First night-The baseline
The Setting
Today was incredibly rainy. This continued into the night; however, i decided to go out anyways. Gamble and I met up outside Commonwealth (a local club) and walked over. Normally we don't wait in line as Gamble knows the bouncer, but as the line was short we decided to wait. It was pouring rain, which while making the wait a little chilly, also made it entertaining. There was this chap up at the front of the line acting all foolish. Being loud, using the back of the bouncer's jacket as an umbrella...that sorta thing
When we get inside it is dead. We check our coats, I grab a scotch, and we sit down while we wait for the club to fill. Right before we start to open, Gamble asks me what my goal for the night is. I tell him about my plateau, or what have you, and he tells me I just need to start escalating..okie doke
The sets
#1
The first set I see is this three set standing next to the dance floor. They are doing this pseudo dancing thing. I run over and open.
SW-"hey guys, you know the dance floor is over there" [grin and point to the dance floor]"shouldn't you be over there dancing?"[playful smirk]
The target responds while laughing. She says that its her birthday and does a little dance thingy. I tease her that she dances like a "white girl", then introduce myself to the group. I say Ive decided I'm going to make her more "black", put my arm around her waist and pull her in. She is laughing and having a great time. This seems like a high point so I take her hand and pull her over to an open area. I thought this would isolate, but the friends followed us. I decide to teach her to crip walk, but realize shes wearing heals.
At this point Gamble comes over, and I introduce him to the set. There are three of them so I name them "snap, crackle, and pop". He chuckles and mentions something about rice crispies. While he distracts the other two girls, I turn back to HB birthday and say "so back to you being hot", then continue on with whatever conversation we were having before. At some point I remembered this line I read somewhere, and decide to try it out "there's something...different about you". This is when I lost the set.
#2 (worst set of the night)
I see a two set and go over.
SW-"hey guys hows it going?"
HB-"good"
SW-"what you ladies celebrating tonight?"
I couldn't seem to get it to hook so I went to my back up. "hey, my friend and I are having an argument and I need an opinion on something...am I giving off a gay vibe?" (this line actually has a story behind it, an "incident", if you will. It will probably come up in a future FR...but not today). The girl gets this strange look in her eyes and laughs.
HB-"I met you before"
I chuckle and say it must have been one hell of an impression.
I have no idea how to salvage the set. Gamble comes in and attempts to save it, but its a lost cause. They leave.
#3 (the best set)
We are in the front area sitting on two stools. This guy with a girl walks past. The girl is stunning and totally my type. Short, curvy and blonde. As the girl is walking past I lean over and open her. I cant really remember what I said, more the vibe. It may have just been, "hey, hows it going?".
I tease her for being short, and talk about what shes doing here. We play "fuck, marry, kill", but I point out 3 funny looking guys. I take this opportunity to reach out and pull her in closer. My arm is resting on her lower back. When she responds I chuckle and say "so aside from having horrible taste in men...Whats something cool about you?". She responds that shes from _________. Again I chuckle.
SW-"That's sick...going to be honest tho. I have no idea where that is...I'm really bad with geography
"
We vibe some more, and for some reason I'm having no trouble with the kino. There was a point where I had really intense eye contact and considered going for the kiss. But the conversation was flowing and i couldn't think of a way to do it "smoothly" so I wussied out.
We exchanged numbers, and went our separate ways.
#4 (super direct)
Gamble and I are down stairs when we see another girl totally my type walk by. I sit there for a moment, then walk over to where she sat.
SW-"hey, I saw you walk by and I just had to come over and tell you...you look absolutely stunning tonight"
Said hey to the friends, gotta be polite
, then turned my attention back to the target.
SW-"So tell me, what do you do when your not walking around, tormenting men with your beauty" (not exact, but something similar to this)
We talk a little bit more, and I went for the phone number exchange. No dice.
That's all for tonight. I'm tired and going to bed. L8ers
