Background. I'm 23, have been reading the game for a month, this is my third outing since then.

I went to Sheffield last night with Rich and Steve. They outvoted me and insisted we end up in Flares / Reflex. (I hate 70's / 80's music with a passion so this was difficult for me to concede.

We strutted to the dancefloor and I began trying to look like I was enjoying this cheese fest of a club.

A two set were dancing next to us. they were HB7's and looked young. I saw a drunken bafoon try to talk to one of them. I heard him saying the predictable Hi, How are you and then he just stood there without anything to say. This reminded me a bit of my AFC days but I could always keep a conversation going for more than that!

After several minutes he left and I decided to make my move. I got big time approach anxiety. I opened with the most horrific line and from behind her! I said "My friends have gone to the gents so I need to hang with you for a few minutes". I was appauled with myself so quickly asked her to settle a fashion debate we had been having all night. I said she was the most stylish girl I had seen in the last hour. This got a tiny smile. Her armour was well and truely still up and understandibly. She kept shit testing me and replying with one word answers and throwing the question straight back at me. I used the did you see those girls fighting outside story, then asked how long she had known her friend and said how I could tell.

Then about 10 minutes into the conversation something clicked. Suddenly she shifted her body toward me and let down her shield and started conversing properly with me. It was like at that moment she had realised I wasn't another moron hitting on her I was an interesting guy that was articulating his words and not being a slimey fool.

I found out her name was Emma (I am developing a bad habbit of forgetting names, this time it would come back to bite me slightly.) she is 21 but looked more like 18 lives in Hillsbrough, Sheffield and works at Starbucks. She had shoulder length light borwn hair a pretty face and a great bod. Great cleavage and a good set of pins.

Her friend was being seriously letched on by a bladdered idiot; he was right in her face so I interjected and started talking to her which went in my favour.
This made me realise that each group of girls will get approached by loads of lads on any given night. Most will be smashed and unable to string anything more than monosyllabic words together. If you can be the person that holds their interest theres a big chance you will get the close.

After about 15 minutes she said "are you on facebook" I said of course and told her to give me her phone and I will enter my name. I inputted my number as well and pranked my phone so I had her number. I asked her to spell her name because I had forgotten. There aint that many ways of spelling EMMA!!! but I laughed it off.

I finished with the "I have to get back to my firneds now, kiss goodnight?" and pointed to my cheek. She complied and that was that.

She added me on facebook at 2:30 am. The wonders of technology. The next day I found out she has a boyfriend. I took this as a postivie that I had managed to get a girl who is in a relationships number.

We have exchanged 3 texts today. I played the alpha male, and opted for cocky funny and we are meeting Friday.

Your thoughts welcome
