I had a HELL of a time. First two nights were sort of just go out and meet people- go to the local pub, and sit at the bar with a beer and a book and chat anyone who sat next to me, or near me. Guys, girls, it didn't matter. My mentality was that i'm going out to have fun, and if there wasn't anyone interesting, i would sit and read and STILL enjoy myself and a pint.

I've met, in these past few days, a single mom struggling to raise her kid properly, a single dad with the same issues, a couple that has been together since middle school, a gay teacher, a 27 year old millionaire, and a plethora of others. Every night, we ended up having a blast. it wasn't about going out and trying to seduce others. it was all about having a great time. The seduction is just a side effect of having fun.

Wednesday [FR] Went out to the local barstrip and started wandering around, smoking a cig because old buildings are way cool. Stopped to admire the scenery and decided to just open everyone i saw. first two people i talked to were an elderly couple that had lived here since the 1930's. Chatted them up because old people have AWESOME stories- especially local ones. Ended up learning a couple ghost stories for the area that we were in- those will come in handy later. The next two were tourists that came from hawaii to see the scenery. Older couple, probably in their mid thirties. Opened up with "isn't it weird how we, in all our technology, never fail to admire the simple, old things as much as the shiny and new?" They agreed, and we talked about the history of the area a bit. They asked for a bit of information, and i gave them some tidbits about what there was to do. invited them to meet me out at the bar later, just for shits and giggles.

At this point, i'm feeling cool. Still strolling along, enjoying my day. It's weird, since i normally never do this kind of thing. Who knew that talking to strangers would be so rewarding?

I end up opening up two girls, 6.5 and 8, who were taking pictures, with a "Do you believe in ghosts" opinion opener. They laughed and said no.. so i went and told a story (that i learned, like an hour ago) about the different ghosts that haunted the area. While i was doing this, i slowly moved and decided to sit on a rock (i was le tired) under a lamppost to make the story more ominous. Lmao. fun stuff. They both seemed pretty reactive to the story- it was something fun. I got hb6.5 to agree with me that hb8 was like a ghost, (because she was so pale) but told her that i knew of a secret machine that could turn ghosts into human. They laughed and called me out on quoting casper. I agreed, and said "You've got me- I changed my name because that movie made me famous.. but look, i'm a real boy now!"

..at which point, hb8 poked my nose. Lol. I didn't even think into it, i was just having a good time.

I had to go meet up with a friend for a drink, so i told them to meet me at a bar later that night. Cool, thats four people i'll know there.

i end up grabbing a drink with a friend, chatting. Put up a suggestion that we change location to the other bar where the people i met were.

Now, i'm feeling great. Hanging out with one of my great friends, laughing a LOT, i have people i know at the bar (who are waiting for me to get there!), and generally loving life.

At the bar, i saw the gay teacher from the other night (woot! more people who i know!) and the older couple. i went to go say hello, and introduced my friend. We all grabbed a table and started to talk about the most random of things- the city, life, travel experiences, youthful stories. These guys are awesome- they're older so they have more stories to tell but not old enough to have lost their sense of adventure.

Soon enough, the two girls enter. I wave them over and once again, the fun ensues. At this point, i have told the ghost story to everyone at the table, and everyone within a 10 foot radius has probably heard me say it.

Of course, in my drunken stupor, i decide to go search for ghosts. Teacher and older couple decline, seeing as it's 1am and they need to go. Said my farewells, and told them to look for me here tomorrow. Good times. me, friend and the two girls proceed to exit the bar and run around the town. I take a deep breath and realize wow. I'm here, walking around with three awesome girls, having a great time. Why? all because of the old couple i talked to. They gave me the perfect material to open with in the city. they gave me a great AA killer (old people are so sweet), and got me into state. If i had never talked to them, this night would have NEVER happened.

Now, i don't pretend to be great at seduction. hell, i'm actually really bad. As i wrote above... i'm great at having fun. the rest of the night was us wandering around old parts of town cracking jokes, bantering, light kino. i didn't know what to do in this scenario, in terms of seduction. have i ever wandered around the city at 2am with three girls? nope.

But hey, i decided that i wanted to be batman. yes, the batman. getting back to the main street, i decided that i was going to say something witty and disappear. Why? because i'm fucking casper, the friendly ghost. thats why.

There are small alleys that go all the way up the streets. If your clever, you can climb up them and literaly disappear from sight (even looking up the alley). I decided to stop, and make it look like i was pondering something. They turned around, waiting for me.. and thats when i said yelled TIMES UP TIMES UP! and pointed at the old clock. they looked over at it, and i quickly made my exit, leaving only a piece of paper that i had written earlier.

"Farewell, the moon cries as he disappears. For the nightman is gone, only to leave the dayman waiting. When the sun hits it's peak, i shall reappear again here, not as a ghost, but as a man."

Flashy, over the top. A HELL of a lot of fun. And hey, isn't that what this is all about? having FUN.

I didn't get their numbers. I didn't want to, or need to. I dominated their world and disappeared in a flash. I made them believe for a second that i was really a ghost, an apparition, and a figment of their imagination, and something beyond what was natural. And thats what led to an epic day 2.

--edit-- This is me telling a story. A lot of the actual dialogue i don't remember- i have this terrible habit of saying things in the moment then forgetting what i said. My natural ADD is like that. I'm just telling a story of my night.. that i thought some people here might enjoy. The details don't matter- it wasn't an epic intentional seduction. i didn't get a threesome, or be the guy at the bar everyone wanted to get with. But i did have a DAMN good time and got to cruise around with three girls on my arm. And i guess, thats enough for me.
