Friend's b-day. Decides on a party bus. Wanted to pre-game with some friends but didn't get the chance, whatever, i'll wing this party with just pure confidence and fun. All in all, good start to the night.

Bus starts up, I see two HB7.5's chilling with their friends who I don't know. I happen to know almost 99% of the bus, mind you, so I go up to people and hug, say hello, chill with friends, make small talk. An HB8 I barely know (that my friend dated for a short period of time) comes to bus as well, and I steal her seat, ask her what she's going to do about it, to where she proceeded to sit on my lap. I do this one or two more times, to which she sits on me again and we joke and have a good time. We also play around later after she puts ice down my shirt and I attempted to put ice down her bra. It was a good thing we barely knew each other and she got to see a differnt side of me

Moving on, I come to the first HB 7 (we'll name her JP) ad I strike a conversation, using a line I found on seddit--"Who are you and why don't I know you?" (Could have used a situation opener). We talk about how she knows the girl throwing the party, what school she goes to, and we start talking a bit about the HB8. But then my problem came up I froze. I couldn't even make small conversation or say something funny I don't if AA creeped up on me or what. I'm thinking to myself "FUCK" as I can't continue the conversation and JP gives me cold responses. I get her to dance, make her do a spin, but she is barely into it. I don't remember a smile from her (like i said, she came off negative). I decided to eject while I can back to my friends and continue small talk.

Party kicks up. Me and HB8 are grinding but i'm not too good at it and i'm way more into it than she is. Kind of ruins it in my opinion. I see the other HB7 (MO we'll call her) and ask her who she is for a quick second and then say "come dance with me" to which she says she "dosent know how". I disqualify myself and say "I can't dance either, but who cares?", pick her up by her hand (ALWAYS LEAD) and start spin her till we start grinding for a good 30 seconds.

I think I escalated a bit too fast with MO in this part (who didn't say much the entire party. Seriously, she sat down for a good portion of the time) and this is why I think so:

  1. Her friend ( and a person I personally hate) cockblocks me by pulling her away while we are dancing. I think her friend asked what she was doing with me in a playfully negative way (more negative if you ask me) when MO was clearly having fun.

  2. When I approached her later to dace and talk, she shot me down and was way more resistant. (Maybe the friend said something to make it worse too?)

What do you guys think?

JP kind of ruined my confidence but not as much, and I was a bit wiped out in the end. Seriously, no more caffeinated drinks on a freaking 5 hour party bus with the same people. HB8, another girl and my friend were kinoing a lot at the beach later, she comments on how funny I am several times that night, and I tell her to give me her number to me at the end, to which I barely managed to get some material for callback humor later.

What could have I done better that night? I really hate the way I carry out my conversations. it's weak. With the HB8 it worked well, but when it came to Mo and ESPECIALLY JP, I couldn't do it.
