Went to a charity happy hour meetup in a club at DC. Met two wings there. I am in a great state - very energetic. I get into teasing chatting mode right away with the hosts giving name tags and donations for the charity. I am talking with a wing he is asking about my new leather coat "Its Marc Jacobs" "who?" "This girl knows mark jacobs is, right?" As I sort of touch her. She is with a guy friend. She smiles and agrees and plays along very briefly - name exchange. I wasn't looking for or expecting a hook I am just being friendly and chatty. We go up stairs to the roof top deck. Much more crowded here. one wing goes to get drinks. I start chatttin with random folks a bit talking about how it smells like breakfast up here - like bacon and eggs or something - it genuinely did. I am trying to get deeper into area but its very crowded.

I take a detour through three girls - I start to say "hey [name on nametag] how's it going?" to each of them while giving high fives. The first two are 6/7 and then I notice the last girls nametag is kind of hidden and whoever wrote the name had crappy hand writing. So I don't say her name and mention that she has crappy handwriting. It also so happens that she is a solid 8/9 and latin - I LOVE latin girls. She starts to qualify herself and the conversation gets going with these three girls. They are very friendly and obviously enjoying th attention. Lots of playfulness. We talk about how we are in an Air Guitar band together. I mention that "I am the self declared air guitar champion of the world..for the second year in a row!" .. "I know I know, I am bragging." "sorry ladies no free shows" There is lots of teasing banter. The set is hooked.

My wing is between me and my target. I go to grab a drink since the bar is not packed anymore. I grab a drink real quick and this time I am right next to my target. I start to focus in on her - "So your latin right? I am going to say Peru." Wrong. "Colubmia?" Wrong. "Bolivia then." Yes! I ask if she latin dances - slasa or merengue. She does. I mention that I do to. She trys to get me to show her right there. No no. I ask if she has been to Lima on mondays for salsa night. She has once before. I mention she should come out. I ask where she lives - Out in the burbs on the opposite side of the city from me. I disqualify her "this distance thing isn't going to work" while giving her a hug. Its too bad cause your really cute too - another hug. She comes back to the salsa dancing - she is skeptical of my salsa skills. I say she should come out Monday - she agrees. I grab her number.

Conversation get much deeper. Lots of rapport and connection but still plenty of teasing and fun. We are kinoing the hell out of each other. She pulls into me with her arm around me when she talks. I pull her in when I talk. This goes on for 20 minutes or more. She mentions that she wants to get a shot with her friend and invites me along. I come along with her and she buys shots for all three of us! Not long after me and my friends decide its time to split. So I give my girl a hug and kisses on the cheek and say I'll see you monday. SNL ddin't seem likely - way too early in the evening still and I didn't want attraction to die hanging around too long. I got the number and seeded the day two. She is invested (bought me a shot) and she is not likely to flake.

On the way out I continue to randomly chat and banter with everyone who crosses my path - guys - girls whoever.

We change venues to a favorite lounge a few blocks away. We still have our name tags on. We enter and just start opening immediatley. "Hi I'm [name on my nametag] how's it going? Where is your name tag? You must not be at the same event as me." blah blah. lots of fun playful bantar to go along with this. We talk to damn near EVERYONE there. we open a really cool fiesty blond new york girl. MY wing hooks a solid set with her and her friend by himself. Me and my other wing work various other girls coming to the bar for drinks. During all this I notice a girl walking by with an interesting scarf thingy on her head. I Point and say "I like it. I like it. I don't care what anyone else thinks - I like it" Upon saying it. I realize what a great opener it was - kind of push pull. And I actually wrote it down. After a bit I enter my wings set. he really doesn't need me. he is probably THE BEST conversationalist I know he can talk and entertain girls for HOURS!! but he has a hard time closing and seeding day-2s. No good.

We bounce the girls to a nice classy bar across the street. We go up stairs The two girls get in line for drinks. Three huge guys buy them drinks (I didn't know this at the time) and start hittin on them. This carries on a bit too long. Despite these guys being a good 6 inches on me (i'm five eight, their tallest guy was six eight!!) I step in start talkin and be friending them I place myself between them and the girls. I move the girls out to a table. We chat. Here things start to die. The tables seperate us too much. One of the girls leaves to get a drink. Not long later the other girl grabs the two coats and her purse and says her friend wants her coat - she says she'll be back. They don't return. :/ I personally don't care because I did not see anythign happening with these girls personally. The girl I was chattin while very physically attractive had the energy and excitement of cold oatmeal. I was just supporting my wing.

TL;DR By opening everyone I "accidentally" open a cute 8/9 latin cutey who buys me a shot and #close and seed day 2 with her. In my natural open minded chatty state I come up with a good opener. I amog some huge guys who buy our girls drinks trying to snag our ladies from us. girls bail on us later. Bar didn't have right vibe - too bright and tables fucked up the social vibe.
