Challenge: Day 26 FR
Hopefully, none of you were going crazy waiting for me to update with posts, but these next 2 days should be pretty good and at least entertaining (I didn't have to work! haha)
The day started out kind of shitty considering I had to wake up mind-fucking early for my firm's quarterly meeting. The meeting was at 8AM and lasted until 11AM. 3 hours of sitting and listening to people talk. Not exactly my ideal morning. I'm not normally a coffee drinker, but I knew that if I didn't drink any coffee, I would embarrassingly fall asleep in the middle of the meeting. I even went so far as to dilute the coffee with half a cup of hot water since I know that straight coffee would fuck me up. Well, even a half cup of coffee diluted with half a cup of hot water still made me all jittery, but at least I got through the first part of the meeting. I had to have another diluted half cup of coffee for the second part of the meeting. My mind/body was all fucked up.
The stress from work + early morning coffee left me in a bad state to begin with, but then this was also the day that HB Tall (from the LR) was leaving to go back home to Chicago (and when would I see her again? not sure). She's a cool and fun chick and I liked hanging out with her, so I was a little sad to know she was leaving (and the fact I wouldn't be able to bone her again haha). At this point, I was in a totally bad state and wasn't even sure if I would go out at night even if I were to get out of work at a reasonable time.
Fast forward to the end of the work day and I'm exhausted. I had come down off the caffeine and my mind was exhausted. Plus, I was going to do some moving after work, so I knew I would be even more exhausted if I were going to go out. Just tons of negativity on my part.
However, after moving and eating, I felt i needed to get out and I wanted to go out and have some fun after a horrible week at work, so I decided to meet up with ch0n60, Ulysses, iC, and thee_jacas. Arrived at the bar and the crowd seemed pretty good. I was actually feeling really good and in a great state. I immediately started smiling and chatting everyone up. It was great to be out again.
So as I'm standing there talking to my friend who I also brought along, I see this really cute blonde HB 8 (let's call her HB Ring - I think she's engaged). She's looking over my way and giving me AI. Then this older, 45-50 year old dude starts to talk to her. They're talking and she keeps looking at me giving me more obvious AI, so I'm like fuck it, I'm gonna blow this old man out of the water!
Approach 1
D: "Hey guys, how do you know each other?"
Old dude: "Oh we just met. Is this your friend?"
HB: "No, I don't think I've met you yet. I'm HB. What's your name?" (IOI)
D: "I'm D. What's your name?"
Old dude: "I'm old dude."
D (partially turning HB away from old dude): "Hey, are you here with the birthday girl?"
HB: "Yeah!
D: "Awesome!" *high five*
HB: "How do you know her?"
D: "Well, actually, I don't, but my friend does, so he told me to come out here." (turns back to allow old dude back into the set) "So are you from around here?"
HB: "He's from Chicago."
D: "Oh yeah? What brought you out here from Chicago?"
Old dude: "blah blah blah. I'm a writer. I have 2 shows that will be playing. You guys should come out."
HB: "Yeah, maybe."
The whole time he was talking to me, HB was looking at me and smiling and giving me the "Thanks for saving me" eyes/look. So I would just smile at her in my flirtatious way. Also, I was kinoing her elbow, her shoulder all the time.
Unfortunately, I think HB is engaged (she had a ring on her finger), so she gets a call and has to step away from the set.
I bid adieu to the old dude, I back turn him to start talking to my group and I hear him go back and talk to his friends.
Old dude's friend: "how'd it go?"
Old dude: "Man, I just got cockblocked!"
Old dude's friend: "By who?"
Old dude: "That guy right there."
HAHAHAHA. I love it. Very Happy
Go out and smoke with another friend and start chatting up people in the smoking area.
Go back inside and my friend wants to get a drink, so I go to the bar with him.
There's a girl on her knees on the bar stool dancing around while her taller friend is standing next to her and dancing.
Approach 2
D (to taller girl): "OMG, how can you hang out with this chick? Is she always like this?"
HB Taller (not to be confused with HB Tall who left Sad ): "haha. We're just having fun."
D: "I can see that. That's good, you guys seem like the laid back type and not stuck up. Would you agree?"
HB Taller: "Yeah, we're totally not stuck up."
D: "Awesome!" *high five*
At this point, thee_jacas comes in and starts talking as well and we have a good thing going. Don't exactly remember what happened.
I go talk to my friend who is getting drinks and I kind of lose the set. thee_jacas is still talking to them. So after I get my drink, I re-engage. Lots of teasing going on. I call HB Taller a brat. don't remember what else, but the girls say they are going to the dancefloor and it was nice to meet us.
The rest of our time at this bar was uneventful and there were no other good targets. The group decides to go to Arsenal and try there. So we head out. On the way out, I re-engage HB Ring exchange pleasantries, but it doesn't really go anywhere and I bid her adieu.
Get over to Arsenal and it's actually kind of suckage. Not many targets.
Get a couple of drinks and just mingle with the guys.
Decide to leave and go to Busby's with my friend who I brought out since his roommate and other friends were supposed to be there.
Go to the back bar to close out my tab. Then this HB 8 Asian is standing behind me. She wants to order a drink. I forgot exactly what she said, but it went something like,
HB: "Yeah, close out your tab so that I can get to the bar to order a drink!" (She said it in a fun, playful, joking tone)
D: "Omg. You're such a brat! So you want to get in here? Alright..." (I just sit there and NOT sign my tab. Just to make her wait. She laughs).
HB: "OMG. haha. Hurry."
I just sit there. Finally sign it. Pretend like I'm leaving then sit in the bar stool and block the entrance so she can't get to the bar. She's laughing.
D: "I'm a little tired. I think I'm going to rest here for a bit." *smile*
HB: "haha. Noooooo."
D: "Fine, I was going to leave anyway." Stand up and let her get to the bar. (In hindsight, I should have stayed seated and chatted her up, but I was thinking about leaving since it was getting close to 1AM and we would need to get to Busby's soon to make it worthwhile.)
Make small talk. Get her name.
D: "So where are you from?"
HB: "Northridge."
D: "Wow, that's so far! (I'm not a big fan of closing girls who live more than 10 miles away from where I live anyway, so no big deal in not trying to make the interaction last longer) What brings you out here?"
HB: "oh, I came here with my friends."
D: "Oh ok. Well, it was nice meeting you. Have a good night."
Leave to go to Busby's.
Not much happened here. Just walk around, grab a couple drinks.
Go to the back bar to close out my tab. Chat up the really drunk dude who was at the bar.
Talk to the bartender. She puts her leg up on the well (the area where the cheap alcohols are kept handy).
D: "Wow, I like that. That's hot (referring to her leg up on the bar)."
HB: "Thanks. I know." *smile*
Chat about how she became a bartender, how she used to accept shots from customers, but no longer.
Doesn't really go anywhere.
iC and thee_jacas show up. Bar closes. We go outside. Smoke. Talk to some chick with a star tattoo on her chest above her heart. have her pull up my shirt to show her my tattoo. Chat about tattoos, but she says she needs to go find her friends to go home.
That was pretty much it for the night.
Day started off shitty and was in a bad state almost all day, but was able to turn it around.
Lesson: Even though you might feel like shit during the day or even at the beginning of the night, get yourself out there and you never know what might happen. Like Mystery (I think) once said, sarging cures everything.
Money owed ch0n60: $100.
