So got invited to a friend's girlfriend's birthday party at a nice lounge/club. Went in talked to a few people, got a drink coupon from a girl who's boyfriend was with her. Few minutes later my friends arrive, eventually find at least 4 circles of friends I can pass in and out of. Met up with the birthday girl, found a few new friends of hers very attractive got pulled away by my friends before breaking the ice. Got to the dance floor and started to dance with one of her friends I remember solid IOIs from when I had a girlfriend last year. Danced for a while, my close circle of friends seemed quite amused since I actually was with someone (where ever we go no one really was in my standard till now). She was a bit drunk, had me drink a bit of her drink. She left early since she had to work the next day, a guy took her home I'm assuming its some AFC that has been severely friend zoned cuz I remember him around when I saw her at parties a year ago. After she left, another friend was there from high school a solid HB9 it seemed like she wanted to dance, but I think I was enjoying the nostalgia a bit too much. When I finally nutted up I realized she left so i propositioned another girl to dance, she rejected, remained my frame and moved on. Left semi early to take a drunk friend home. For me it was just a break through since the night got rid of a lot of my AA issues, I know I've met the girl I danced with before, but even me approaching and coming out unsuccessful yet maintaining my frame is a huge step forward for me. A few months ago I'd have been shattered but now I can hold my own. I enjoyed the approach and I think that's what really matters regardless of outcome.

Lessons learned tonight:

  • Approach, its fun.
  • Lounges with bars and a dance floor is the type of venue I enjoy most
  • I have a possibility with a girl who I didn't really consider before
  • Maintaining my frame wasn't as hard as I imagined after rejection
  • Slightly well lit dance floors actually helped me energize myself to approach
  • Last but not least, Standing behind a group of attractive girls at the bar gives you faster service and the chance to mingle (while the faster service is great it does cut out some mingling time)
