*I've committed this summer to improving and learning game from scratch. The FRs found in this series are meant as a convenient personal online journal for me to catalog, reflect, and learn from my experiences and possibly help others gain some insights as well. Keep in mind that I'm a newbie and my FRs may not be very interesting, but I'm here to learn so all comments and critique (on game and on writing proper FR's) are always welcome.

The day after the last FR was spent sleeping in after spending 2-3 days without sleeping. The day after I went out with the group from the previous report. Here is the FR from that night.

Night 1 (A boring night, I wouldn't read this part unless I was bored)

Background: We reserved a table at a new club. This club wasn't as good as the last one as some of the crowd was old (especially the surrounding tables). Not much happened this night. I often left my friends at the table to roam outside to meet girls. I had really wanted to bring a two-set back to the table.

As I first started my approaches I was not in state at all, the first few sets instantly blew me out but at this point I'm indifferent to it most of the time and it doesn't register to me at all. I would notice that sometimes I would blow myself out and ejecting way early. After a few sets I was starting to get pumped and now sets were opening. I often opened with "what's up! I'm DrawnS" or sharing a cigarette (I'm not a huge fan of smoking and try to avoid it but over here smoking is an instant opener). I would usually establish early kino with one of them (while getting the other a bit as well). In the following sets we would usually share a smoke and they would ask me where I was from and such, but as I approached more and more sets I talked less about things like that and more about things that would pump their state emotionally

The first set was a two set and we shared a smoke, only one of the girls was hot. We chatted about some boring topics but practicing eye contact and humor lead to some flirting with the HB. They were often going inside too so I told them I would see them inside. (Later I did see them dancing but didn't go in because I wanted a two-set with 2 HB's so I could introduce one to my friend Chris).

After this set I was falling more into state and approached multiple two sets. One pair of Swiss girls were pretty hot and I was getting along with the first girl but the friend would NOT come inside to meet Chris. They asked me to bring him outside but I was getting pissed so I told them I'd do it in an hour (what a chode thing to say) and saw another two set walk by which I confidently opened (trying to practice building momentum) but this set blew out pretty soon.

A good two set interaction was with another pair of swedish girls (HBs). There was no bullshit talk here I was just pumping their state with humor emotional conversation, and kino. It was going good. They had a table inside and wanted to meet up with us inside later. I did see them at a nearby table when I got back to mine and they were ripe for approach. I made a mistake though, I hesitated. Instead of immediately approaching I turned around to look for Chris to bring him in with me and by the time I got back they were gone.

Night 2

Background: We went out to another club, this one was part restaurant so the table you eat at is pretty much your table for the entire night to chill at as well. It's pretty cool that all these nights consist of getting tables but that won't be the case much longer after my friend leaves.

After we had our meal and our drinks I really needed to get in state quick so I went for a quick walk outside to buy a pack. Every time I left or came back in I would get acquainted with the bouncer in front as well as some staff. The walk was were I started doing approaches. As soon as I walked into the elevator to leave the building two drunk Italian guys grabbed me to take me to a club to meet girls. They were kind of fun. While we walked I saw a two-set and went for an open using "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" opener by TIM and got blown out but they came in and sort of saved it. While they talked I saw a set right next to this and immediately transitioned. This set opened well and we shared a smoke andthen I went in this new bar/club to check it out.Saw a girl sitting down and approached, turned out to be a prostiture (There are a lot in the city we were in). Bought a pack and went back to the original club where my friends were.

After some socializing with my friends I went back out for a walk. After being approached by two more prostitutes I walked away to this nice walking spot. Saw two girls sitting down on the side and approached them. I opened by asking if they were also prostitutes and told them about my experience so far. We laughed, the HB's friend was being gay but ignoring that I sat next to HB with some Kino while I was talking about the prostitutes. After a quick chat about nice clubs in this city the other girl was being grumpy and pulling HB away. HB wouldn't leave before giving me her number though.

State is being pumped more, I see this French guy on the side after walking further and he looks upset. Offer him a smoke and we chat. His friends were arguing in the car about some stupid shit but we talked about some other stuff. His name is Vince. Great guy, he gave me his number and was going to invite me to go meet some girls in a different city next week.

I start walking back to the club when I see 4 HB's in a group. I attempt an open but it was too late before I noticed the girl I was opening was crying. The friends try to pull her away but i Pull another friend in and plow. Offer the crying girl a smoke and all of the girls are asking me where I'm from and stuff. I really want to bring these girls back to my group at the club (especially for Chris who is leaving very soon). I'm really getting in with this one girl I like and we start playing that game where you put your hands out and try to slap the other persons hand. I kept suggesting my club to cheer the crying girl up but half of them are really hesitant. Out of nowhere Vince and his friends show up and I immediately turn to face them and greet them. I introduced Vince to one of the girls saying that "This is a bad man, if you're mother knew you were talking to this man she would be pissed" Vince's group is really working into the set well. I start getting calls my one of the people in my group telling me to come back to the club. They kept spam calling me and one of the girls took my phone and talked for me. At this point we were getting close to my club but I didn't want to disrespect my friend who is calling on the phone any further (I had lost track of time on my walk) as he was the host. I was getting close to pulling them in but I couldn't give any more time, I told Vince and his group to go with the girls to a different club and I'll try to come back with my friend Chris later.

Back in the club I am just in state. I'm approaching sets with my friend Chris. Some random girls ran by me and each gave me a kiss then ran away. Sets are opening without me doing much talking. I experienced my first AMOG in a long time when a few guys just jumped in front of us and wouldn't let us by while we were talking to their girls. Cool thing was I was completely indifferent to it (although a bit shocked) and it didn't effect my state. Unfortunately the club was really running dry at this point ever since I got back. I see another two-set and flirt with one girl and try to get the other to come back to meet my friend. As often happens with me with these sets the second girl would not come and the set got blown out. What was actually cool though was that in the interaction I was so in state that even while being rejected I was really getting close two both girls, not talking as much as I usually do, my voice was perfect, eye contact was there, and the kino was just strong. Even while getting rejected they didn't really seem like they wanted me to leave.

Turns out my group was all done and bouncing. The table was being cleaned and my group was leaving. So I left. Had an excellent time though.
