Saturday night:

I send texts to tri girl, goody girl, and colombian girl to meet up with Tbone and I downtown to have a good time. All three text back either on the fence or positively. Tbone and I head downtown early, like 730. We grab food, I lay down some ground rules, girls that I bring are off limits, but girls that they drag along are fair game. I also tell him colombian girl is fair game because I have no clue who she likes. After we eat and drink a bit, colombian girl texts and flakes. Goody girl arrives around 10:00 and meets us near blind pig. She's cool, and we get started joking around and teasing. She gets a mojito and gets started drinking. We bounce to where tri girl is, the whiskey. Along the way goody girl keeps trying to slyly ask if I want to bang tri girl. I play it cool. We arrive, get more drinks, goody girl and I are sitting close and flirting, tri girl was there with 2 AFC guys. We are all joking around and having fun, but as goody girl gets drunker she gets less and less cool. Jokes start offending her and she starts acting more and more entitled. Tbone accidentally insults her trying to joke around. She throws down a dance challenge. Well! Ok, can't back down from that. We bounce to the square, leaving tri girl and her 2 AFC guy friends.

We enter rec room, and we walk towards the dance floor. Goody girl runs into a guy she knows, so I leave and go around opening some guys and some girls. Goody girl starts dancing on the floor, despite her bragging that she's been dancing for 15 years (tap, jazz, etc.) she's got like 4 dance moves and dances like she's trying to show off. Tbone and I dance a bit too, getting into the groove. We open rando sets. We then move outside. Goody girl keeps complaining that we keep leaving her behind, despite her just talking to rando guys. What do you want us to do, sit there and wait?! We get to luscious, get more fruit drinks, she gets drunker, and more annoying. She starts opening guys, and starts getting more annoying each time we leave her. We all hit the dance floor, Tbone and I dance up a storm, having fun with the other girls and this other guy there. We go outside, sit down, and chat with some of the people we dance with. I chat with a natural guy and a girl that seemed to be all over him, who gave me some kino and attention when I mentioned I was from Boston (she was from there too). She told me she liked my red shirt and that all the girls were woo'd by my dancing. Goody girl starts bragging that she was in dancing nationals or some shit in Florida. We bounce to the square, go to Bondi. We start dancing, goody girl grinds with random guys. She keeps telling me she wants to find a cute guy and how she wants to get laid. Ugh. At this point, I'm so turned off by her behavior I tell Tbone if he wants to fuck her he should because I was totally not into her anymore. He agrees that she is annoying as shit. She's being led to the dance floor by another rando guy, I leave and start opening sets on the street, some guys and some girls. Tbone finds me a little while later. I tell him I'm kinda done and that I'm gonna catch the drunk bus home. He agrees. I text good girl to tell her. She calls and acts all indignant that we left her. I just ignore that and tell her to find us. She does, and she complains. I don't give a shit. We catch separate drunk busses home thankfully. Lol.

I wake up and call colombian girl. She doesn't pick up, but calls back a little while later. Ask her if she wants to grab lunch. She says yes. I drive downtown to meet her, and we have a great lunch conversation. She's laughing a lot, we talk about both deep subjects and just joke around. I tell her about last night, she finds it hilarious. I also tell her about tri girl and the 4 guys trying to bang her hahahaha. She slyly asks about how much interest I have in both goody girl and tri girl. I mention that I thought goody girl was cute and all but once she drank some she turned into a bitch. All attraction ended there. I mentioned that I thought tri girl might be interested in me. I also mentioned how HB ex-mormon was into me (they met the night colombian girl came out with Tbone and me). I neglected to mention that we boned. She told me about how she made out with a rando guy in one of our running clubs when she first got here, but how things got weird because he got weird. Also how she talked to a guy at a party and he randomly asked if she wanted to see his ass. lol. We get to her place after, and play music on her porch for a couple hours (I brought my guitar) while drinking. She gives me a house tour. After that, we go inside. Her roomate's bf is watching avengers, so we sit down and join. Colombian girl sits down on a separate couch thingy and mentions that I can sit there too if I want. I do, after getting some water. We sit right next to each other, arms and hips touching, but she's leaning away most of the time. I try both open and closed body language, but she doesn't look at me when we talk, she just watches the movie, so no sexual tension is built. I think about escalating, but the vibe isn't right, I can tell that she isn't comfortable, and there is another random guy in the room. After the movie, I mention I had to go, she walks me to my car. She gives me a hug, but she gives it awkward butt out style. I head home and try to think about whether I should've tried to kiss or not. I didn't do too good of a job physically escalating because of how much verbal rapport we had, if the other guy had not been there I definitely would have tried. I'm probably friend zoned, but I'm not totally sure. We will find out, I'm not totally invested in her either, but if the mood is right I need to physically escalate from now on.

