Ok so I went to the bar right after work. I always go to the same bar, since they let me in for free haha.

Anyways, I got a drink, and walked around. I didn't see any cute girls just yet, so I went upstairs to the loungey type dealio they have going on. I saw some cute girl, but didn't approach right away. I try following the 3 second rule, but I'm usually not able to consistently follow it unless I've done a few approaches and start feeling "warmed up". Anyways, we talked a little bit, and then suddenly, the unimaginable happened. Her boyfriend came over in the middle of the interaction. He wasn't an asshole or anything, shit, he didn't even say anything to me. But my god, I felt so god damn uncomfortable that I just had to get up and leave.

I went downstairs and felt completely frozen after the previous interaction. After like 20 minutes, I told myself I have to push myself further, because I won't improve or get anywhere unless I try.

I go back over to the bar and order another beer. I shoot the shit with the bouncers and they're all blown away because I got a drink different from what I normally get. The main reason I always frequent this bar, is because all of the workers know me, so it's easier to stay in that social mood. There's some cute girl next to me but same thing as last approach, I get nervous and don't do it right away. Eventually, I turn over to her and say "why do you have your phone out, are you checking your stocks?". She laughed and we talked for a while. At first, she wasn't really reciprocating my touch, but eventually, she warms up. Her friend is pretty cool too. Eventually, the convo kind of dies down, so I give her my phone and have her put her number in it. We talk a bit more, I tease her about the holes in her pants. Eventually, the dance floor opens up, so I bid my farewells and went there.

Here's my problem though.. I like dancing.. a lot.. so they'll be times where I just dance all night and not do a damn thing, which is pretty much what happened the rest of the night. Plus, I'm extremely lightweight, so I start feeling it after about 3 drinks. I ended up getting stupid angry at some random drunk dude and I felt like a piece of shit afterwards.

As I'm about to leave, I see a girl I met a little bit over a year ago at the bar one time. Surprisingly she remembers me AND my name, but I completely forgot hers. I got her phone number again, and we set up plans on possibly meeting up monday night. Woo.

I'm going out again tonight, but I kind of want to try going somewhere different. The problem is, A lot of the bars here are extremely tight and cramped, which is why I usually go to clubs. I feel uncomfortable approaching in an environment where I can barely move, and sometimes I just can't hear a damn word the girls are saying when I'm talking to them. I also plan on limiting myself to 1 drink a night, and eventually, none. Oh, and the first girl I number closed texted me this morning saying she had a boyfriend and she was drunk, and not to text her. Hahaha wtf.
