I arrived at one of my usual drinking establishments sober and out of state to meet up with two friends. When I walk in with a wing or any group of people I usually force myself to hit on everything that walks and generally draw a lot of attention to myself and the group from the second I walk in....but this time I just proceeded to table where my friends were. Feeling out of state I did what often do and started some playful banter with the women that are paid to give you attention: bartenders/beergirls/waiters. The beer girl that came by first was easily a 10. 10: how are you guys doing over here? me: do you work here? 10: yes. me: I'm very flustered. None of you bartenders are wearing anything to designate that you work here, and i can't tell you apart from everyone else.
10: well what am i supposed to wear? me: a tacky T-shirt with the name of the bar on it. 10: I hate those. Do you guys want to order any drinks? me: are you offering to buy me a drink? 10: no. me: why not, am I not your type? 10: smiles and rolls her eyes before taking my friends drink orders and walks away.

Perfect, that reaction was all i needed. I'm feeling in state now. The 10 eventually got fed up with all of us working game on her and left our table never to return (reminded me of the game theory scene from a beautiful mind). It didn't matter though, my goal was achieved, I was in state. The mood of the group had changed, it was game on. I started opening sets.

Set 1: HB7 and HB6. Not really sure how I even ended up in this set... Either way, negged the 7, befriended 6, things went well and they were both giving off ample IOIs, but we left the set after 15 minutes (too long to stand around talking to 7s and 6s?) to explore the other talent.

Set 2: Complete Failure. HB8 HB8 HB8 HB7. They were sitting at a table, I was standing. I approached and asked about good places to dance around here. HB8: What? me: good places to dance, i was looking for some good places to dance around here and wondering if you knew any, do you not dance? HB8 #2: (interjects) Who are you? me: who are you? HB8: you should go buy us a drink.

I wanted to respond with a sarcastic "right away your highness" but I was not locked in well to the conversation with them all sitting and me standing.. they kind of just turned away and I pretty much aborted the effort by laughing and walking away. My confidence and state dropped to previous levels.

I took a minute to pull myself together, talked to my friends, and shook it off.

Set 3: 4 girls at a 6 person booth HB5, HB5, HB6, HB8 (the target was pretty clear). One was drinking beer and the rest had girly drinks...easy enough...I came in and sat in their booth as if it was my assigned seat me: "did you not tell her that the thing to do was to order the girliest drink you can think of, or is she just the only real drinker at this table?" girls: (all laughing, immediately receptive to my comment) chatted for a second, introduced wing, talked to them for a while and eventually excused ourselves on a high note. (Wanted to change locations, the bar we were at was kind of red neck, not exactly bustling with talent apart from the bartenders)

Set 4: In changing locations we rolled up on a group of 3 girls in heels walking slow and partially blocking our way on the sidewalk. I immediately jumped in to give them a hard time about walking slow and told them I could walk in heels better than that. Set consisted of a HB6, HB7, and HB9. We came to a cross walk, lots of uneven pavement. me: "this looks tricky... lots of obstacles for heels here... come here i'll carry you across." HB9: (just laughs and lets me carry her across) I put her down, spin her around as if we are dancing then let go of her hand and do a quick take away to give her friends some attention. Its just me and 1 wing at this point, hes half heatedly going for the 7. After we make it to the next bar, HB9 realizes she left her card at the bar they were previously at. They are from out of town, they don't know the streets well. PERFECT. I don't hesitate to jump at the opportunity to escort her back to the other bar. Game on. I begin qualifying immediately: "tell me what makes you special?", "are you actually a nice person, or do you just fake it?", "What do you have going for you besides a sexy tattoo?" (she had an intricate tattoo on the back of her left shoulder.) I'm escalating physically while talking to her on the way to our destination. When we get to where she left her card, she actually buys be a drink!! After some chatting and some more escalation at the bar, we leave to go back and meet up with our friends. I spin her around on the sidewalk and we begin making out. We meet back up with her friends and go into a club. I re-isolate by telling her friends I need to borrow her. We make out for a while in a dark corner before I say: Hey lets get out of here and go somewhere more comfortable. She runs to tell her friends she is leaving with me and thankfully because of the rapport I built with them throughout the night they don't attempt to stop her. On the way back to my place, she tells me shes into kinky things.... I was not mentally prepared for the sex we had, but I know it was one of the best moments of my life. :)
