Hello! This is my first FR on /r/seduction. I intend to progress with this at least weekly. I am not entirely new to seduction, but I would categorize myself as a novice who is nearing the intermediate stage. This is the story of my night!

Initial mindset

-High sense of self value

-Must approach any women I find attractive

-Enjoy my first night out barhopping as a 21 year old college student

Friday Night

The night began by hitting up the first bar me and my friend found downtown along a busy street full of pubs and clubs. When I entered I immediately scanned for women, yet saw none of interest. In order to prepare myself for the night, I approached a guy playing pool and began to chat him up. It was rather lack-luster to begin, until a group of 2 women entered. Me and my friend debated approaching, but I wimped out. After I saw my chance was blown, I decided to re-adjust myself and not allow another mistake.

We left to a nearby bar about a block away. This place was much more alive and full of younger individuals. I soon found myself conversing with an older woman (33) and a male friend (she made it apparent they weren't together). Her friend left, leaving me and my buddy to talk to her. I quickly caught on she was interested only in him. I let them be, and decided to approach a nearby girl (HB6) who was fixated on the band. This approach wasn't weak, but I quickly sensed poor vibes from her as each response was accompanied by a dull "yea" followed with an unexcited look saying "please fuck off." I am good at reading if a woman likes me, and honestly, it's not hard to tell. I let her be, taking my silent rejection.

Roughly 30 minutes had passed and I told my friend I would be going elsewhere. My mentality was again to reset myself and try again somewhere new. He got the girl's number he was speaking with, then joined me at the bar next door.

At this point I had 1 personal cock-block, and a half-assed approach under my belt. This was an issue because failure to abide by my initial goal encroached on my overall enjoyment of the night. Quickly upon entering this bar I saw 2 women I was interested in (brunette HB8 and a blonde HB7 at the bar). I sat beside the blondie and asked her casually what she recommended to drink. I mentioned having just turned 21 and she seemed delighted to help. She suggested I try a tank 7, so I obliged. A man came behind her, and her demeanor became more appeasing. It was her boyfriend. I still enjoyed myself and began to entertain and converse with the two before they had to go. Now my mind was affixed on the HB8 brunette from earlier who had just walked by.

Before I could get up, a group of girls approached my side of the bar. One of which sat beside me (a cute HB7 blonde). My mind immediately said that it was coincidence, but I deflected that thought and said "no, she sat beside you because she wants you to approach her." I casually ordered another beer, then when the bartender handed me my ticket to sign, I looked over at the blonde beside me and asked "hey,can you sign this for me?" I was greeted by a warm smile and sparkling eyes that seemed delighted to speak to me. Quickly I found myself engaged in conversation about meaningless topics, yet had her laughing and grinning. Each time I spoke I slowly got closer and closer, making our conversation feel personal. It's hard to say how I did it, but I escalate very easily. Before I knew it, I was kissing her. I was met with no apprehension and I quite enjoyed it. I felt I had nailed it.

I looked behind me to see my friend conversing with her sister who was also a very cute girl. They mentioned they were heading out and I suggested they meet us at the bar we had just visited. They agreed. I got the blonde's number before they left, saying I'd meet them shortly.

Me and my friend did not walk with them, and we actually stalled. Upon leaving I was caught up in a conversation with a hobo about self-fulfillment and I was now almost belligerent drunk.

We arrived at the nearby bar about 20 minutes after the group had left. I looked around aimlessly, until heading out back to find them in the smoke hole. I sat beside the blonde who I had recently kissed then placed my arms around her and leaned my head on her shoulder. At this point, the group seemed to change their vibe entirely. Her friend told me outright I was being too pushy, and suggested I lay off. I did, then apologized saying that I was very drunk. They left 5 minutes later, albeit my friend went off with her cute sister to get another drink. Before leaving, the blonde smiled and I asked her for a kiss. She again kissed me, but with far less passion.

As the night came to a close, I felt I had reached my limit. I called up a cab after I witnessed a girl get arrested for a DUI. The following day I texted the blonde.

I won't quote our convo, but it essentially was me saying hi, followed by an overly-friendly text from her. I immediately mentioned how we should "hang out again when neither of us are drunk so she'd have no excuse not to like me. ;)" and was, unsurprisingly, met with silence.

Areas of improvement

First off, don't fucking game drunk. Especially shit faced drunk. I was so drunk when I had gone back at the end of the night to see her I could barely stand. I am an intelligent, well built, and attractive guy (8/10), but this can only get you so far if you fail to maintain frame. All looks did for me that night was give me that smile that allowed me to pursue her more.

With that covered, isolation is key. I believe women like to be sluts, but they do not like to look like sluts. Especially if they are in groups. Isolation -> escalation. Always.

I do not feel texting played a huge role. The initial interaction is the most crucial, and that's where I fucked. It can be inferred though that due to how pushy I was, in that instance, immediately asking to hang out was too soon. Albeit I feel that the verdict was already decided by her the moment she left, and no amount of text game could have saved a shitty close.

Looking back in hindsight, if I could re-do this, I would have kept everything as it had originally went during our first interaction. Although I would not have kissed her until I could have properly isolated her, and I would make damn sure I walked with her over to the next bar.

My next steps

I do intend to go out more. My focus will not be on drinking, but on making successful approaches with meaningful outcomes. I do not have the luxury to go out often, so I am working on making seduction the norm. I have applied the rule that I must approach any women I find attractive to my daily life. Being someone who is constantly engrossed by studies, exercise, and work, I can only gain women in my life if I go after those who are already in it. I also believe that having met a girl at a bar made her view me in a different light. In that moment, I had my one and only chance. Now, all I am to her is just another guy at the bar, albeit while I did fail, I can say that I did enjoy my night, my kiss, and all I have learned.

Cheers!!

p.s. I am not only looking for improvement on my game or ideas on where I can better myself, but I intend to make this an on-going FR, so please, give me any and all advice on how to properly structure this!