Pros:
Making more meaningful connections with colombian girl
Don't give a shit about goody girl
Might still be going out sometime with tri girl

Need to improve:
Need to not be afraid to physically escalate, which is harder with girls I actually have a good connection with (colombian girl)

Would appreciate any feedback on my text interactions

_________________
My Pick-Up Journal

Dude sorry you are in the friend zone. Like deeeeeep in the friend zone.

You are too available. Asked her out on Saturday, asked her out again on Sunday, spent all afternoon with her, then initiated another convo that same night. Besides physically, it doesn't sound like you escalated verbally either. A good opportunity would've been at lunch when you were talking about past hookups-- you could've future projected or planted the seed of you two together. Like when you were saying Mormon girl was into you, accuse Colombian girl of being into you too. Assume attraction. When she denies it (playfully, hopefully), you can just be like "It's okay if you're shy, I think you're cute too... Too bad you're such a dork." (But that's also just kind of my sense of humor, I like to be super blunt and potentially make things awkward. At least I'm making my intentions clear). Another opportunity would've been at the end of your chat when she talked about sitting in the back in your van... "Are you going to try to make out with me?"

As for your text game.... sorry to be harsh again, but it's awful. lol. Sorry. Strategically, I think text/chat should only be used for logistics, or to rebuild enough attraction/comfort to meet up. You already have comfort with her (and already spent the day with her), you don't need to be having long chats on Facebook afterwards. Avoid using hahas, lols, smileys, exclamation marks, baby talk, etc. (Yeah it's weird, I use them when texting guys, but never with girls). Makes you sound like the gay best friend instead of the cool guy that's going to bang her. Just think what would George Clooney text a girl? If she says something genuinely funny, make a statement about it instead: "You're funny", "You're a wiseass", "You're trouble," etc.

(Edit: the idea of recording a song about her ex and singing it to him was really funny. But again, the whole chat was unnecessary since you just saw her. That would've worked even better as a random text a couple days later to transition into meeting up again.)

At this point, you can either try to make her your GF or just remain good friends. There's no in-between casual option anymore, since you've already built such a strong connection. Personally, I think a friendship with her is more valuable to you at this point. But in either case, I would be unavailable for at least a week and see if she chases you.

No worries bro, thanks for the feedback. You're probably right about the friend zone. Just a quick update: been doing some social circle stuff with a couple friends, mostly just hanging out, not a lot of game. Monday-Wednesday I've taken off, which is a big change from all of June. I'll write about the last couple days soon, gonna go back out in the field tomorrow night.

Gaming against the shield on plenty of fish:

Me:
Hi! You're cute and into sci-fi. I think I'm in love already. I had to Google Shibari to figure out what that was, just to clarify: am I tying you up or are you tying me up?

Her :
Haha, ballsy. Neither, considering this convo is already over. Bye.

Me:
Wow, how weird is it that someone is confident enough to put that on their profile but doesn't have a sense of humor?

Her:
You're not funny.

Me:
My mom thinks I'm funny
(credit goes to squattincassanova for the inspiration behind this response, he responded to "you're ugly" from a girl with "My mom thinks I'm cute")

Her:
Bye.

Me:
Were you born this unfun?

