Intrigue. Fascination. Momentum.
Like finally taking off a shirt that has been too sweaty on you for too long, last night came as a burst of relief, as I re-entered the stage closest to when I had been consistently night gaming back in the summer of 2017. Family affairs were completed, my apartment was my own again.
I went out with my roommate again, a novice whom going out with allows me to feel more comfortable making my own mistakes. Even then, the goal was to do great approaches, and make each one amazing.
But that will be a story for a journal entry. Suffice to say, I was quite socially warmed up by the time this approach arrived. It's about 3:30AM, and the last of the bars were just starting to get ready to close up. I'm dressed in black pants and black chelseas, with a blue floral dress shirt, sleeves rolled up. The night had started at 9:30, but something new is growing in me, and the supplements I'm taking I think are starting to truly have me rearing to spend every moment talking to women (ashwagandha, brazil nuts, butter/fish oil, eating a wide array of healthy nuts/eggs, maca, cold showers).
Still, the streets are starting to clear out, and the night is getting emptier, when I spy two girls walking. One, a gorgeous brunette (HBTex), the other, a very cute blonde girl in a red dress (HBSway). HBSway is walking, and there's a telltale lack of sobriety. The other girl is calmer, more in control. I walk past, eyes on my phone, and eventually open indirect:
And so I just stay and talk with the two girls as we walk. There is incidental contact between me and HBTex, while HBSway hovers around, occasionally adding to the conversation. I'm fully enamored by HBTex, so she's the one I want to go for, but I'm also quite attracted to HBSway, though I view her as too drunk to be comfortable with anything more than making out with potentially. The conversation is fun, exciting, and stimulating, and the girls seem quite charmed by me. We reach the bar, and HBTex very warmly hugs a guy (Card) outside, who it appears we are here to meet. I just follow them inside, avoiding any line, and no one bats an eye.
I introduce myself to a couple of guys in the group, then restart conversation with HBTex. While we talk, HBTex has pressed her body to me, and is leaning in a lot to hear what I have to say. I ask her how she knows some of the people here, and she says that she knows Card as, "a friend from Church". She says this in an awkward manner that tells me they've been following the slow courtship route that will inevitably lead to a very normal societally acceptable dating path (if they reach that).
I'm very passionate and genuine as I broach the different SOTs while pacing her emotions of being in the environment we're in. I also connect very strongly, while maintaining great eye contact and conversational pacing as I talk to her about the first few months of living in the city, since she and her friend are new here.
At one point though, while holding the HBTex, I hold her waist, potentially just a tad bit lower than before, and HBTex removes my hand gently. Before letting go, there is a pause, where her hand is still holding mine, but it hasn't been let go. I think I should have grabbed her hand at that moment.
At this point, HBSway grabs my arm and pulls me closer to her to have a conversation. She holds my hand and pulls it into her chest (which in the low cut dress, you can imagine how much I didn't mind). I talk to her a bit, as HBTex and the guy she's with go onto the dance floor. I talk to HBSway, and my arm is around her, and I have her pulled close. I stimulate very well, and run through the tourist gambit and connection SOTs to talk about how exciting making a new connection, leading to new adventures and new experiences can be. Pauses and pacing on point. My face inches closer and closer to HBSway's.
Like I said earlier, I knew there wasn't any way I would take HBSway home. At that level of inebriation, it wouldn't have been the right thing to do, morally or legally. But I view kissing as on the table, as it's mostly harmless, and will still give me some good proof that what I'm doing is showing improvements, and that I can do nighttime street game to get super fast escalations.
I also see HBTex make out with Card on the dance floor, which made me feel like they were allowing me to escalate on HBSway.
So I make out with her, and then again. For some reason, I suggest we go onto the dance floor to dance, and HBSway goes to put on her shoes, at which point HBTex comes and helps, but then pulls HBSway away. I assume for safe-keeping.
And so my night ends rather abruptly, though with lessons learned aplenty, and the knowledge of what I could accomplish grown exponentially.
For all the night-gamers out there. I would really appreciate some advice on how to have better made my decisions here. I was most interested in HBTex, so if there's any knowledge on how to have accomplished that would be greatly appreciated.
Otherwise a way to better set myself up for follow up with HBSway. There's no way I would have brought her home, so it's more questions on how I could have set myself up for a follow up. I'm also not sure whether I should have followed the girls onto the dance floor. For some reason, I had a huge spike of fear that HBTex would be angry at me for kissing HBSway, either due to her being drunk, or because I'd earlier emotionally stimulated her super well.
From talking with a friend, I think a better solution here might have been as follows. I should have not made out with HBSway, instead just letting her go and moving on to a new girl instead. Then taking her to the dance floor to return her to HBTex and dancing with them while building pre-selection.
I'm also curious where I made mistakes along the way.
With that said, it's still great improvement and I feel quite a sense of accomplishment at how much I've changed over the last few months.

Me: Seems like it's a fun night so far?
HBSway: Yeahhhh!
HBTex: Yeah it's been a lot of fun
Me: If I were to ask you, on a scale of 1-10, how would you say it's been?
HBSway: Like a 9!
Me: Wow! That's a great time
HBTex: Haha yeah, it's been fun-I'm here making sure HBSway is okay now
Me: That's awesome, it's always great to see friends keeping an eye on each other. <Pause> What places did you guys hit?
HBTex: We started at X place
Me: Oh cool-I've been. Did you spend all the time on the roof?
HBTex: Yeah, it was fun. What about you?
Me: Yeah, we started off at Y bar's rooftop. But you know, the night doesn't really feel ready to be over yet. I'm still trying to figure out what I should do...
HBTex: We're going to this place called Z, it's supposed to be fun
Me: Really? Hmm, maybe I'll come check it out then

Me: <Raises eyebrow playfully>
HBTex: <shyly/looking down> I don't think Card would like to see that
Me: Are you guys dating?
HBTex: No... But we're <pause as she tries to figure out the right word> talking. Can you respect (I don't hear the last word, so it could have been "that"/"him")
Me: Well, I like talking to you, and you're a very exciting girl. But I can respect that
