I've been lurking on this subreddit for a few days but this is the first time I've tried to post, so pardon my poor syntax.

I'm definitely an AFC right now, but I've been reading up on the advice on this subreddit and tonight I said to myself, "fuck it, I'll give this shit a try." So I did. I had a few drinks then walked into the nearest bar. I was determined that if I made eye contact with a girl, I wouldn't be the first to break the connection. Naturally, this immediately forced me into a conversation with a girl. I acted like I was in charge of the situation and steered the conversation the way I wanted it to go. After conversing with this HB7 and her HB8 friend for an hour or so, I invited the two of them back to my house. I pretended that I was completely calm, as if I did this shit all the time. Of course your advice worked, as long as you act like everything's alright, you can make the situation alright and put everyone at ease.

So we came back to my house and smoked some weed. Immediately, all of my supposed 'game' flew out the window. Can any of you professionals perform while high, or is it a lost cause? If you can pull it off, what's the secret?