Her:
Dude, you came at a stranger with a sexual proposition, and guys always claim they were joking when they get called out on it. It'd be different if you simply asked me if I like to the tying or to be tied. So yeah, you've brought out the unfun side of me. And probably others too.

Me:
Dude, read that first message again. Does that sound like a sexual proposition or does it sound like I'm goofing around? If you prefer, we can start off boring instead: Oh, you sound cool. Do you like to tie or to be tied?

Her:
Let's just cut our losses and quit wasting time on one another.

Me:
But I really think we were made for each other

Her:
I get that I didn't give you the response you wanted. But you're being so childish, even without the whole shibari thing I have no reason to want to talk to you. I'm not here to pick fights and see who can hurl the more stinging comeback. Take care and good luck on the site.

Me:
Oh no, I actually enjoyed your responses, they were a lot more fun than I expected. I just found the whole shibari thing new and funny

Her:
Cool, glad we can conclude on a positive note then.

Me:
I don't think we can, your scathing insults have left a hole in my heart

End of interaction

Self amusement and persistence to game past the wall. Unfortunately, did not succeed. As long as she kept responding, I took that as a sign to keep gaming. Any comments / suggestions welcome, trying to develop my online / text game

After taking Sunday - Thursday off, Tbone and I hit the scene on Friday. It felt good to take the week off, as I had been going hard all the way through June. I focused on getting sleep, getting work done in the lab, exercising, and some online game. Also, had a lot of social hangouts (bike riding, food, and hangouts with friend social groups)

Hate to admit that I had a little bit of one-itis with HB colombian. After our long hangout on Sunday she texted me some on Monday, then I texted her on Tuesday and called on Wednesday night to invite her. I definitely got too chasey, and it's weird, even though I knew I was doing it I still did it. Gah stupid AFC brain.

Thursday's run with the meetup group went well. HB colombian didn't respond or call back to my call wednesday night, and when she sees me she waves, I wave, smile, and she comes over and apologizes about the call, giving some excuse about being sick. Whatever. I socialize after the run, and build up great social proof and value again. She is seeking my attention, everyone in our group is laughing at my jokes, and when I get up to leave, she's like "you're leaving??" and I'm like yeah I'm going to grab food. She's like, "You're grabbing food?" lol. I leave, dangling the hook. I wanted her to call or text to try and join, I thought she would because I could definitely feel that she wanted to, but she didn't. C'mon girl, you can take initiative once in awhile!

Friday Tbone and I hit old town again. We grab food, chat a bit, head to Primadona C's (male) place. We socialize there, one girl gives me a lotta signals, but I was kinda not diggin on that. We head downtown. I open two Asian girls on the street playing piano. They were laughing at everything I said. We go to Blind Pig, I open another 2 set. We go to Luscious, I open a 3 set. It goes well. Tbone joins in. One of the girls gushes about how attractive I am. We pull all of them upstairs to dance (He initiates the pull). We all dance, the girl Tbone is dancing with flashes him a ring lol. We own the dance floor. I dance a little dirty with Blonde girl (kinda fat) that said I was attractive. Tbone dances and makes out with a short hair girl that was also a little fat. As I was leaving I put my hands on the shoulders of an attractive girl to move her out of my way. She immediately turns, smiles, and puts her hands on my abs. Don't know why I didn't stop, but momentum just kept me moving. We exchanged a look. I went back in later to look for her but couldn't find her again. Chatted a bit with blond fatty. Tbone and I flirt with engaged girl. Then we both peace.

Tbone and I identified my biggest sticking point right now. I open and attract with a great, fun vibe, but I am not consistently being physical and / or escalating in a sexual manner. I come across as a really fun, happy guy, but I don't come across sexually. I am still uncomfortable being super touchy with girls, even when I know they are into me. I need to fix this by practicing changing the vibe to sexual once I know it's on, but most of all just becoming more comfortable touching girls. Super touchy. Hugs, arm across shoulder, all that stuff. I am able to do this stuff, but I'm not consistently comfortable doing it. Only way is to keep doing the uncomfortable until it's comfortable. I also don't sexualize verbally as well as he does, like, "You can't stare at me like that other people are here," or "We are gonna have great sex tonight," so I need to be able to sexualize verbally while keeping it playful. All in all, a good lesson, and I at least I know what I have to work on, so I can keep getting better.

