Every spring, my high school hosts a floor hockey league where groups of friends come together and compete to win the final tournament and the glorious hats that come with victory. Today was the date of the final tournament, and we were scheduled to play in the afternoon. Rather than wait until right before my game to get there, I showed up about three hours early to talk to people. Right when I got there, I found two of my (girl) friends standing on the upstairs track looking down at the gym where a floor hockey game was taking place. I walk up and talk with them through the next game. The game ended in a huge upset with the senior team, who was expected to contend for the hats, lost to the freshmen in the first round.

After the game is where I get my first shot to talk with a couple girls. There are two important members of the senior team. There is one girl whose ineligibility as a partner I use as an opportunity to show off any witty insults that may pop into my head that may be too mean for any nearby HBs. She claims to have me on her “To Kill” list, but I doubt she plans on going through with it. The other is a girl that I have known since my sophomore year and probably friend-zoned me repeatedly, possibly since I dated her sister for a year, but I have managed to get her attention in a different light this year. Up until yesterday when our school’s star quarterback (who she barely knows) asked her on a date, I fully intended to ask her to prom. Now I’m just running game in case our quarterback relied too much on the girls coming to him rather than his ability to actually attract a girl. I use the defeat of the floor hockey team to do my best to both console and tease both of the girls along with the rest of their team [I think I may have pushed the tease/console ratio a bit too far towards tease].

In addition to them, there is Senior Girl Floor Hockey Team #2. Last week, one of the girls on this team seemed surprisingly interested. She giggled at my jokes, gave me attention, and when I claimed to have forgotten the name of a song, she offered to text her sister to ask if she knew. Today, I managed to talk to her twice while she was watching the game. The first time I talk to her, I tease her a bit, and she seems pretty receptive if not quite as much as the week before. The second time, she seemed more interested in the other guy there, although I did catch her looking at something interesting right over my shoulder whenever I started talking. Between both of the interactions, I managed to kino only slightly. I only went as far as a few light touches on the arm. I’m thinking I really should have stepped that up, less incidental and more overt. Any advice on how quickly to move from light taps to pulling close?

Also on Senior Girl Floor Hockey Team #2 is a cute brunette. Freshman year, I awkwardly asked her on a date and got rejected. I think she’s still pretty cautious around me, but I have been doing much better by teasing her and making her hold eye contact. She does not react as much as prom girl does, but she hasn’t rejected me yet. I talk to her slightly, but my kino situation is the same as with the first situation. A bit of incidental, but I forget to man the fuck up and go full on palm to shoulder/back.

I could go on for pages, but these few interactions are the ones that stand out as meaningful. In addition to this scintillating story, I have a few questions. What is a good way to remind myself to kino? I usually don’t actively think about PUA when I’m with other people, I just focus on confidence. Are there any good ways to get out and practice doing ballsy things whenever I want without the possibility of fucking my social life if I go too far? I’m too young to get into a bar, but live near a college. The only problem is that during the few times I have talked to college girls, they seemed a little put off by my age. Feel free to ask for any details; I did what I could to keep it short. Also, if there’s interest I’m willing to post more High School FRs, but I’m not sure how useful those would be.
