on a date?
