So quickly a little about myself I'm a student and work in the nightlife in a college town. I am very comfortable talking to women just not approaching, super un-necessarily. I went out with a female friend to just meet some new people. We made it a competition to see who could talk to more random people.

Just to jump out there for those struggling with AA, making a game out of it, just for fun try talking to some one random whos on there own, be ready to eject quickly but just do it, and do it to a couple people you'll get the momentum going, everyone says this but just go for it and have fun with it, you'll probably meet some one cool.

I would for sure prepare more next time because the only opener I had on hand was 'I need your opinion some girl came up to me earlier asking if I sell M, do I look like the kind of guy who would sell M?'

I opened a pair with a conversation on st pattys day stuff and they seemed chill, led into this opener and that went over okay too, then ejected.

Tried to straight open this with a three set of two girls and a guy walking past behind me, blown out pretty bad, but I should've used a different opener and I don't think it was the most confident approach- for sure not helping with the opener haha.

Otherwise just talked to some mixed random people a bit ended up with 8 approaches for the night, nice to kind of get past AA but it's still a hard drive and I want to be more comfortable opening groups (Are openers still the way to go?)

Also any advice on just building and what next steps as a newbie to this ? Thanks for reading - fun night over all just gotta keep at it!!
