I was having a seriously busy evening the other night, and wasn't really in the mood for a bar going. But I had promised myself to go for it, so off I went, to the nocturnal city.

There was a student evening going on, so I knew there would be people at the venues.

And yeah, also some social circle gals.



The evening

I end up in a relatively small bar (still one of my favourite venues. Good atmosphere, albeit a small place.). There were some people there which I knew, and decided to go and say hi to them.

However, my intentions were to do cold approaches, so I reminded myself of it and leaved the group alone.

I didn't get approach invitations, nor many cold approaches, only a handful (there weren't THAT many people at the bar, and I didn't want to seem like a creep by just sitting to every table there was.). Even those cold approaches that I managed to get were quite lame, with one being

Me: Hi. Enjoying the evening?

Girl: "Hello. I... Umm.. I'm just ordering a drink here.."

[Some more talking, realizing the girl's seemingly nervous and decide to leave her alone]


[Approach a trio of girls. Cold approach shields are up and running. Try to break them but realize it's useless. Better not to waste energy with it (They're not worth the try anymore) and leave]


Decide to drink one more. It's a mistake and I end up just a bit too drunk.


Now I'm drunk and forget the whole operation. However, a girl from my social circle approaches. I had a crush for her basically years ago. Not anymore really.
Talk with her and enjoy it. There seems to be rapport (Hovewer don't remember all of the conversation anymore.) Remember asking something about something which may or may not involve her boyfriend. She leaves.


Another sc-girl sits to the table, who's an IOI-girl. She basically just says "Hi". I get to ask one question and she leaves almost straight after answering it.


"Damnit. Am I too drunk or have I just lost the momentum?"

I decide to call it a night and leave.



Epiloque

I end up to a pizza place. There's a young couple sitting there.

I sit to the table after ordering and declare, "It's a long relationship coming for both of you."

The girl's partially confused, partially excited. She asks how can I know such a thing?

"Call it intuition."

The guy seems happy for me being there. We talk for a while and they have to leave eventually.

I finish up my food an head home.

THE END


Review

Pros: I did cold approaches for women. That's got to be a good thing.

Cons:

Chose a small bar with sc-people. A bad choice. Drunk too much. A bad choice too.


Better luck next time.



PS. I know some of you might laugh at the word "awry" here. It's awry more in the comical sense of it.

A quotation for you:

You put yourself out there. Good going bro :) More people is better though. I had more success w a club event where they sold about 400 tickets. Although rave scene might not be your scene of course. I suppose bars are better for conversation whereas clubs are better for sheer numbers. I also have not found any bars or clubs that are good on weeknights, even though I still sometimes go to a lounge or a wine bar on a weeknight to look for a conversation if I have nothing better to do. Why don't you give day game a shot :)
cheers, Ray

Thanks for your answer ray_zorse!

A wine bar is a good suggestion. They may have lots of couples there, but the ones that are single may be quite classy an quality cases.

I've also thought of ramping the stakes with the day game. I've busy with my studies and don't have the money to go to bars so often (logistics so it's a money bin)