My Pick-Up Journal

Saturday night:

Went to Artsy Girl's (HB 4 w BF) birthday party. She's from the lab I worked at. Huge group of people. I come in, sit down, they are all in a circle playing kings. The girl that I banged last week was there. I put off a good dominant, fun vibe while playing, and just chill having a good time. Some other dude was hitting on HB ex-mormon lol. Skinny girl that I haven't met yet next to me keeps making points while poking my leg, seems like she's flirting with me. I play it cool. Didn't tease her as much cuz it was a big group interaction. But I should have. She had a ring on, and leaves after awhile. After kings, monkeylover bro (the hilarious guy that used to work in my lab and has a pet monkey) arrives, and MAN is his frame strong! He immediately comes in bringing a really fun vibe, spewing ridiculous nonsense and calling everyone a twat. He is also good at kino-ing the girls in a teasing manner. Too bad all the girls there were fatties, also most were taken. Still, I can learn a lot from monkeylover by absorbing his ability to just insult people in such a playful manner that they love it. Should invite him to more hangouts.

I also have a problem where when someone comes in with such a strong frame like that I lose mine and I stop adding value. I think I might be just a little awestruck. Need to figure out how to fix that. I call the night early, around 11:30 and head home since no game was there to be had. I'm reading and watching a lot of Jason Capital's stuff, and I really recommend it to you all, it's some good shit. Really trying to absorb his information on how to flip the power switch (buyer seller dynamic) and how to be a sexual threat. Also his 77 ways of making a girl want to fuck you. Anyways, we shall see.

Also, flirting with a girl over Tinder. Trying to test the waters by sexualizing the conversation early. She's cute, but if I lose it by going too far, then it's all in the name of learning. Peace playas

_________________
My Pick-Up Journal

What's up playas! I haven't posted in a looooooooonnnngg time but fear not, as I have not stopped working on improving myself and my communication skills this entire time. I plan on posting in here again more, but from a different perspective. The reason I stopped posting last summer over 5 months ago was because there was a big change in how my game was developing. I had acquired a lot of skills through my pickup and cold approach, and I was grateful for the work I put in there, but I still had trouble with escalation. After listening to a lot of Jason Capital material (the best coach in the industry, by far) I switched over to social circle game. I built a badass social circle (almost all beautiful, cool, fun girls) and now always have fun social events every week. Social circle game is about a zillion times more awesome than cold approach game. Pre-selection is automatic, attraction is automatic, and it's faaaaaaaar easier.

I ended up dating a girl I'll call music blonde for a couple months. She was super cool, had a cute face, a little bigger than I was used to, but fun, funny, and talented. She got needy and I ended up breaking up with her and then started dating a girl I'll call road rage. Road rage was cool and fun, but also needy and often stressed out. She was also very physically attractive (8.5? 9?). I ended up breaking up with her too. Since I've left you last (July? August?) I've slept with 5 more girls in about 5 months (doubling my previous count), with a lot more girls chasing me and me having to brush them off. Currently, I'm seeing 2 girls (churchy music girl and pizza mohawk girl) with a couple more chasing me and also I'm sort of in love with that ex I was with for 5 years. She came to visit for a weekend and it went amazingly (long story).

As far as my game, I no longer call it game anymore because of how ingrained it is in me. I don't remember the last time I got a negative reaction. Every girl I talk to gets attracted to me. My internal belief that I'm more valuable than even 9's and 10's is rock solid. It's just who I am now. I'm always in a good mood, sparking fun, playful conversation (even with guys) with total strangers, and also no longer have any problems escalating. It's been a long tough journey this past year, and I've grown more than I ever thought possible. The biggest person I can give thanks to is Jason Capital. That guy is a bauss. I've also started helping others out through coaching (both guys and girls). You'd be surprised how similar the principles are for girls gaming guys, it's mind-blowing. I still go out Friday and Saturday nights, but often now it's with a bunch of friends (usually a horde of girls).

