About myself: 21 M, about 6ft, going to the Gym for about 6 months now and are deep into a Bulk (gained around 22lbs, fat and mostly muscle), but I still would consider myself quite fit. Only had one serious relationship and nothing casual, not especially by choice. Also, a Magician (important for later).

The scene: I was at a party with 3 of my friends (2 male, 1 female) were we all knew no one. We were just standing at the bar and talking. When all of the sudden some girl comes up to me and starts talking and “reading from my palm” also definitely looking me up and down, so probably checking me out (first time this ever happened to me).

So I pull the UNO reverse card and do some “real” magic. Start out with some light tricks and end up with something in the way of: Pick a card, tear of a piece, it vanishes and reappears in a real lemon someone picked form the bar. Needless to say, I got some attention from other people as well and ended up with a group of maybe 5-7 girls standing around me and cheering me on.

That even the female friend of me told my other friends that it is a miracle that I am still single.

What do I do now? I can be quite shy if I’m not holding a deck of cards, so I did not ask anyone for anything (like number or something else), because what is if they are only there to see some magic and ditch afterwards?

Later that evening I had a conversation with the palm reading girl and she got really touchy. Also the first time something like that happened to me.

Like crossing her legs across mine and touching my shoulder and leg. The problem with that? At this point of the evening, I knew she had a boyfriend who also was at the party. So it’s a nope from me.

I did not go to the party in the hopes to “close someone” but just to have a good time, so don’t come at me with the “then why did you waste your time with her?”.

I like going out with my friends and don’t have a problem with being the “life of a party” and doing some magic if someone askes for it. But I feel like my social skills are only based around my stage persona and even though I can initiate a conversation quite easily I have a problem with getting a number, keeping a conversation going over text an especially meeting up in private again.

I also don’t have any idea how to escalate on a physical level do to the fact that I have 0 experience with that, and I hate nothing more than to make anyone uncomfortable and/or coming of creepy.

So the problem with me is not especially the fact that I don’t talk to girls but the fact, that I cant do anything beyond the talking. So, any ideas or tips?
