Hey guys,
So clearly I'm pretty new. Been reading for close to a month now and doing self assessments to find out where I am and where I need go. Was waiting for a good field report for my first post but saw a post in the beginner section that I had to jump in on. Now that I popped my cherry I might as well get this stuff out there.
Background on me: Broke up with my EX of 3 years at this point doesn't matter why but I was using tinder and looking up stuff on texting to find out why I was so bad at tinder. One thing led to another and I ended up here. So now your wondering where do I strand on the PUA totem pole? Well I have been in sports my whole life and my parents gave me some pretty good genes. But you can say I was raised as a nice guy with 0 game. Basically, I am comfortable around women but I was doing everything wrong(unknowingly) and have thus been changing my ways. It's pretty cool to be able to look back and see all of my mistakes.
November 1st and I went out to this pretty classy bar in Baltimore. We were there to meet a handful of girls who were out celebrating one of the girls birthdays. Got there early and the two of us were in some pretty deep convo by the time the girls showed up and had already slung back a couple jack and cokes( Yes I binge, its fun and after 3 years being in a relationship girls are secondary to fun). Oh lord I am glad I did because I had no idea what I was getting into. The birthday girl is unbelievably hot and all of her friends are extremely good looking as well.
The girls come up to us at the bar and we do our introductions. I meet the birthday girl, who most people would classify as a bitch, and two of her friends. Other girls I had to introduce myself to eventually. But one of her friends I get a very warm smile and we being chatting immediately while my buddy chats with the "birthday bitch". He is so far in the friend zone with this girl that they actually address it openly.... fantastic.
I chat with the friend for couple minutes, we will call her Loren. I find out Loren is from the same college as me but she is my buddy's age. Most of these girls I find out are 26+ and I am 23 and I'm pretty intimidated. Eventually the girls go get a table while we finish our drinks and order another round. At the same time "birthday bitch" asked my buddy Mike to hold her jacket and he gives me the "I told you so look", but takes the jacket.
We make it back to their table eventually and its a high top which works well for the social aspect. After meeting everyone I make my way back to Loren and deep dive her for about 30 minutes about her work and school and such. I don't remember quotes due to the alcohol but there was definitely a really good vibe and were sitting pretty close with lots of eye contact and touch.
I'm really loving using the touching mid conversation. It was something I never used before and the results are noticeable.
Then I hit a wall. I had no plan how to move things forward, my mind was churning but nothing was coming out. I felt like if I escalated in a group like that things could get awkward. She was staying at the other girls house and I still had no place to sleep. No plan, no action. Eventually she broke circle to speak to this obnoxious guy in the group who kept coming up and I got up to take a break and gave her a little touch as I stood up.
Later we did the same little dance and I did not escalate again. Looking back I could have asked her to dance and made moves from there but still would have no end game in sight.
The night simmered down from there. We went to one more bar. But.... as it turns out we are staying at the girls place and so is Loren. Yea fuck me. She already has claimed the couch. It is an L couch. She had the long end. My Mike had the short end and I got the end of the L down by Loren's feet. She even was nice enough to give me the end of her blanket..... I got to sleep with my feet on the coffee table in a sitting position. Next to the girl I should have been with if my game was tight. Best sleep I ever had!......
So I learned...... even when intoxicated I can still implement some game but not all. I learned logistics are just as important as game. Still unsure of how I could have made the logistics work smoothly but I'm sure someone here can shed some light on this.
Side note: I know this is pretty long and I don't normally write much. So any general writing comments that stick out are welcome. Always trying to improve.
Until next time,
Brum