My purpose for restarting the journal is to help me achieve my goals for the future:

Have multiple sexual partners that are quality women (beautiful, sexy, smart, confident, funny, fun). If any of them get attached or want more I'll just stop seeing them and give other girls a shot. Get my pick-up and cold approach game up to a point where it's automatic and easy, and use that to help me in my other goal:

Start coaching more and more guys to hopefully start my own dating advice / lifestyle coach company. I'm working on a website right now, and have done a good number of youTube videos to practice public speaking (look up BoomNingTown). Working on this stuff is hard while in graduate school for a PhD, but I'll work on it little by little each day.

For my other goals:
Keep growing my social circle more and more. Use that to meet more and more cool people. Make actual connections with people, and connect with them enough to develop many close friendships.

Black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

finish my PhD in 5-6 years.

I'll still be writing field reports and updates on my life as well as giving you guys some juicy-ass stories from the past 5 months. Hope you all will enjoy and learn!

My Pick-Up Journal

I think since August I may have done 3 cold approaches...! From January to August I must've done over 500. Now, girls always just get introduced to me or I do a cold approach to demo for my friend who is trying to improve (I'll call him the Prodigy). My inner game is strong enough now that I get a strong, positive adrenaline rush doing these and don't feel the approach anxiety any more, which is great!

Prodigy is great! He doesn't bitch out on approaches even though he is just starting, and he practices everything I teach him. He's approaching by leaps and bounds and will be great soon if he continues. I'll be heading out tonight, so stay tuned!

My Pick-Up Journal

2 interactions I just had:

Was walking through a hallway, a girl with a cart was blocking the whole thing. I put a smirk on my face and told her "You're blocking the ENTIRE hallway" In an accusatory voice. She giggled nervously, apologized, and moved out of the way. I kept walking.

A guy and a girl are looking at the fish tanks below my office. I point out one of the turtles and tell them, "This one's kind of stupid, sometimes he goes in the corner and floats upside down." They both look at me, smile, and laugh. I keep walking.

Both of these I didn't even think about, I just blurted it right out. Keeping in a friendly, good state the entire day makes that your default setting and just makes you a happy, friendly person. Not only is this good for cold approach but who wouldn't want to be in a happy, friendly mood the entire day?

Little interactions like this keep you in a great state the entire day, as well as work on your cold approach muscle. If I wanted to keep going with the interaction, I would just transition into some sort of cold read... "You guys seem new around here" for the guy and the girl or "You seem like a graduate student" for the hallway blocker.

Friday night:

After a hella training session at the academy, I shower, pimp up out with my swag, and meet Prodigy at Trailhead. I get there first, strike up a conversation with a random dude, who ends up being a weirdo, and he challenges me to foozball. It's on, gangsta. He's really serious about it and all so I let him win. Prodigy arrives, he starts off well, we play more foozball with 2 more random dudes. The vibe is friendly and light, and we jive with the people around us. T-bone arrives. More foozball. T-bone goes to take a shit, Prodigy and I do some reframe training, where we verbally reframe everything around us into something funny. He picks it up quick, his verbal skills are getting better quickly.

I spot runner brunette who sort of looks like a witch but is actually pretty attractive (a little bit crazy tho...), so I go approach her. In the fall, she was actually pretty into me but I wasn't into it because of how crazy she is (very validation seeking, etc etc), and now, she has herself a nice little boyfriend. We jive, joke around, and she introduces me to her blonde friend. I ask them if they're on the prowl and offer to introduce them to Prodigy and T-bone. She laughs, says she isn't, but wants to be introduced anyway. I wave them over. As I get introduced to witch girl's blonde friend, I tell the blonde she looks like a cross-fitter (she had some hella arms). She laughs and says no, she's a climber. Ah, them the breaks. We play buck-hunter, and witch girl kicks all our asses. Both girls are taken, and we move on. We get to Lucky Joe's, T-bone runs around opening some sets. One set he had opened last week and didn't even know lol. We try to push Prodigy to open a few, but he seems stifled and in his head. Approach anxiety and its deadly grips, y'all. I spot two girls looking bored, I tell him he should open or I can open. He tells me to go for it. I sit down, two pretty attractive girls one blonde one brunette.

