Hello everyone! From now on I've decided to post more specific field reports (mostly Night Game), so I can get some general and specific feedback from other, perhaps more experienced and skilled PUAs around here. I'm not an expert, but having been in actively sarging for almost a year, I think I'm well past the beginner stage.
Anyway, moving onto this particular FR. I went out last night with a friend of mine, to an event most popular in the city during the weekdays (Wednesday), outside of what happens on Fridays and Saturdays. I've been passing on some pick-up wisdom to this friend and he's gotten better at helping me and being more social himself. He's a good dancer though and traditionally he'd use this to get attention.
Anyway, I was probably feeling better than usual (vibe and state) and we go outside to the large, back smokers area, and we're already into a set after I sit down near a group of HB8 girls. The one directly beside me winced in pain, so I said "What happened? Are you okay?" and she said she just accidentally hit her elbow into the wall behind her. Before I knew it she was telling me about her past injuries, showing marks on her legs, so I took this chance to tease and kino a bit.
My friend occupied and talked to the one standing up, and then we slightly negged and commented them on their very high heels. All in all we'd come in smoothly under the radar, but things ended a bit abruptly when some other friend (a guy) came along and they all went off to dance. Anyone have any effective contingencies for this kind of thing? Oh, and I forgot to mention that before this, we'd already run into some other friends we met (and really got along with) another time, who we hung with outside and gave us some social proof. Then I ran into another girl I'd met before, but she was working doing some promo stuff.
My friend and I got into some dancing and had random interactions with people, but the best sarging effort of the night happened when he went off to boogie, but this time I stayed outside and found myself chilling with a group of people. Heck, I think one of the dudes opened me for some reason. We had a bit of banter going, and I would have left, except one of the girls in this set became my target (HB8). She was clearly more attractive than the others, but I started testing for integrity and warmth of character, by slowly turning my attention more towards her without showing too much interest (for example not facing directly). Kino then came in the form of arm touching, subtle lower back/side touching and hair touching at some point. Well this seemed to work because more IOIs started coming like longer eye contact, talking and asking questions when I stopped, and giggling and smiling since I was joking around a bit.
Then I realised isolation was needed, so I casually suggested getting a drink and she complied... which I think says a lot because she'd apparently been away for a while and hadn't seen these other friends for ages. So we went inside, BOUGHT OUR OWN DRINKS and I kept leading her to sit down, all the while keeping things fun and lighthearted. Well we started talking again, I put my arm over her shoulder and noticed she was doing that triangular gazing thing. I did the same, but held off a bit because I didn't want to seem too eager. Then a bit later leaned in even closer then straight into making-out with no objection, which started a talking/k-close cycle. At one point I got my phone out, not meaning to number-close yet but she grabbed it immediately and put her number in. Then I was just like "oh, good idea" and grabbed her phone and put my number in.
Remembering that I pretty much always get flaked on, I realised I should take this high buying temperature opportunity to get the thought of a Day 2 firmly etched into her mind, letting her know I want to hang out again instead of just hooking up this time. She was free anytime next week, but again not too seem too eager I pretended to think and say "I'll have to check and see when I'm free, then I'll text you". Then one of her guy friends came and I excused myself to leave and find my friend. Keep in mind this is very rare for me, but obviously through practise you become more comfortable and calibrated in these kinds of situations.
As for any other sets opened afterwards, when I was looking for my friend I did the old "have you seen my friend?" opener on two girls standing outside by themselves (both HB8), who were fairly lively and chatty, then my friend came and we all hung out and danced together. We soon found out they're both lesbian (but just friends), and one of them said she's a stripper (even though she's 18 )... but hey, extra social proof is extra social proof. Later we opened another two set (HB7 and HB8) by just saying "Hey, how's it going?" and they were friendly but we didn't hook and they scurried off minutes later.

tee hee". To which I responded "if I'm lucky... says the one who gave me her number before I even asked for it", which had a good response.
