I've been lurking on seddit for around two months now. I've read through the side bar a handful of times and finally decided to put to use some of the knowledge I've gained. Now, most of the time I'm a very confident guy. I play rugby, I lift weights, and I'm about to complete a degree in computer engineering. However, I have absolutely terrible AA. I usually get hung up the whole "What do I say" aspect of it. Anyway...

I set two goals for myself:
1) Have fun. So many times I go out to the bar/club only to come home a few hours later feeling unpleasant, like I wasted the night. I really just wanted to have a good night. 2) I wanted to open to five different girls.

I'm very proud to say that I completed both of these goals. When I got to the bar I met up with a couple of friends. We had a couple of drinks and then headed to the back (the back is a club setup, while the front is a bar). I felt the anxiety creeping up on me, but after standing around on the sidelines for about ten minutes I decided to go for it.

The first girl (HB6) I approached saw me coming a mile away. I kept my head up and made good eye contact, but she just started shaking her head 'no' before I even go there. I decided I was in too deep to just back out so I said "Hello" to her. She just shook her head again and walked away. I'm not sure what kind of shit test this was and I had no idea how to handle it. I retreated back to the side lines.

I decided fuck it, and did my best to be outcome independent so very shortly I was approaching another girl (HB7). I decided to use the line right out of the AA post on the side bar. I walked up to her, tapped her on the shoulder and said "When I see an attractive girl out I should definitely say hello, right?" She smiled, laughed a said "Of course!" From there I introduced myself and we danced and talk about where we we're from. So after about ten minutes I told her to give me her number and she did. My first number close using the seddit material. I was very happy with myself. However, looking at the number now I'm fairly sure she either made a typo when she put it in my phone, or she just gave me a fake number. The area code on her phone number doesn't match the area she's from. It's only one digit off though. Anyway, I'll text both version of the number.

The third, fourth, and fifth girls were in a group together. I opened to them with the same line from the side bar AA post, only I changed it to "When I see an attractive group of girls out..." It was going very well, said they go to a college that a few of my friends attend. The thing is, then my friends came over and it all kind of fell apart. They left shortly afterwards.

After that, my goal was completed and I had been having a good time doing it. The rest of the night I spent talking to a group of girls that a mutual friend introduced me to. Nothing very notable happened here. So, my first FR and my first # close. I feel very good about the night altogether. I feel like a I took a big step in the right direction all because of seddit.
