Hey seddit.

I'm very new to all of this. Last night I went out to a concert with a large group of friends. Seduction was in the back of my mind, but I was there to see the artist, not to hit on girls. I kept everything that I've been learning in mind but decided I would only jump on an opportunity if it really presented itself.

On the way to the show, I'm a bit tired so we swing by a 7-11 and I down one of those 5 hour energy shots since the show goes until 3AM. The mood is high as we cruise downtown playing some disco and funky house music. Things look like they're going to be a blast no matter what.

We arrive and the place is still fairly empty. I order a gin & tonic and go stand around the outside of the dance area for a while with my friends shooting the shit. We all take a bit to get "warmed up", but within an hour we're all dancing and having a good time. I finish gin & tonic number 4 and we all move to the dance floor in a big group. None of us give a fuck as we jump around dancing like fools. Everyone has a huge smile on their face and it was obvious that our great mood was rubbing off on others. One girl in our group told me earlier to keep any guys from hitting on her. I see a guy awkwardly walk up to her and ask her "Didn't I see you in the newspaper?". The whole approach was quite poorly executed and she looks uncomfortable. I grab her hand and pull her into me and she hugs me, and the guy walks off. We all go back to dancing and I see a group of 4 girls , 2 HB9s, HB8 and HB7, looking at our group. I ignore them and wait for a better IOI. Blonde HB9, let's call her Nora, and her HB9 friend, let's call her Laura, walk by our group. Nora gives me a very strong IOI with eye contact and I decide this is the best time to approach. My friend sees me about to approach her and pulls a great wingman technique. Loudly so she can hear, he goes "Nah dude, don't bother. She's underage!". I look at him and look back at her, and she has such a shocked look on her face. I smile at her and she starts shaking her head in a "No that's not true!" way. It's 100% obvious that she wants me to approach her now, and I discreetly thank my friend for a job well done.

We're on the dance floor and I approach Nora. She is by far the hottest girl I have ever approached ever in my entire life. I walk up to her, "So I really wanted to talk to you, but now I'm not so sure if I should!" in a teasing way. The music is loud so she leans in and puts her hand on my hip to talk to me and informs me that she's 20 (I'm 21). Kino escalates incredibly fast due to us dancing together, and somehow what I "wanted" came up. If this is unclear I apologize, but my memory is a bit hazy on this. I pulled her in close and said "what if I want you?" in her ear. I instantly wondered if it was too soon being that 3 minutes hadn't even passed now, but she goes "Let's talk and we'll see". We continue dancing and she begins to be a bit standoffish. Her HB9 friend Laura is long gone by now, and her HB7 friend comes up and joins our little dance circle. I remember reading about talking to the less attractive friend and ignoring your "target" as a strategy. I start ignoring Nora and talk to HB7. Nora walks away and it's driving her crazy. I pull HB7 in close when she attempts to go with her and say "Hey I still want to talk to you!". I grab her hand and pull her back and she smiles and apologizes for leaving. I talk to her for about 3 minutes and then return to my group and wait. About 15 minutes go by and I am still dancing having a great time. I see Nora and Laura start approaching our group again out of the corner of my eye so I put my back to them. Nora grabs me by the hand and pulls me away from my group and we dance some more. We talk a lot more and get some rapport out of the way. Dancing continues and I see my friend from before being hit on again. "One second, I need to go do something", I say to Nora, and I walk off.

In plain sight, I grab my friend by the hand again and pull her in close to me, and the guy hitting on her bails. Nora sees this and I'm pretty sure it drives her crazy. The second I let go of my friend she grabs me by the hand and pulls me back. Nora and I continue dancing and she starts placing emotional value into us. "I feel really comfortable around you", she says. I remember the use of "we" in sentences and I figure now is a good time to use it. "We make an awesome dance duo", I say. She lights up with a smile and we continue to dance.

"Want to see something cool!?" Nora asks me. I say yes and she leads me over to the speakers. The music is quite bass heavy and she puts her back up against the tower speaker. I put my hands on her hips and k-close right there. It was a quick kiss but it went well. I then put my back up against the speaker and we then danced some more. Kino is consistently very high the entire time.

We have been dancing for around 2 hours now and I'm thirsty. I ask Nora if she wants to go get some water and she agrees. This is a great opportunity to get her away from the music so we can talk without yelling. She goes to the bathroom and I order 2 waters. We continue talking and she keeps telling me that I'm cute, and that I'm easy to talk to. Her friends show up and all agree with what she's saying and approve of me. I # close at the bar and she tells me that she really wants to meet up again. Some guy then walks up named "Bob". He begins to try and make me look bad by making fun of my shirt because it's a v-neck (really?). I keep smiling and make fun of my shirt along with him and show some humility. I engage him in conversation that's fast paced so that he can't talk to Nora or her friends much, and he eventually walks off. Nora and I kiss some more as I finish my water and we start heading back to the dance floor, which is where I encounter my first shit test ever (I think). I notice that Nora isn't carrying her bottle of water that I bought her, and I knew she didn't finish it. I look back and see it sitting on the bar. "Hey, do you want your water? You barely had any" I ask her. She runs back to get it and says in my ear "Good, you passed" and then kisses me on the cheek.

We go back to the dance floor and continue to dance. She is most definitely the hottest girl at the venue along with her friend Laura, and I felt like I was fighting off guys left and right after we got water. A guy would come up and begin to make the motions to start dancing with her, but I instantly would pull her into me and would engage her in dancing where us joining hands was involved, smiling the whole time. I did this with maybe 4 guys who tried to dance with her and it worked well, with all of them walking off. We keep kissing and dancing until the show ends. Nora invites me out to some post-bar hopping, but it's 3AM and I have things to do tomorrow. I say thanks but no thanks, and kiss her goodbye. "Text me" she says in my ear just before I walk away in a sexy voice, which I suppose is a good thing.

Even though this is my 2nd real attempt, I think things went very well. I learned about jealousy by talking to Nora's HB7 friend, shit tests with the water which I just passed by being myself, how to deal with other guys, the importance of radiating a good mood, not giving a damn, and overall just having a good time no matter what. I was not out to get with Nora, and I would have had a blast no matter what. When I was with Nora, it was not awkward at all. I just focused on having a great time, and we both most definitely did. I wasn't super worried about my "next move", my main goal was to have fun and provide Nora with a great/similar experience. Furthermore, I saw a lot of other guys approaching both Nora and my friend with very artificial, indirect, and just plain bad openers, which taught me a bit about the possible importance of "being yourself". It was a great night, I'm going to text her in a day or two and try to set up a follow up date. She is the hottest girl I have ever been with in my entire life. Thank you so much for everything seddit!

Since this is my 2nd FR, critique and advice is always appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I deleted my first FR because I'm not super comfortable posting here, hence the throwaway. It involved me approaching an HB8 on a train on the way to NYC, # closing, meeting up with her later, and K-closing (in case anyone was curious about FR #1...)
