Last night. Yet another incredible night.
Went into the centre. I started state shifting on the train by asking this woman if I could read a leaflet from her girls magazine- started telling her what a fascinating read it was. And such a good deal too.
Bantered with people as the train was coming to a stop. Then I went to meet my friend in the centre and asked people for directions on the way-just to generally chat with people. I started to have fun with them after the first or two approaches. As soon as me and my friend met we started saying hello to everyone we passed.
Then we started talking to bar promoters on the way to the bar. HB8 & HB8. We got a good chat going and asked about how much they get hit on etc. Loads of kino and it was generally a fun conversation. They tried to get us to go to the bar but we said we’ll come down another time and they can introduce us to all the right people and get us free drinks-social proof.
Then we went to the bar and started working the room a bit, talking to everyone. We got a drink and sat down. There was a guy sat next to me and I complimented his outfit, I told him he was probably the coolest guy in the bar then did a lame magic trick on him which got a few laughs.
A barwoman walked past in a bowler hat and I asked to try it on. I said I’ve wanted to buy one for ages but not sure if I can pull it off. She said she thought I could. I told her I needed to walk around in it to feel comfortable. I told her we we’re going to do some role play as if passing in the street. I got up and walked to the other end of the bar. Then walked very esquire gentlemanly towards her and tipped the hat. She laughed as did my friend and the whole bar watched smiling. It felt good.
We then met another guy that my friend had met on a forum. He was a really cool guy. He clearly knew his shit and was happy to give us feedback on our approaches throughout the night. He blew me away once or twice with his approaches and closes.
We then headed off to a club and another friend joined us. We challenged each other to do approaches. We were getting blown out every time, it started to get funny. The pressure of someone challenging me was great though-just pulling the trigger and approaching and not caring if you fuck it up.
Noteworthy parts of the night were a number close, HB8 & a kiss close0 HB8 and a kiss close. One approach that could have gone terribly wrong was just before we left. Two set talking at the bar. Three second rule. I went straight in (thinking they were on their own).
I approached them, sort of from the side but it was a bit awkward as her friend ignored me initially. I said it was odd I was asking her and not a guy but that the last guy I asked told me to fuck off. I asked her if there are any good places to go in Bristol just to chill out and talk to people. (we both spoke about how the club had quite a few douchebags that night). She asked where I was from and I admitted Bristol but that I hadn’t been out since I was about seventeen and that I used to just get drunk and go to the superclubs but now I just want to meet people. It all just seemed a bit obvious that I was hitting on her. And about twenty second in, about five people turned around and just started looking at us- I didn’t realise they were with her-ouch.
A guy (BF) came out of nowhere and I quickly introduced myself and stated my business. He asked how old I was and I told him and he laughed- stating how many years I had on him. We all knew I was trying to hit on his GF. It was quite funny. I told him why I asked her and not a guy, blah blah blah and told him she wasn’t any help anyway because she’s from London-but he’d know better than me-he laughed (good.)
He recommended a few places and I thanked him and ejected. It could have gone horribly wrong but think I managed to disarm the situation slightly. He also seemed a genuinely nice, tolerant guy. It’s nice to know not every guy wants to beat you to a pulp the minute he thinks you’re hitting on his girlfriend.
I also number closed a HB8 I passed in the street on the way home. She walked past and offered up some ridiculous eye contact. So I spun around and went after her and went in pretty much exactly like this:

A great night all in all. I’m texting Thursdays number closes today so I’ll let you know if anything develops. I feel like I’m starting to kill off AA with the approach challenges I’m sharing with my friend.
Would love to hear any tips or feedback.
