Last Night

Well, last night was a blast!  When I go downtown on a Friday or Saturday night, I usually go alone.  Going alone poses a problem to most people b/c they don't know how to connect with a stranger.  Going alone is actually the way I prefer.  When you go with a friend who doesn't socialize as well, it can become a liability moreso than a perk.  Now, if you had a friend who could hang in there with you (a noble wingman) it would be totally worth it.  Anyways, it doesn't really matter because in the first half hour that I'm at a bar I usually already have a set locked in pretty solidly.  That's what happened last night.  In the first 15 minutes I met a woman outside.  Talked and talked and then got into her larger set inside the bar.  Within 15 minutes after that I was dominating the set.  (Oh and here's something funny.  I left the set for a second to go get another beer and cracked a smile as I made cheers with a group of girls that I walked past.  Seconds later, at the bar, one of the girls from that same group tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I would buy her a drink.  HA! That's funny.  Never, ever, ever buy a girl a drink!  You shouldn't have to pay for her attention.  So with the other two girls from the group standing right there I looked at the girl who asked me and said, with a cynical smirk on my face, "What, are you broke?"  She didn't think it was that funny, the two bystanding girls from the group sure thought it was, and I sure as hell did.  And I said it with a smile on my face so my intentions were perceived as good. Facial expressions play a HUGE part in the delivery and perception of a message. That's a no-brainer.  I should have locked in with this group but oh well.) So, BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SET.  15 more minutes of being the fun guy and one of the girls asked if I wanted to tag along to the next bar.  Now, before I go any further, these 3 women were all over 30 and there were two men.  One of the men wandered off shortly after we left the bar.  So that left 3 women, 1 man, and myself.  The other man was a pretty low-value guy.  He was clearly hitting on Michelle all night thinking that was the way to go.  I hung back, kept the fun-guy vibe goin, and had consistent IOI's from these women all night.  This is great practice for me if I ever decide I want to be a dating coach.  I'm still not a pro but I'm getting very good at socializing with people.