"Hi" *smile

brunette "Hi"

"I'm Ning."

"I'm Hailey"

*playfully "You don't look like a Hailey"

"Really? What do I look like?"

*squints eyes, considers for a moment "You look like a Bertha. Should I call you Bertha from now on?" *straight-faced

*lukewarm scoff

A guy arrives, I shake his hand and we greet each other. *awkward moment* I ask him how they all know each other. He's dating the brunette. I laugh, stand up, pat him on the shoulder, apologize, and eject.

Felt no approach anxiety on this one, actually no anxiety throughout the interaction at all.

T-bone and I try to push Prodigy to open two women sitting down next to us, he declines. We move on to Yeti, a very loud place. I go to the bathroom, joke around with two guys while washing my hands. We meet a couple of T-bone's friends. T-bone opens a big group of girls behind us. I tell Prodigy to go around and compliment a guy on his shirt. He does it. Still too stifled to approach a girl. We move to Rec Room. At this point, I tell Prodigy to down some liquid courage. T-bone and I hit the dance floor and show off some moves. Prodigy joins for a little bit. I start having more fun and yelling and barking n shit. After a bit of dancing, Prodigy wanders off. I take a lap around later and spot him talking to a girl next to the bar. Hell yeah! We chill for a bit, wait for him to finish, ask how it goes (friendly convo) and then we bounce. Blind Pig next. We grab a table. Prodigy starts debriefing us on his night, tell us he doesn't know why, but he just doesn't feel the motivation like he did the first couple nights when he just started, and is having trouble approaching. We tell him it's normal, and he's making a ton of progress. His conversation skills have improved, and his flirting has improved. Last weekend, there was a night when he was in state after he talked with some of my female friends and got a number, and he was spitting gold every where. It's all about the state and the belief, boys.

We talk about how to put him in state better, which involves warm up activities and starting off the night with smaller, easier approaches, like talking to guys and high fiving random people. He still has that social anxiety, where he worries what people think of him. I tell him that EVERYONE is thinking the same thing about themselves, and no one is actually judging him, and to prove my point I yell loudly, "I LOVE PENIS" several times. Some people look over, but basically no one bats an eye. Hilarious thing is Prodigy tells me he feels anxious every time I did that cuz he was worried that people would look at HIM. lol. I tell him he should cut himself some slack, he did an approach, and he just started. Patience, young grasshopper, patience. I describe how social circle game is infinitely easier, and how the structure of that works (all my sexual partners in the last 5 months have been through social circle / online dating). Night ends there.

Pros:

More experience in the field. More experience coaching and figuring out how to help Prodigy.
Prodigy did an approach, understands himself a little better.
Did an approach, felt no anxiety.
Danced, had a fun time there.

Cons:

I would much rather go out with my social group (a ton of awesome girls) then go out and pickup girls. I hate it when the point of the night is to go out and pick up girls, which it often is with T-bone, and I would rather just go out and make the point of the night to have fun (when I go out with social group). The past 5-6 months every Fri and Sat have just been going out with my social group, having assloads of fun, and that was killer. This was one of the first nights out solely doing pick-up, and it's way lamer.

That being said, it's good practice for Prodigy to get out and do a bunch of approaches, get a ton of interactions in, and get his flirting game down. Social circle game is king, yalls. Check out the Social God program from Jason Capital.

BOOM dassit, y'all. More from this weekend to come.

My Pick-Up Journal

Great post. I too am beginning to see the merits of emphasizing social circle game over cold approach.

Going to check out Jason Capital and see if I can pick up anything useful.

