Yesterday, after a training class at work, a fairly large group of us decided to have an impromtu (sp?) holiday gathering. This morning, I'm not in the mood to make a long post, so I'll try to keep it as short as I can...I'm not sure how well it's going to work.

1) I was flirting with two of the waitresses (not at the same time). I am reluctant to say that I was gaming them due, largely, to the fact that each interaction started from casual conversation to them being "isolated" to the point that one of the owners came over once to ask one to pretty much get back to work. First waitress ended up getting moved to a private party on the second floor. Second waitress, spoke to her for a while (including about a half hour after the bar closed), failed to #close due to anxiety.

2) I caught a HB6 eyeing me at the bar, I opened her, instant bitch shield. I couldn't remember exactly how to disarm the shield, all I could come up with is "are you always like this?" She looked at me and said "Yeah." I replied "Well, that's why I didn't want to talk to you in the first place...but I saw you looking at me..." I didn't even wait for a reaction, I walked back over to my group and put my arm around two of my female coworkers. About 15~20 minutes later, I walked over to another part of the bar to speak to someone I know, the HB6 elbows me in my stomach and says "you know I'm just kidding," I didn't want to take the bait, plus I was over her, so I just looked at her and kept walking. But wait, there's more...later on, she pretty much walks straight up to me and stands there, not saying a word. I said "Hello?" then she gives me a shitty look and walks away...crazy bitch.

3) I opened a 4 set of 3 HBs and 1 guy. I spoke to the guy, but was paying attention to what the HBs were talking about amongst themselves. I forget what they were talking about, but they were FULL of negative energy and I just don't want any part of that...I give myself credit for trying.

4) I was speaking to a female friend of mine, at the bar, we had about 4-5 feet between us, but I thought we should be standing closer. I put my hand on her waist to draw her closer, she continues speaking, but knocks my hand away. I quickly look at her hand, while she is in mid sentance, make a 90 degree turn and start speaking to someone else. Within 5 seconds, she's playfully pushing me and pretty much begging for attention.

5)Approach anxiety still too strong.

Well, all in all, not bad, a little better than last time. I see improvements. I have introduced one of the guys I work with to MM, in hopes of getting a credible wing. He left early, I think that he F-closed, still waiting for an update.

I just wish that I could knock this AA, I think that I could do pretty well if it wasn't for the anxiety all together.

Oh, on a final note, one of the guys in our party tried to stiff the waitress on the tip. I AMOGd him into shelling out $40.

I am seeing the benefits of this type of lifestyle (for lack of a better term). The style of social interaction that we all study here bleed out much farther than dealing with women. It's a way to deal with people in general.

you know how you defeat aa? just go out and just start talking to people. talk to guys first if that helps you. but get in a rythem. sometimes i still get a bit of aa but once you go and open (refer to MM on how to open) it just slides in naturally.

Well done so far, you seem to be improving which is good. Remember taking little steps is sometimes better than taking a large step. Your confidence seems to be growing which is good.

I think it seemed a succesfull night, you managed to break down that girls bitch shield even if she was a bit strange but not to worry, ya win some ya loose some. At least you learned from the experiance which is the main thing!

Update: wing F-closed

Good gaming bro. Don't be afraid of the bitch shield, use my disarming technique (See post "how to handle an imeadiate shit test"). Bitch sheild girls seem to be the easyest to close after uget past that shield.

Personally im really starting to love bitch shield girls, last night I # closed a girl no one in the bar could get near. She blew everyone off. Kinda gives u that warm fuzzy feeling when u r able to close a girl like that.

U did the right thing bro, but when she kept coming back up to you i would have went into some instant kino with a hug "OK, I forgive you....just dont do that again!". Remember u r the man, no one is better than u and u can do anything u want.

Excellent on both points here. Actually, great job on the whole experience. Sure, the AA got in your way, but everything else you did was FINE. Don't worry about that 6. Not worth your time anyway. You handled her very well.

And I love how you handled the girl at the bar, turning away as a mini-freeze out, and of course it worked.
