Hey, first field report here. I'll try to keep it short.

recently discovered this sub-reddit and understanding the concepts and trying out some techniques actually works pretty well for me so far.

So let's begin with tuesday (hey, that's not going out on the week-end but it'll lead to it). I've went to a pub and watched some soccer with a friend and his girl-friend and then went over to a concert with them in an indie-club near me. So I was having a good time there and have been chatting with my friends when HB8.5 which I know for some years comes in and greets me, we chat a little and I turn back to my friends for some time. When my friends left, I've went back to her and we had some nice talking, some kino and she told me she'll go to a club on saturday. I haven't been at that club for some time because it's kind of a warehouse rave which usually isn't what the people I go out with like that much. Been pretty good in the game that evening, didn't focus too much on her and ruled the conversation of the set she was in rather well.

So I called her on saturday and she seemed pleasently surprised to hear me and told me that she was just about to go there.

I had some stuff to do, did some exercises and went there two hours later. So I went there and met a girl (HB6) who I met at a party a few weeks before who showed some obvious IOI back then (I left that "back then" evening with an f-close with another girl which she probably knew) and now did that even stronger. So we sit and talk about politics because that's where we left the last talk back then and HB8.5 comes and sees me talking to HB6. So I just give her a nod and a smile, and get me a beer after some time, then talking to HB8.5 and HB6 which know each other rather well as I get told then. We have some fun, the other guys were just AFCs and I throw some good jokes in the round and get a good conversation going. So we go dancing a bit which is kind of funny at a warehouse rave when you're not that used to it. But HB8.5 didn't seem to be that excentric dancing either. I didn't really hit on her on the dancefloor, just some side notes about the DJ being on E's (was obvious) and me falling in love with him, etc. which she kind of enjoyed. Some kino there. So the evening goes and we chat some time outside with just some kino again and I didn't really escalate enough.

During the evening a friend called me and went there too and left after some time, but he's just really a guy that isn't good with the ladies but nice and average looking. He left later to get a train.

Most of her friends have gone and I've already been well drunk and talking to a friend of her when she joins and tells me that she's excited about another dude there. He had some fucking ridiculous pants on but HB8.5 is a designer so he might be her type. And she tells me she wants to chat that guy up and asks me to dance with her to chat him up. I refuse and said I'm gonna drink my beer and then leave. Made some (not much) fun of him. So she asks me for advice and I say, she should just go for it if she's into him and not be that shy, think about what she accomplished (damn, I even gave her good tips!) and then left to go to another club and she stayed there. I'm not that sure if she was just shit testing me. But it really is probable, I think. Any tips how to not fail that shit test? I guess I failed it with that. So I told her I'm gonna go home and maybe (should've just told her to get with me there!) hit another club. Got there with her friend, met a HB5 I've already had some convo with the evening before.

She seemed excited, danced some, had some convo on the dancefloor, escalated well, f-close.

So I mainly need to work on escalating better but I guess that's just a lack of training (not that long into the game!). But I'm really curious if HB8.5 was just shit testing me and if how the proper reaction should've been.

TL;DR: Had a semi-date with a HB8.5 at a warehouse rave. Probably failed a shit test there and didn't escalate well; f-close with HB5 in another club afterwards.

Edit: I obviously failed at keeping it short. Better go for a more exciting writing-style then next time.