Pizza girl mentions to me on V-day that she's going to be in old town on a longboard and that I should join her. She's sort of a hipster, skinny, with a blonde mohawk, and some soft blue eyes. Also, hella tall. Instead, I go to the academy, train, and then head down around 3. We meet up, and we're sitting in Alley Cat Cafe, where she's been painting and reading most of the day. I sit down, tease her about her art work, draw a picture of her while teasing her about being a terrible model, and make small talk. Brie Girl, a short and cute girl from a class I taught last semester, is sitting a table over and emphatically waves and smiles. I don't smile, look inquisitive, tilt my head, and wave back (my patented playful high status greeting). She laughs and walks over to me and pizza girl. It seems like she went in for a hug, but I don't get up. We have some light, playful conversation, I introduce her and Pizza girl together, and then Pizza girl and I leave to go get tacos.

After tacos, pizza girl and I walk through old town, bullshitting and eating cookies (not a euphemism). I hop on her longboard and make an ass out of myself. Somehow we start talking in accents. I have a bauss fake southern accent so I rock that all day, sounding like a hillbilly redneck. She has a killer fake British accent and keeps saying things are 'Rubbish!" and "Brilliant!" We visit the pet shop and run into theater girl, a hipster girl I have a class with this semester. We chat about our professor, she's skinny and easy on the eyes, but can't make conversation for shit. Pizza girl and I bounce back to her place to watch American Sniper. We lay all over each other on the couch, semi cuddle, and eat the rest of our cookies. Her roommates cook us stir fry, hell yeah! At this point I should mention Pizza girl and I have already slept together several times, and she's fantastically talented. I'm still meh about her in general, though. She's cool and chill and I don't get that needy vibe from her, which is great, but I'm not goo goo ga ga over her like I am with my ex, the one.

I tell Pizza girl I got invited to a Cricket World Cup party, and that she should join. We ride over, and hop into the party. My friend Indian comic is there, along with Colombian girl (used to be really good friends with her, now just friends) Road Rage girl (dated her for 3 months, we communicate a lot less now), some of Indian comic's roommates, Taylor Swift girl (dating Indian comic), Blonde runner girl (always texting and wanting to hang out with me, and physically attractive, but has a weird low voice that turns me off), Bratty girl (Taylor Swift girl's roommate, flirts with me a lot, and is attractive), Model girl (girl with model-good looks, we flirt a decent amount, she's got a long distance bf). Yup, this is why social circle game rocks. A plethora of beautiful women around me all the time.

A little awkward that Road Rage girl (my ex) and Pizza girl (FWB) are in the same place at the same time, but I honestly don't give a shit. I assume my normal loud, self-amusing, incredibly good-smelling self, and we all watch cricket. I'm trying to understand the rules and eat chips at the same time. More dudes arrive, I greet them all, some are pretty cool and chill. Blonde runner girl tries to get my attention several times. Model girl mentions that she needs a ride the next day to the laser tag event cuz she wants to get hammered. She asks if I can pick her up. I tease her about it, and then say fine, text me your address. Always be a challenge to girls, no matter how hot she is.

5 year ex the one girl calls. I walk outside to the hallway and pick up. We chat a bit, and she mentions how she's going on a date the next day with a dude she met on Tinder. I get no jealousy feelings whatsoever. Damn I'm a bauss. She mentions that she doesn't know if she can do this thing where we tell each other we love each other but we're both seeing other people. I tell her I understand, and that she should think about what she wants and let me know. I plan on marrying this girl. We can either do long distance and be exclusive, or we can stop saying I love you, maintain the friendship, and pick it back up later. There's a long long story to this one folks, I'll relay it to you later.

As I'm talking, Bratty girl, Pot girl (also in my social circle, I'm good friends with her), T-swift girl, and Indian comic roll by. I'm leaning against the wall, and Bratty girl runs her hand down my chest. Sigh, all the girls want a piece of this, I feel so used I head back in, and eventually a horde of the girls want head out to a singles V-day event in old town. Lol. They head out, and Blonde runner girl texts that there's an hour wait and that she sees ma boi T-bone there. I wish them luck and then watch the game a little longer.

