So as I had put it in the "introduce yourself" area, I am recently back in the game after a 2 year relationship, and this was the first weekend out that I started to put myself out there...

I'm still working on my inner cofidence but this weekend definitely boosted it.....

Friday Night - So i went to a house party with a few friends. I didn't really know anyone so I spent the first hour or so with my buddies drinking a few beers. I spotted my first target, but she got picked off before I even had the chance to open (I DEFINITELY am not at the point where I can play the AMOG and pull it off) so I moved on. Spot my next target and move in. Set with 4 or 5 girls. Now I'll say that a few of my friends and I had this little drinking game we play (not important) but its all based on inside jokes. I openned by getting on her case about making me drink because 'she kept pulling a number 7'... this confused the hell out of her, but she was interested... hooked. So after 5 mins of getting on her case about this, we start exchanging basic info (name, school, major, etc, etc). This is where her friend comes in and starts giving me the third degree... so I decide to try and put to use what I've been reading. I started NEGing her and her friend left and right... it worked SO WELL!!! Got the number, ended catching up with her later in the night...........

Saturday Night - Not as good. Openned three or four sets mixed/non-mixed groups and closed on NOTHING. The conversation just kept drying up (this is definitely my WORST problem), or she had to go find her friends, etc. I also had friends from high school up here and they had had me drinking all night, so that def didn't help the situation. That one hurt the confidence a bit but w/e... next weekend can't come to soon.....
