As the afterglow fades, I start to feel the familiar drop. Now my mood is dour and sad again, a common roller coaster we go through until we begin to reach consistency-but frustrating nonetheless.
Went out last night dressed in my best. Peacocking blazer with all black everything else. I need to add in a silver necklace to complete the look, if anyone has good recommendations for places to buy necklaces from, would love to hear.
Context: the venue was having a full moon party and online claimed there would be performers and fortune tellers.
#1
I'm walking to get a drink from the bar and spot a two-set. I decide to open with my chosen opener of the night:
Me: Do you know where the fortune tellers are?
The girl doesn't know anything about fortune tellers, but her friend says she is a fortune teller and asks for my palm. She looks at it and says I'm going to meet the love of my life in two days. I'm not able to hook, so before I get officially rejected, I bounce. I see them a few times across the night, but never reopen.

I enter the venue, go use the restroom, and as I walk out I see a girl standing by her lonesome near the entrance. I go up and body rock open, with the opener. She does not know about any fortune tellers. I tell her how I came to the venue tonight because they were advertising fortune tellers, and I was very excited about it. I do manage to move her a few steps away by saying it's too loud, but while isolating, I think I started talking faster and displaying less control. I need to remain calm and maintain the slow cadence of speech even (especially) during transitions and moments like that. Her friends eventually show up, and I don't see myself getting invited to join them on anything, so I leave and tell them I'll catch them later to avoid the official rejection.

I spot a girl in a red two piece dress. From the corner of my eyes I spy her looking in my direction a couple of times. She also is glancing around the venue much more than her friends. This seems both like an AI, and like the girl is looking to meet someone. I quickly order my drink, then I walk past her and deliver my opener. She's not immediately biting, but the above signs I noticed indicate to me that I shouldn't body rock and leave. I eventually do hook, I believe I did some good emotional stimulation that causes this. She fully faces me, and her back is now to her friends. I kind of screw up-I realize that the way I'm introducing the good sex gambit is not the best. I'm too descriptive when I talk about how most men only think about sex. I usually introduce it by talking about how guys in the men's bathroom are all looking to "tap that" or "dump their load", but I think it would be simpler to just shrug and be like, "Yeah, it's kind of pathetic how much guys think about just sex". I think that's both more smooth, and would lead to less resistance.
I change subjects after that mishap, and as I'm talking to the girl, some random dude comes up to me and compliments my blazer. I try to say thanks to him, and then he keeps trying to compliment my blazer. I engage him for too long, and the girl turns her back to me to start talking to some new guy her friends are talking to. I need to be more of a dick to other guys, especially when they interrupt me.

I see some other PUAs in the venue, and talk to them a bit in between sets. One of them pushes me into a set with a decently cute girl while his buddy is focusing on the girl's friend. I don't really mind, as she's cute enough for me. She is extremely warm to me off the bat, and there's some playful teasing mixed with some quick deep diving. I move the four of us to a table and start talking more intimately with my target. I use the purity gambit and go through 4 of the 8 orgasms routine. Along the way I also qualify the girl on sexual openness. It's going well, she's accepted all the frames, and seems interested in the 8 orgasm gambit (the tone I use during this part is informative, as opposed to arousing, because I don't actually want to spike the girl right now-whether I did spike her is a different question). When introducing the 8 orgasm routine, I proxy into it by asking her what her craziest experience at a bar has been. She starts telling a story, where it's very clear that she's talking about how we met. She says she met a boy (I tell her he sounds attractive, and she says very). She asks me the same question, and I play the same game back, but I say the ending is still a mystery (I didn't want to sexualize the ending, because I felt that I'd already set a sexual frame, as well as the fact that I was about to use the 8 orgasms routine made it feel that the direct sexual interest would have caused either ASD or FSC). I need to use the restroom at one point, and I tell her to watch my drink, to which she says she's 100% going to roofie it.
I honestly thought this girl was locked down, but when I get back, I talk to the girl for a bit longer, and then she says she needs to use the bathroom. I tell her I'll return the favor on her drink, and she laughs, then she and her friend go to use the bathroom. Turns out the guy I was with and his girl were not hitting it off. I figure the girls are doing girl talk, and decide it makes sense to wait for a decent bit for them to come back. I also figure that because my girl left her drink behind, she would come back, but they never did.

Another PUA opens a girl as she's walking to the dance floor. This leaves the girl's friend, a real cutie in a floral dress, available. I open her, and start talking. She turns to fully face me, and we talk a little bit. It at times hits the beats of emotional stimulation, but never reaches anything sexual in frame. The PUA leaves, and the girl's friend comes and stands right next to us, just on her phone, but leaving us in set. I continue talking to the girl, but don't break circle. I eventually tell my girl that I need to grab a drink, and that she should come with me. I think this was badly calibrated, because the direction I was facing implied I was walking the other direction of where she had been walking to. The girl says she needs to stay with her friend, but it was nice talking to me. I later see them, not on the dance floor, talking to other guys.

This last one I'm really annoyed by. I'm chilling at the bar, it's close to 2-2:30AM. I see a girl glance at me, more than a few times. I really need to be better about holding eye contact with girls who make eye contact with me, and then also smiling. Right now, I'll either break eye contact, or hold it without smiling (creepy).
This girl comes up to me, and asks if she knows me. I have no recollection of ever meeting this girl, though I must admit something about her seems familiar. I ask her name, and in my memory, I've only met one girl with her name, but I have no idea when, or where. This feels like it has potential, but I get overeager about figuring out how we know each other, and as a result I start talking faster, start talking in a higher pitch, etc. I do try to move the girl, but we end up next to her friends. The girl says they are all about to leave, so I go to grab her number, and I can almost tell it's a fake. The lack of response adds to this as well.