Pizza girl and I start talking about past relationships. She tells me about her 5 year one where they moved to California together, then he cheated on her, and then he got married to the other girl. Ruff. I tell her about the epic saga that is the one girl, and how she mangled my poor little heart and how I rebuilt it into the titanium steel box that it is now.

We head out, I wanted to hit the bars, but she didn't bring her ID. We go to Alley Cat, play Battleship, and she spills another girl's coffee. I tease her about it. Too easy! I drive her home, she leans over and smooches the crap out of me before getting out of the car. If I invited her over I knew she would be down, but I seriously needed some sleep and been having a bit too much sex recently. As I try to sleep blonde runner girl texts the shit out my phone. I give some noncommittal short answers, and eventually ignore her. Happy valentines day playas!

Pros
I <3 my social circle. Organized a pot luck event in a couple weeks that's gonna be huge. Gonna invite new girls I meet to it.
Pizza girl is cool, not getting a needy vibe from her. I think she sense I want to keep it casual.

Cons
I'm in love with the one girl enough that I don't even want to have sex with other girls. It's a different kind of love though, where I don't feel jealousy or attachment at all. This is new. Is this a con? no clue. For a long time I didn't even believe in love anymore.

Sunday morning

Pot girl picks me up at 9. Prodigy backs out of the hike. We go to a meetup event where we hike Devil's Backbone with a handful of awkward guys, unattractive girls, one semi-attractive girl, and the awkward guy she brought. We hike, and pot girl and I talk most of the time. I joke around the semi-attractive girl who invited me to a Mardi Gras event. I ask her how it went. She tells me. I teach her how to take a panorama pic with her phone. Other than that the hike is uneventful.

Pot girl and I go to eat thai food after, invite some other folks. T-swift girl says she is coming, but ends up bailing. Pot girl drops me off at home.

Blonde runner girl is texting the shit out of my phone again, asking me if I want to "hang out". I know what that means, girl, behave yourself! I'll let you guys know how it goes later.

Sunday afternoon

Blonde runner girl picks me up to go to Target (wtf?). Pot girl is in the car. Blonde runner girl looks back at me in the backseat multiple times throughout the car ride to talk to me. We get there, I hop out, and I head to the books section while the girls go get their girly shit. Blonde runner girl comes over and pushes me while I'm reading a magazine. What a little flirt. I'm trying to concentrate, woman! We head to the checkout, I start speaking in a southern accent. In the car, blonde runner girl tries to keep the hangout going... "What should we do now?" Pot girl suggests checking out blondie's new house. We go. Blondie shows us her room. On the floor is a book titled "The Sex Bible"... along with handcuffs. I laugh, walk over and immediately pick it up and start reading it. I put on a serious face and flip through... "Fascinating..." Blondie is super embarrassed and says, "You must think I'm a nympho or something..." lol. They go meet the roommates, I joke that I'll just be here for awhile. We go meet the 2 male roommates. I sit down in a chair. Blondie comes over, and tells me an animated story about how she was on TRL and shook Jay-Z's hand. Cool story brah. Tell it again. Blondie drives us home. We talk about sex, sex positions, etc. The way to do this, guys, is very nonchalantly like it's completely normal to you, and to bounce off the subject and not to stay on it forever. Bonus points if you know how to self amuse and say funny shit ("No one wants pubic hair in their teeth"). Blondie drops pot girl off first, then on the way to my house complains about how there are no men with balls left in this world. I hear ya, honey. She asks me to come over on Thursday to help her put a shelf together. I say yeah, text me then I should be free.

To be honest, Blondie is pretty attractive physically but damn she is needy and validation-seeking, making her pretty unattractive psychologically. Maybe if I don't jerk it for a few days and get horny I'll invite her over and give her the gift of my cock. Stay tuned for the laser tag event tonight. Unfazed, out
