So this is a bit of an odd story that took place over the course of about a month.

Background - I currently live in a town of about 62k people, 5 hours away from the nearest major city, working here till the end of August. I got wind of one of my favorite new producers touring, and one of the first tour dates was in the City, so i asked a guy I had recently met if he wanted to accompany me on a roadtrip to go to this show, and he gladly obliged.

April: Friday - The weekend was arrived, and we drove down in my (about to be sold) 15 year old car, excited as can be for this show. Got into town, settled in the hotel, then my buddy and I walked to a bar close by. We were feeling rather confident, so we made a small bet (more of an agreement really) to see who could make it back to the hotel with a girl, either from a day of frolicking around the LARGE mall in the city, or from the rave/concert/show.

Saturday: the day of the rave - We kicked off the day by going to the mall and seeing if we could chat up any nice ladies, and get any of their numbers. This didnt really work because of 2 reasons: 1. We didnt really see an opening with any of the girls we walked past at the mall and 2. I'd say we were being cowards.

After leaving the mall, we went back to our hotel room, got ready and headed out to the rave. We met a really nice girl in line, offering us her "services", and we said we'd think about it. Anyways, after a small shit-show, we finally get in, and it is wonderful! The music is great, the vibes are great, and everyone seems to be loving life! We eventually soon find the girl that we met in the lineup that offered her "services", and I think to myself

I don't know anyone here, and no-one knows me.. i'm here to have a good time so what do i have to lose?.. okay let's try something new.

And thats when i bought some "party favors don't judge me" from her, and within a short while, the effects started to kick in. My friend an I were having the most amazing time vibing to the music and just being sweaty around the mosh pit and being in the moment.

And now it Begins My friend and i end up on the outskirts of the mosh pit, just after the DJ had passed out a bottle of shitty vodka that ended up in my friends hand. He got his hat accidentally knocked off by someone in the surrounding area, and I bent over like a good friend to pick it up. I hear a voice from behind me saying something along the lines of "Oh so that's how you wanna do it hey?" and hand my friend his hat. When i turn around to see who said that, i notice a scantily cald HB 9.1 giving me the eyes (either that or she was messed up on too many substances to control her facial expressions) so I thought, fuck it, lets go. I begin to back up into her and have her dance on me, and eventually flip it so that we were dancing face to face. The night goes on, and i continue dancing with this girl, and her friends (HB1 8 and HB2 8) show up once in a while to check up on their friend (who i soon found out was going comando) and i told them I'd look out for her. Eventually things started to wind down and the show was coming to an end, and people started to leave. My friend and i decided to walk the 3 ladies home, since the HB 9.1 that was all over me was really messed up and in need of a bed. Like gentlemen we walked them home and got HB 9.1 inside safely. My friend was talking with HB2 8 about 20ft away from me on some steps, and i was chatting with HB1 8. After we smoked a few joints together (the 4 of us) she asked for my number, and she didnt have her phone on her, so she memorized it long enough to get inside and text me from her friend's phone. The next day, the next day HB1 sent me a text from her phone and i was okay with that. We started chatting a little bit, just a bit of smalltalk here and there (it is important to note that we gave these ladies fake names incase they turned out to be whackjobs, and we needed to break all ties with them), and the conversation carried on for about a month.

Fast forward about a month

May - My friend and i along with 2 new friends went down to the city for another rave (surprising right?) and HB1 and HB2 had been informed that we were going to be in town prior to the weekend.

Saturday Rave Day - While we were clamoring about trying to get ourselves ready to head out to the rave and get some things set in order, HB1 asked if my friend and i would like to come to her place to hang out with her and HB2 after the after party (there was a rave and an after party), and i said i'd get back to her, but quite possibly. HB1 told me that her and HB2 were going out to a different show that night as well. So after the after party, my friend and I made our way to HB1's house and when we walked in, we started with the "hey! hi! omg its been so long! its so nice to see you again!!" with hugs all around.

I started with HB2 (the one i had no contact with over the previous month) then moved to HB1 (the one who memorized my number a month before). After giving her a hug, i proceded to take my shoes off (i was wearing those 5-finger Vibram toe shoes so i had to work them off my soggy damp toes) and after the second one dropped to the ground, i had an idea and acted on it. I looked HB1 in the eyes, pushed her up against the wall, and kissed her. This was less than 60 seconds after walking into the house. I then backed up and apologised, with a smile on my face, maintaining eye contact, and she said "no, no. it's okay" and giggled.

game on

So all 4 of us chatted together, and agreed to go outside for a smoke break. We all smoked a joint and a half together and went back inside. I went to the kitchen with HB1 to get some water and my friend went to the couch with HB2. HB1 and I continued chatting and ocassionally kissing, but then i noticed her glancing to her left, and i became curious so i looked at the window behind her, and i could see my the reflection of my friend and HB2 making out.

perfect!

So i say, "i think we should give them some space" and HB1 says "yeah i think so". We then proceeded to go outside to finish the half joint that remained, and when we came back in, we went to her room. Nothing happened that night, other than a lot of kissing, groping and a very weird sequence of falling in and out of consciousness while trying to fall asleep.

The next morning, we woke up, started making out and pretty soon, HB1 and I were wearing nothing but smiles.

To cut a long story short, my friend and i went out again the following Sunday night (since it was a long holiday weekend) and HB1 invited me back to her place again. Similar story: nothing happened that night, but the morning was a different story.

So what do i take from all of this? Try something new, don't be afraid to get a little weird, talk to a girl AND her friends, be a gentleman, and go into your new experiences with NO expectations. The only thing my friend and i were expecting to happen when we set out in April and May was for us to have a blast of a weekend, and we stuck to that. We didnt plan on meeting girls, or anything of the sort, it just kind of happened, and we rolled with the punches.

tl;dr: met a girl at a rave, my friend and i walked her and her 2 friends home, we got the 2 friend's numbers, i banged one of them a month later.
