I went clubbing wednesday night with my cousins and some friends since it was one of my cousin's birthday. I went to the mall late in the afternoon to get in the mood for gaming that night.

Early on i felt out of it since i noticed i was very tentative. When i got to the mall, i was going to do rookie mission which didn't turn out so well. Not because I couldn't do it but because i couldn't make eye contact with HBs. I'd look at them and they'd look inside the stores. Damn glass windows!

I got to the club around 10 to pay for our table reservation. When we got inside, We were the first and it didn't get crowded till about 12mn. There were some HBs but I couldn't get them to keep eye contact for a few seconds. I know I had social proof since we were about 12 in the group and half were girls and I was dancing with some of my cousins(not too close, that might be a tad awkward). I was also dancing with my cousin's officemate which is an HB8.5. Unfortunate though that her boyfriend was there but I did a lot of kino. I would've worked her if she were alone.

I was making eye contact with some cute chicks but they did not hold it long enough for me to know they were interested so i never approached. There was this other cutie, HB9, who's table was behind ours. She was practically the only one who held eye contact for about 3 seconds. However, i couldn't approach because their table was elevated and she was being blocked in by gay guys on each side. There was also an HB8 in front of me but like the other girls would not keep eye contact although we made EC around 3-4 times. What could I have done to open her and the other girls?

richrock... i would have made friends with the gay guys... they are people too ... plus, have you seen some of their female friends??? ... super hot... for the most part.

anyways, seems to me like you are not really doing bad. just get back out there and you will get confident enough to walk and open a set that's in between you and your target. One thing i have learned is to open anyone... not just the set where your traget is..

i hope that helps..

When it comes to picking up their friends gay guys can be your best friend or worst enemy. If you can win the gay guy you will most likely get the girl. Also, gay guys are awesome to hang out with, the things they say are fuckin hilarious!

yea actually i no longer have problems with gay guys in sets, so long as they don't hit on me. the thing that kept me from opening the set however is the logistics of the club. and i agree with you neurotico, it seems that ALL really hot chicks have gay friends. and yea papabear, they can be very funny(which we can use to our advantage haha)

actually night game is my strongest suit, i've had quite a number of f,#&k-closes before even when i haven't read any materials on pickup. but early this year, i stopped sarging and laid low until recently. reason being, one-itis. i just need to get back to having an abundance mentality and for sure it'll radiate my aura once more.
