First post. First of all I’d like to thank this community for helping me with my confidence. I’m that extremely nice guy that gets along with everyone, but would piss himself when approaching women. I’ve been told I’m a good looking guy so I should be able to approach anything, I just couldn’t seem to get over the anxiety. Reading the posts, especially the FRs, I realized I’m not alone and picked up some amazing advise. Alright, here we go...

There are 10 of us on a party bus for my buddies bachelor party and the vibe is incredible. I’m one of only 3 that are single so I could tell the pressure was on a little but good thing for me I thrive on pressure. Plus, this is the first time I’m really going to work on picking up. The last couple of weeks every time I would go out, I was literally talking to every person I would run into, guy or girl. We walk into this bar that is jumping and at first glance I do not see much to work with. Everyone heads to the bar to grab a drink, I head to the bar on the other side to scope it out. A set of 3 are ordering shots a around the corner of the bar I’m at. After I get my drink I walk straight over to them with a big smile look them straight in the eyes and just drop a quick line “Nothing better to warm you up than a shot!” They giggle and agree, I walk away. I head over to my buddies and as we are standing there an HB9 (gorgeous) walks up the stairs and right past me. I catch her eye just a little but do not make much of it because I’m talking with my friends. She stands off to the side of us by herself with her face buried in here iPhone. Without even thinking I turn to her and lightly put my hand under her elbo to grab her attention as the bar is a little loud and ask if she is lost (with a big smile of course). She laughs a little and says she is supposed to be meeting her friends at the top of the stairs. I comment on her phone, “Are those little devices amazing? How did we ever live without them?” something along those lines. She’s very receptive so I chat with her until her friends show up. While talking to her I’d glance at my friends and I can tell they can’t believe I’m talking to this HB. Her friend shows up, I introduce myself and we part ways saying we’ll see each other in the bar later. High fives all around for me.

WARNING at this point I am on an absolute high now that I haven’t experienced it a very long time...and I role with it! Walk back to the bar I originally picked up a beer from, 3 set are standing off to the side. I smile and nod they do the same. Walk back to my friends grab the other 2 single guys and tell them we’ve got work to do. Go back to the 3, HB7, HB6, and HB6’s younger sister. I open them up with something like “I’ve seen you 3 times now and all you are doing is standing around by yourselves, I refuse to let this happen any longer!” They giggle, I smile, it’s on. Bring my friends in and chat for a second. HB7 was a little standoffish because, of course, both of my friends are talking to her leaving the others out. I work on the other two, but constantly bring HB7 into the conversation as much as possible. Not much happening with this set after about 10-15 mins so we part ways.

Head back to the group. From here I’m open up sets left and right. Girls just walking up to the bar to grab a drink I open, 2 girl set opened, any girls that are by themselves should walk by our area because I’m going to talk to them. Since I had such a big crew with me I would open a set introduce one of my friends and once things picked up for them I’d move on to the next. Don’t get me wrong, I was being sensere with them and honestly when they saw what a good time we were having it was a simple sell. My goal for the night was for everyone in the bar to know who I was and what a good time I was having.

My buddies keep asking where HB9 went and they can’t believe I just let her walk off. I keep telling them to relax, and in my head I know this is just part of the game. After opening all the sets and since I’m on my high I feel like I should try to find HB9. I spot her at the back bar with some friends. I needed a drink so I walk back order a drink, look over at her smile and nod. She reciprocates the message. I walk over and talk to her and her friends. She is into me! Kino left and right. Everything is going great. After about 10mins the conversation starts to dry up so I decide to eject because I had a feeling my AFC would start acting up. I number close and walk back to the group which is received with high fives all around again. I can not believe I have this girls number in my phone, but do my best to not think about it.

I turn around after the high fives and there is a set of 2 HB8s. At this point I’m not even trying to open, I just start talking to them. One is very shy and I can tell the other is being a little protective. So I start talking to the protector first. Things start going great and the shy one opens up in a big way. This is key. A couple of my friends walk up, I introduce and so begins the second half of the night... I didn’t realize it at the time, but the last two were married! This used to be the first thing I would look for, but I really didn’t care this night. I will not go into too much detail, but these 2 (actually 3 now, their friend shows up) end up going to the strip club with us. Gentlemen, if you ever have the opportunity to hit the strip club with attractive women...DO IT. We had so much fun.

TL;DR AFC become AMOG at bachelor party. Opened up almost more sets than I can remember constantly pulling friends in keeping the vibe at an incredible level. Got a gorgeous girls number and might be addicted to a new high.

Before heading to the strip club I txt HB9 to see if she wants to ride along, she had said she enjoys a good strip club. She politely declines but definitely wants to hang out some time!!

I hope this isn’t too long. I’ve gained so much from seddit that I feel like I need to give back as much as possible.
