Hey guys, just want to rant a little. So I was out partying with my college, today was the last day of finals so everyone was having a good time. I'm a novice on this reddit so I decided to put what I learned here to good use (or try to).

 

The nights going good, had predrinks with some friends, got drunk, went to the bar. Got there chilled with some guys, talked to some girls (friends) and was having a good time. I start off quiet and not in a very talkative mood, I get some more drinks in me and I start talking with some friends and loosen up and start talking to girls I don't really know and meet new people and make new friends.

 

Theres a girl in my college who I think is cute, shes a year older than me. I've never been able to talk to her before, no natural way for me to approach, and never saw her at a club or bar before either, only time I've seen her is when I'm studying and shes somewhere else in the library. I don't know her, and she doesn't know me.

 

So one of my friends at the bar hits me up and some other peeps and is like, hey we gonna go out and smoke a joint, u down? Im like fuck ya im down! So he walks around finds more people, I'm super drunk so I'm following him and I turn around for a second (can't even remember why) and when I turn around again my friend is gone (he was actually really close I just couldn't see him). I keep walking and I trip over the cute girl, and so here I'm like awwweh fuck yea, I can open this shit. I turn to her and was like "hey u tryna trip me?" I'm smiling, she's smiling. She says something back, (we're in the Law college) so I'm like I'll sue you, I'm learning law now! She has a big smile, replies "im a year ahead, so I'll win". I laugh and was like "haha fuck your right". I now for some dumb stupid fucking reason turn and leave to smoke the joint. I didn't say I'd be back, nothing I just turned around and left. I didn't even introduce myself. And ofcourse when I come back (baked) she's talking with other guys and I totally forget about our entire interaction.

 

Honestly, I didn't remember this interaction I had with her until I slowly sobered up and looked back at the night and I was like, fuck! I opened so well, I couldve built comfort, but I just dipped real quick and fucked myself over. I noticed her big smile and solid eye contact and see those as IOI's (but ofcourse this is all in hindsight), but with the abundance mentality and inner game I've been working on I would've just assumed she liked me, cuz who doesn't like me? I'm fucking awesome.

Anyways, I'm gonna blame my shitty decisions on being drunk, and wanting to get baked, and then afterwards being baked. I'm new to gaming, and I've been putting in work on my inner game, and I feel like I'm slowly seeing progress. My takeaway from here is next time I'm going to drink to put myself in a social mood, but not drink so much that I am completely hammered (i was very drunk, like I could talk and act normally, but I couldn't walk straight). Pretty sure she didn't even trip me but I tripped myself cuz I couldn't walk straight.

TLDR: I opened great, was really drunk, left without introducing myself or building any comfort, forgot about her and the entire interaction, and am pissed off at myself, however it's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

EDIT: just want to say that I mainly typed all this out because it was just bothering me and I wanted to rant. I always feel better when I write out my experiences on here and just add to this subreddit, while also potentially getting good feedback from the community, and somebody might read it and learn something. I'm going to start writing in a journal. :) If you guys like these kind of posts let me know, otherwise this is going to be the last one from me for quite a while.
