Slow Night on V-day

Decided to head downtown last night to go talk to some girls. I don’t know if I’ve ever been out on Valentine’s night before - so I figured I’d give it a shot. But man was it dead. Everyone was probably home having a post- Valentine’s-date cuddle sesh. Makes me wonder how many of the girls out at night have boyfriends 🤔 hehe

Anyways, gotta make the best of it. Started at the country bar, which is the biggest by far. Did a couple of warm up approaches but my delivery was flat and they didn’t hook at all. Problem was I “warmed up” on the two hottest girls there - and there weren’t too many there at all. Decided to take a stroll down the street to a different venue to try and make the best use of time.

Also pretty dead. This one is usually hit or miss, but I know some of the staff and they have some great spots for isolation. Got approached by a drunk guy who was older and by himself. White European guy in business clothes at a hip hop club… was an interesting look. Ended up getting approached by even more drunk dudes, so I switched up my location in the bar.

Saw a group of three Latina girls, one who was particularly pretty holding a vape. I approached her from the side with “hey… are they pretty chill with people vaping in here?” while putting the back of my hand on her arm. I’ve been working on trying to make sure I have the girl’s attention before delivering my opener, whether it be with a hey, or some light kino. Or both - which seems to be working well.

She answered, I asked how her night was going, we vibed for a bit. Her two friends were having a conversation so I didn’t immediately address the group. Then some guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked “is that your jacket over there?” in the time it took me to turn, answer the guy no and turn back her and her friends were already walking towards the bathroom. Dammit.

Nothing better here so I moved to a third bar, bigger dance club.

Went out on the dance floor and vibed out for a bit. I gotta learn some real dance floor game one of these days, as this place is pretty decent. Went up to the bar and ordered a water. Blonde girl next to me is also ordering a water. I open with “hey… looks like we’re the smart ones in this bar!” she said that some guy was buying tequila shots for her and her roommate and that she didn’t want to get too drunk. We cheers’d our waters and instead of leaving she stayed there. Still inside my personal bubble. I decided to see if shed re-engage the conversation. My plan was to re-engage only if it looked like she was leaving. And sure enough, I get a “so, what do you do?” 😂

We talked about that for a bit, found out she’s a junior in college majoring in the STEM field. Makes sense as she seemed very logical, and it was often hard to turn the conversation away from logical topics. I got it to traveling, which is always good, as well as going to see live music and how it makes you FEEL. All the while I made sure to keep touching her (no resistance) and hold really solid, strong eye contact.

She seemed a bit worried about her roommate being off with tequila guy, so I used that to my advantage to talk about dating and social dynamics. Another nice breakaway from logical conversation. It became bar close and while I was joking around about how funny nightclubs look when the lights come on, I could tell she was still worried about her roommate. The vibe/logostics really weren’t there to pull, so I said “you seem really cool, do you have instagram?” And she said yeah! So I pulled out my phone and had her type in her @. I made sure to say “your name was Lexi, right?” and she hit me with a big smile and said “yes!” then she pulled out her phone and said “I’m going to add you back right now!” Not a moment later she spots her roommate and bids me farewell. I would have liked a little more time to solidify the contact, but I think there’s a decent chance she’ll reply when I DM her tomorrow. Will try and set up a date, she’s pretty damn cute.

Nice bro. Yeah, I think Valentine's itself is dead; I went out the day after and even in my shitty town that worked pretty good (though not perfect).

I read some of your other FRs and your openers seem pretty similar to mine, kinda situational in most cases. Do you have issues establishing a man-to-woman dynamic afterwards? Any specific tactics?

Any reason why you opted for IG? Mostly heard that sets you up for orbiting rather than sex (unless your profile is tight).

Hope she replies chief.

Now I know for next year 😂

Definitely find myself using situational openers more than anything else. And yeah, establishing the man-to-woman dynamic afterwards is something I need to get better at for sure. The ones I’ve lost have definitely been because it’s probably felt too platonic and friendly. I find that being really physical early on (start small and keep increasing), teasing and using some push-pull type stuff “I thought you were so cute until you said that… but now I don’t know *smirk*” works well.

I’m going to keep experimenting as I am not a huge fan of the old school opinion openers, or going super direct. But now that my fundamentals are pretty down I should spend a night going direct and see what happens.

My profile is tight. Very carefully crafted and I get a lot of engagement on all of my posts. I’ve found it an easy way to get some type of contact info, then DM to try and set up plans, then switch to texting. Haven’t found one to be significantly better or worse.
