Hey Snipe u did great so I bow before the feet of the master, u don't need to add disclaimer in the slightest
I am really glad that I wrote up this detailed FR (when I should have been working) because you are right, there are lessons to be learnt here and your points are spot on, I missed them in the heat of the moment and due to having more drinks than I probably should have. I went out last night with my cousin who is into game and we hit several bars without drinking at all which is big improvement & what I should be doing.
I agree I should have talked to German chick more (instead of just getting physical with her) and that I should have persisted more with TC1 (or TC2 for that matter, she was also responding to me very well for a time). I am experiencing challenges with my shotgun opening style and hit-run approach, there is nothing wrong with this when used judiciously but when I do it it often leads to reduced commitment and poorer quality, shallower interactions. I might have done better by trying to deep dive one of these women for a while, though I'm also wary of doing that because if they have a boring job it would be a downer to introduce such a pedestrian topic on what is supposed to be a fun and light hearted occasion.
Thinking about it some more I think the correct strategy would have been to try and move both German chicks to another part of the dancefloor together, and to try to move TC1 to another part of the dancefloor by herself (since she was in a group of 3 and her friends could keep her company). I am getting good at moving girls and usually do so a few minutes into any one-on-one interaction (a voice pops into my head telling me to do so) but it takes balls to do this when they're with friends, I suppose it's not moving them and not wanting to be an orbiter that causes me to seek greener pastures and end up pingponging around all night. Thanks for helping me to see this.
As to HBBlonde I think you are right, I hadn't seen it as chasing but more as a throwaway interaction which I decided to push as hard as I could for practice, but it degenerated to a chasing vibe, I could have walked away and used my time more productively elsewhere (every minute matters near closing time). As to HBWraparound you're also on the money, I hadn't thought of applying the law of least effort here as I got caught up in the battle, investing hard, oops. I did try a version of what you suggested (switching to deep dive) but should have been more assertive about it and ditched the bar altogether.
No I wasn't dead set on driving people around, just I was kinda tired and had collected various rejections that killed my vibe a bit and was ready to throw in the towel... could have blown it off and let them get a taxi as they'd originally planned. One thing that was totally fucked about this party was "no pass outs", nobody could leave until close. This shafted me hard cos I wasn't that enamoured of my outfit, it was just a fun thing to wear to garner a little attention in daytime, I had another raver outfit and my normal GC clothes in car and I'd have been much more confident in those. Also obviously there was no chance of pulling to car or even pulling to apartment and getting them back before midnight (Rdawg style) so that's a factor why I dithered and put off pulling the trigger... fuck it. Oh well today is a new day
Did some night street game last night and met a total hotty, 20yr old Chinese chick just off the plane and staying for a month. We exchanged email as she didn't have SIM card yet and was sitting using free wifi in city centre when I approached. Conversation was friendly and platonic but OMG her sexy librarian look and sexy deep voice... supposedly we will meet for a coffee today, hope she does not flake. I was probably a bit beta in this interaction (pressing her about the date, saying "definitely?" and so on) and a bit over invested since I thought about her a lot... but we'll see we'll see.
Props on your NYE adventures Snipe, defo a good idea to go for the low hanging fruit. My battery critically low but I'll take a more detailed look later. Keep approachin'
