Ok, so I'm new to all this. I read "the game" a few months ago and after my initial enthusiasm did nothing to improve my skills (mainly due to a pathologically desire to succeed in something totally unrelated).

So tonight I'm out at a bar with the works xmas bash and I start getting eyes from a fairly hot/cute blond (complete with fuck me boots). And guess what, all openers I learned abandoned me. Despite this after a while I managed to talk to her, playing it cool. So cool in fact that while I was looking the other way and acting like she wasn't "all that" my mate jumps in and gets chatting (credit to him for getting in there, though he was unaware of the situation) next thing shes left and I thinking about what a twat I am.

Ok, its a rant but then I am a bit hammered. The moral of this story is:- If you are new to all this then get out there and do it, don't waste even 1 chance you get with an HB. If I'd been sarging for the last few months I wouldn't be sat here typing on a forum, I'd be with an HB 8, doing the bad thing. The world is your lobster, go and cook it.
