What's up guys? The name's Jim and I'm here to learn. And boy do I have a ton of learning to do.

I haven't gotten laid in close to a year and it's starting to get frustrating. I always thought the whole night game scene would be much easier than it's been for me. I was in a committed relationship from age 17 until about a year ago, so I've only ever bedded one woman in my life. I really regret everything about that relationship. Friendships suffered and I started out absolutely terrified to talk to women.

I've gotten over the terrified part but I still have nights where I can't do it. Even on the nights I am able to approach consistently, things fizzle out, I forget to kino, and I have endless problems.

I think I'm an average looking guy. Before this experience I always thought I was well above average but I'm starting to think it might be wrong. I'm in extremely good shape but it's nothing that pops out to a woman. I'm an endurance athlete, 6'0", 165 pounds or so.

The only action whatsoever with the ladies going on for me is by using online game right now. I'm actually pretty good with it since I have a ton of practice but it all goes to shit after I pull the number haha.

That's how it goes. I'm in the process of reading magic bullets and I'm really going to try to make a commitment to improve my life with the ladies.

We'll see...

Thursday, August 9th

Hmmm... so I just rambled on about how absolutely terrible I am at this, so what do I do? I go out and have a fairly successful first night on the report.

I'm typically a Thursday-Saturday night game guy. Thursday nights are usually lame everywhere except 1 location, so I hit up the same spot pretty much every week. I was under the impression that I was going with one of my best friends and his buddy (who I also know) but it turns out the guy I vaguely know brought his sister.

The sister was an HB7 but exactly my type (I dig skinny, tallish chicks) so I was interested from the get go.

First of all, let me throw out the obvious question here. It's not wrong to game this chick, right? I mean I think my buddy is a cool guy, but I don't know him too well. I would never game a close friend's sister.

Anyway, she's kind of shy but I get her to open up after a bit and start joking with me. She pounds beers like a champ, while I tend to babysit mine. So that was a running joke between us two that I could come back to at any point during the night.

My game is far from fluid tonight. I'll tell you that much. I forgot kino in the beginning, like always, but started later on.There were times when I thought I was going to lose it but I would always recover. I really began to think she was interested when she basically ditched her beer pong partner for me (Thursday is beer pong night at this bar). She could have waited for him to come from downstairs but she clearly wanted to play with me.

Towards the end of the night I convince her to come out on the dance floor with me and my best friend Andrew. Like a good friend, Andrew finds an excuse to vacate the situation after not too long. Like her overall personality, she was a shy dancer and took a while, even for me to get her to open up on the dance floor. When she did though, it was clear to me that she wanted it.

I'm terrible at reading IOIs but even I can get this one. Our faces began to get close to each other and she pulled off for a second and asked for gum. I had offered everyone in the group earlier a piece, so she knew I had some.

Problem comes when the brother goes and sits at the bar near the dance floor. She's instantly paranoid that her brother is watching her every move. I tried my best to plow through this but it just wasn't happening. I went for the K-close once but got the head turn at the last second. I truly think it was the paranoia from the brother being around.

After a bit, I decided to number close and tell her I would love to hang out with her in a more comfortable situation. She complied, as expected.

I was feeling good tonight. If she wasn't there, I'm sure I would have had no AA tonight. I opened a couple of sets for my best friend on the dance floor and and then ejected to help a brother out.

I texted the HB some nonsense and she got back to me when she got home...

Me: Here's my nuber, meanie (recall, she was pushing me all over the dance floor trying to get me to rub against this obnoxiously sweaty guy. So I called her a meanie)
HB: Meanie? I'm sorry who is this
HB: Haha
Me: Jim, silly
HB: I know haha
HB: Just had to be a "meanie"
Me: Well played... Brett got you safely into the driveway I assume (dude couldn't parallel park for shit)
HB: Yep I am home
Me: Great! Well good night. I was just about to pass out too haha
HB: Night night!

I know this is rambling, but feel free to critique anything you see. I'm all about learning.

I definitely plan on hitting this girl up, but I'm not sure the plan of action. I was thinking Saturday night would be good for trying to get her out alone.[/b]
