So 2012 certainly did not start off with a bang for this guy. I was told to fuck off over 8 times last night, and I really didn't do anything to deserve most of them. I thought new year's was supposed to be like shooting fish in a barrel! Needless to say, I did not have any NYE kiss last night. I went to the bar with a crapload of friends.

Start Opening People

I tried to start talking to random people at the bar (mostly guys to warm up) and I wish the guy next to me a happy new year. He gives me the dirtiest look ever, scoffs, and walks away. Uhh... ok?

Two Girls and a Shit Test

I saw two girls standing with a guy, and I walk over, i tell the one she has the sparkliest dress I have ever seen, and she flicks me off. I say that's a compliment, and she warms up a bit, but is still mostly cold towards me.

Her friend immediately demands "Hold My Drink!" I give her a playful smile and say "whoa, manners! ever hear of the word please?" She then pushes me and tells me to go fuck myself before storming off.

Trying Not To Get Discouraged

I try to open a few more people but I get blown off (eye rolls) by every single one or told to fuck off by ever single one (my opener mostly was happy new year... not something I see as being very offensive). I'm not gonna lie, I try to remain outcome independent but when you are rejected and told to fuck off like 10 times in a row it's a little hard to stay positive.

Girls Dancing

I see three girls dancing (this is after the ball dropped) and I approach. I banter for a little bit with them and it seems to be going OK, until I ask one of them their names. She rolls her eyes and reluctantly gives it to me. I tell her it was nice to meet you and walk off.

Later on in the night, I see these 3 girls again, and they sort of position themselves next to me. I see one of them point to me, and another obviously looking my way probably checking me out. I don't approach again. I should have, but I didn't. I was so discouraged from every other blowoff I had, I just decided to call it a night as far as meeting new people and just hang with my friends. My married friend later went up to them to wish them a happy new year (he's not hitting on them and is just friendly) and they blow him off and storm off completely.

One Cool Girl

I talked to one cool girl the entire night who was friendly. I wasn't attracted to her (although she was attractive, just not my type), she was friendly enough but the banter died pretty quickly so I kissed her on the cheek and wished her a happy new year.

BONUS!!!!

As I was driving home, there is a large group of people standing at the corner who came out of a party. They shout something to me (maybe they thought I was a cab?) I roll down my window and wish them a happy new year. A few of them then proceed to tell me to go fuck myself.

TL;DR: Don't wish people a happy new year, they mostly will tell you to fuck off. I tried seddit, I really did. I don't know what the hell was wrong with people last night, and while I try to remain outcome independent, it's tough not too. I still had fun with my friends, but not a good night in terms of meeting people.
