Had the most fun ever Saturday evening! I've been on a few dates with acquaintances since I bought the mastery package but this is the first time I've really stepped outside my comfort zone and cold approached. Went out with some friends originally to watch a buddy's band, but one of my friends wanted to visit her bartender friend.
We're hanging out BS'ing while I'm keeping an eye out to see if any girls are checking me out.
I eye game a girl(whom I met later call her "E") a little bit who I caught looking at me while walking up to the front(the DJ was doing some funny stuff with a bachelorette.)
Standing there with my buds and right in front of us are several girls in sequined black dresses. While I'm trying to think of something to say, one of them notices me, and she asks me,"how tall are you?"
"Why," I ask
It was a bachelorette party scavenger hunt. She was looking for someone less than 5' 2"
I'm 5'5" but she swore that she was 5'5" even though she was taller than me. She wasn't wearing heels either.
Not sure if that was a shit test or not. I let her take the picture with me and another girl anyway.
I continued to BS with them for a moment, casually touching them(hand on the back and elbow) and examining her light up ring that looked like a sex toy. This was a giant leap. I'm usually unsure about appropriate touch....but handled this aspect seamlessly!
I asked to see the scavenger hunt list and she produced it. It was pretty funny.
On the list was "make a balloon out of a condom"
What she said next was definitely a shit test. "You don't have a condom, but why would you?"
I didn't say anything, but instinctively rolled my eyes in dismissal. She had a rock on her finger, so I didn't want to spend too much time hanging around them. My game isn't that solid yet.
I bid them farewell and go to check on my friend "M"
I notice a girl who walks in wearing the same color scheme as me. I had on a red shirt and black pants. She had a red dress and black tights. My buddy notices Her tell and urges me on. She just walked in, and was still unsure of cold approach.

"M" has a friend there and she wants to dance with him. We walk to the edge of the dance floor me and 3 of my buddies are talking and all of a sudden someone begins dancing against my back. Thinking that it is "M" I slowly turn my head to found out that it's "E", the girl I had eye gamed. I'm pretty sure she had seen me talking to those other girls from the bachelorette party earlier!
Although I'm not crazy about dancing, when a hot girl starts dancing with you.....you mother-effing dance!
"E" confessed that she had a boyfriend and she usually doesn't do this sort of thing. I tell her something along the lines of"sometimes you should just follow your insticts and do what you want" She is all over me!
I should have tried to a kiss her.
She breaks off(not sure why) and disappears. I don't see her again.

I see that one of my buddies is talking to a girl and walk up. He introduces me but I don't want to disrupt him game.
As I turn around, i see the girl in the red dress now standing a the bar only a few steps away. Put up or shut up.
I walk up, touch her elbow and as she turns to me I say,"that outfit looks amazing on you..." i briefly hesitate before saying my name. She has time enough to say ,"thanks" after I give her my name, She responds in kind.
I ask her her reason for coming out tonight. She is celebrating being newly single and eye-gaming me like crazy. I let out a small smile and ask her if she has seen any hot guys tonight who have caught her attention.
"Maybe,"she replied almost lyrically, still eye-gaming me hard.

I felt a tremor in the force....she was gaming harder than I was. Although this caught me off guard, I kept my composure. She turns to her friend briefly and as she turns back, in say something neutral(don't remember exactly),wink and stroll away.
I see my buddy talking to the same girl as before only with several other girls an attendance. I casually make my way up to them. The girl is part of a different bachelorette party. I introduce myself and begian BSing with them. While standing there talking to the bride to be and standing side-by-side, I casually put my arm around her midsection. I can hardly believe that some girl I don't know and who is engaged to be married is letting me hold her so close.
She tells me I'm a really cool guy. A fight breaks out close by, but I don't even wince.
Not much else happens after that. Corral my friends and we head home.

It was real confidence boost to not only have some girls approach me, but also me approach them and have them talking and touching like we were old friends.

Although I know going out alone is the preferred method, but going out with a few friends made me feel more confident.
I didn't have any goals at the beginning of the evening, so I'm glad I did something spur of the moment!

LearningMan-

Outstanding first night of cold approach. They won't always be this easy or this good, especially when new, but this is a wonderful start.

I doubt this was meant as an insult. It almost sounds like this was a poorly-worded come-on or tease.

Eye roll is a fine response here considering you weren't sure what else to use. Bored look would've been even better because it puts pressure on her to explain herself (in a fun way).

Yes, would've been a good exercise kissing her. Nice way to get yourself more comfortable in nighttime/party venues. Next time, hesitate less!

Ah, man! This girl was making passes at you but you bailed!

It's okay, it'll happen when you're new. You can't stand the heat yet so you get out of the kitchen.

Try to hang around longer when you end up in these situations. Or, better still, when you feel the urge to bail, try to see if you can get investment instead. Ask her to move with you, ask to see her bracelet, ask her to go sit down, etc.

You had a lot of good moments with touch in this outing. That's excellent, and keep working on it - touch is an integral part of game.

Yeah man, for your first time cold approaching, this is a really stand-out outing. Well done. And keep at it.
