So, I've been putting myself out there a bit more, new to the whole PUA thing. Tried some techniques, but never really had it click like it did last night. Normally I know that this isn't strict game, but I ended up using a lot of what I've learned so far to work it.

Since the job drains me, I've been relying on dating sites for initial contact. Yesterday round noonish I sent a message to one girl who seemed interesting, she responded back round 6ish, and in about 10-15 minutes I had her number and plans to meet up that night.

I was far more playful than I had ever been, teasing and whatnot. Far from my usual approach, and she responded really well to it. Made up a nickname for her, had her give me one as well.

I was actually able to see the shit tests that she was throwing me. She mentioned being "baby obsessed" and then tried to probe me for my reaction. My AFC approach would've been to build that up, but I ended up confronting it. Playfully, but standing my ground. Conversation was a lot of push and pull - a tease followed by a compliment, a disqualifier followed by a DHV.

She mentioned she was going to be around my neighborhood with friends tonight, suggested that I join them. Since I'm a popular guy, I mentioned that I was going out with friends that night as well, but she should give me her number so we could meet up afterwards. She complied. (obviously, I wasn't out, was recouping from the workday)

Started a texting dialogue that lasted for most of the night. Playful, light, and me dodging more shit tests. Finally meet up with her + friends, and she's very very chatty, talking to me about a bunch of stuff. I actually wavered a bit here, as I'm not as quick on my feet, but she was a bit buzzed, which made me not worry so much about what I was saying.

To the bar, I end up using a ton of stuff. Sit on a nice couch next to her, and start talking, both to her and her friends. Mirrored her body language, and watched her body turn and open more to me as we talked. More shit tests. She's starting very clearly to be into me. Then I realize I have to isolate from the friends.

I remind her that she owes me a drink (I had bought the first round), and she asks what I want. I look over, and say that I'll go to the bar with you and check the taps. She comes with, isolation done. Eye contact, more kino. I don't know what I said, or if it was my attitude, but I see a switch flip. Her friends go out for a smoke, and we go back to the couch. She is immediately in my arm, and then after a brief spate of talking, k-close.

Make out a bit, she gets self-conscious. Friends are there, it's a PDA. I'm pretty sure this was another shit test, but I purposely fail this one, as I don't want to push. Though I do kiss her once more to put a point on it.

Bar lets out, I suggest we grab a quick bite. She's hungry, so it works. This isolates from her friends who are going on to either the next bar or dispersing. We get some pizza, and then, since it's late and she lives far, I offer my place. One last obstacle ("I need to get up early tomorrow though") and we're off. She ends up spending the night.

Not going to get into detail past that, didn't f-close as I was frankly exhausted. But some good fun times had.

But yeah. This was my first real time putting what I had learned into practice. I know that I missed a lot of things, but I was able to actually see this stuff work firsthand. I think I like this.
