I found this group last week and having a great time reading the FRs so I figured I'd contribute. My first FR! Can't wait to go sargin again.

On a business trip for work at the moment so I figured that there would be no better time to go out sargin. Started Friday taking a HB8 coworker out for dinner and drinks. Dinner was going well and we were hitting it off fairly well...IOIs and DHV for a solid hour. Figured since I am in a different country there was really no harm in going after this one. Ended up bouncing to a few other bars and me with the company card ended up paying for drinks. I know, this isn't what you're supposed to do and may have led to the no close. Felt like I had kino going well and her place is just a block from where they have me staying. After a few more drinks we decided to bounce towards home as she had something she needed to do on Saturday morning. Ended up getting her back up to my place but couldn't get the close. It seemed as soon as she came inside she shut down so I don't know if there is much I could have done about this. Suggestions? (Might be because we do work for the same company even though shes a receptionist here and I am from out of town). So, overall I had a great time and not sure I could have done much more for that situation. I'm going to try and take her out again sometime this week.

Saturday I ended up going to see a coworkers band but never made it into the venue. Made some friends in line who were pretty cool so wingmen, check. Line never really moved so we bounced to a different bar and they had some girl friends to meet up with. Decided to take the girls back to their place but didn't get far with either. (Both had bfs/husbands) Ended up just kicking it at their place for most of the night but I have to say it felt good being outgoing and making new friends while I was out by myself. In retrospect I probably should have just said thanks and gone back to the bar but it was pissing rain outside so I wasn't feeling it.

Sunday was a great day. Ended up wandering down the the local bars to watch the Giants game on TV and it happened to be right after the Italy - England game. People were all over the place which was a great surprise. Sat down at the bar next to a HB7 and struck up a conversation. She was bitching about her BF or something stupid so I wasn't really paying attention and more to the game on TV. The wait staff at this place was incredible and a few of them got of work and joined me at the bar. HB8 HB9 dude and HB8 all sat next to me and we were just shooting the shit about what it was like to work there and when I should come back to that bar. Should have # closed one of them but ended up bouncing with the first girl that I was talking with. Her BF ended up breaking up with her while we were at the bar which is what she wanted so we just went bar hopping. Ended up at an industry night bar and got that K-close after plenty of kino, stopping at a bar where I had met the bartender the previous night, and some liquid courage. Also - Made eye contact a few times with the hottest girl at this last bar (HB9.5) and she just came over and hit on me in front of the girl I brought there...feels good man. It was a good weekend.

Things that helped me: -Just saying "Hi" works wonders. -Getting to know the workers at bars is the best play -Know that there are a million chicks out there and all you need to do is find something stupid to talk about. -Just saying "fuck it" and get off the couch. -Solo sargin gets you out of your comfort zone and can be great to learn what works fast

tl:dr In different country for work. Date with HB8 went well but no close. Kept head up through weekend and ended with a k-close on a Sunday night. Critique welcome.
