Come Saturday, I realize its been a week since I told a girl she's beautiful (kudos to /u/TofuTofu for this mindset). That means I need to party, and naturally I don't have anyone to go with. I decide to go clubbing alone for the first time. There's an 18+ indie club which I've been hearing a lot about that I decided to check out.

I was not too anxious, but the feeling was there. I told myself I'd open at least 5 sets. If that fails then at least I tried.

I arrive at the line formed outside the club and immediately talk to the first 3 set in front as Pickup Mode flawlessly takes over. I build great report with all girls in the group, and kiss one on the cheek, with a quick peck on the lips afterwards (which she seemed to enjoy!).

Unfortunately, one of the girls somehow turns into the cockblocking bitch, and constantly tries to disqualify me. Not a problem, just ignore her and laugh, remarking on how cute she is when she's angry.

It's still relatively early, so the inside of the club is a great example of shy boys and girls around an empty dance floor. I get a beer and go open sets, one after another. After about 30 mins I've talked to about 70% of the groups as people are still oozing in. Soon I know almost everyone in the club. This is key, partly because I can go up to anyone now and they (or their friend) will recognize me, but also because I told the girls I first met that my friends are inside. They're expecting to see me with someone, and yes, they did ask later during the night.

Key events (numbered)

  1. Fast forward to dancing with the girl I previously kissed. I grab her again, Tyler Durden style, and makeout. She seems a bit reluctant and I can tell her friends are watching. I grab her hand and say "let's go", leading her to a dark corner.

We makeout for a while. Then I do something stupid. I ask her to name one of the craziest things she's done (in attempt to turn her on for f-close). She asks me to go first. I lie and say I've made out with 3 girls at once in a pool. She then says she doesn't kiss and tell. What's worse is she's now spilling pissy stories about how guys can do what they want and be called pimps, while girls will always be seen as sluts. I tell her to fuck what society thinks. A girl who sleeps with a guy 30 min after meeting him is just confident enough to act on her sexual impulses. Anyway that didn't help. Lost her.

  1. Fast forward to hanging out with the same girls two female friends on the balcony. I make some joke about me willing to go gay just to be able to go shopping with her on weekends. They both love me for that, we cuddle under my sweater while one of them plays fortune teller with my hand. The other wonders what it would be like to kiss a gay guy, whereby I grab her and lean in to kiss, but she resists, blushes and giggles. Oh well. Btw, on second thought I should've #-closed these two. I might've been able to turn it into something after a couple friendly dates.

  2. Fast forward to dancing with a girl claiming to be a feminist and thereby wanting to spin me (wtf? I comply once just for fun). I use her to open another set with a hot girl. Here I pulled my favorite move of all. Grabbed her by the waist and saw that she complied. BOOM. MAKEOUT. FUCKING BOSS.

I need to be alone with this girl, so I tell her friend that i'm taking her upstairs. She complies and up we go, where I was high-fived by a group of guys who had seen the action. They tell the girl I'm awesome and she's lucky (more social proof never hurts!). We makeout some more and basically only have time to say hi to each other before she leaves to find her friend. Then I lose her in the crowd.

Sum up

  1. Great social proof achieved. Talked to almost everyone in the club.

  2. Made out with 2 girls, lost them both

  3. -closed feminist girl. Though i'm not gonna follow up cuz she's weird

Sticking points

  • First of all it seems like 18 yr olds are still relatively new to the concept of casual sex. Most of them still live with their parents, so they don't exactly bring guys home. I say this because I get the impression they're open to making out, but not much more.

  • what do you do with girls after making out with them? They're reluctant to leave their friends, so you usually have to stay on the dancefloor until they want a break, even then, you don't want to be the one following them around.

  • As soon as I make out with them it turns into a game of "do I keep doing what I want and likely lose her in the crowd, or follow her desperately until we decide to leave".

She's definitely not gonna leave her friends, so what do you suggest I improve if i'm aiming for the f-close same night.
