Last night my buddie and I were walking home from a movie when we passed by an HB8 and an HB7. I used my "in the bag opener" (see the approach forum for details). I noticed that one was eating Jujifruit which I commented on. After she offered me one I knew it was on.

I then asked "besides eating jujifruits, what are you two up to tonight?"

Targets: "going to a bar, how about you guys (IOI)?

Me: "We were debating between heading home and going somewhere fun if it tickled our fancy"

Targets: "Would you like to join us?"

And off we went. Of course there was more banter than that to get to to jump, but it worked out well.

While at the bar we met up with another one of her female friends. This was one of the only sticking points of the evening. This girl was a biatchhh to the 10th degree. I was trying to not let her shake my internal reality by being nice but it didnt seem to work.

After a few drinks, a couple of their guy friends came. Mystery is really right when he says guys are just ugly girls. When you have any semblance of a game, the guys are no competition. To lower their competiveness level I just basically gamed them by trying to befriend them (when you lead the men, you lead the women).

So it was good times with lots of laughs and we of course exchanged numbers and they made mention a number of times of how fun we were and how we should get together again soon.

I have to be honest there were a few moments of silence which I filled in with some canned material (cube test etc.). But I really need to work on being talkative in those situations or you come off as boring.

On the positive, we were able to build trust and comfort early on and got some awesome field experience. I appreciate any comments.
