FR: Lone wolf on a saturday night

I went out last night by myself. None of my friends wanted to go out but I didn't want to stay home and waste a saturday night.

I hit one of my favorite bars in the city. I was in a pretty good state, walked around the block once and warmed up on a bouncer and two girls on the street.

There were two sets that were of interest the whole night.

The first, a 2-set that I met almost immediately after I got there. She, HB5, was sitting on a stool and looking at messages on her phone and I opened situationally. I felt a bit awkward as I had not much to say. I qualified her by asking her to tell me one interesting thing about her. She said that she had 2 kids, which completely threw me off. I made an awkward joke, wasn't funny, then plowed past it (I should've rewarded her instead, in retrospect). Her friend, HB6, came back with the drinks and I introduced myself immediately and talked to her for a bit. Then I eject.

I caught up with them later at the bar, in a much quieter place. So I was able to run a bit of connection. HB5 asked me to tell her something interesting about me. I told her I'm taking flying lessons and told her the story of how I've always wanted to be a pilot since I was a kid. Then HB6 came and she told me that she moved to Seattle on a whim after college. I tried to amplify, qualifying her as adventurous, etc.

The second set, HBnaughty (8) was wearing booty shorts and glasses. I immediately commented to the group that she looked like a naughty school girl. The group laughed and HBnaughty thought that I was with the group to begin with (it turns out she and her friend just met the guys). To her friend, HBblonde (7.5), I commented that she looked like Britney Spears, and she was a bit annoyed, saying "why does everyone say that?". I didn't know how to handle that at the time, so I just left it.

Then I lost the set. The other guy, who was with a larger group and was talking with them earlier, came in and hooked the set. HBnaughty was kinoing him. I introduced myself to the guy and we got the girls to the dance floor but they walked the other guy around in a circle and came back out. I got confused and since the set wasn't hooked to me anyways, I dropped out.

Both sets called me out, asking who I was there with. To which I had no good answer. The first set, I just lied and said that I had friends coming. The second set, I grabbed HBnaughty and said, "I'm with you baby..." and she laughed. That's probably when I lost the set, come to think of it.

A few things in summary:

+ a little rapport goes a long way. The first set remembered me after the rapport session, and I ended up dancing with them on the dance floor a bit later. But since I didn't run attraction successfully, nothing came out of it.

- I don't know how to pick up large sets on the dance floor.

- Need to push the naughty school girl thread a bit further: "you look like you just stepped out a porn movie..." etc, lots of material to work through there (she was wearing a pearl necklace for godsake).

- Handle negative reaction better. She: "why does everyone think I look like britney spears?" Me: "because it's true... honey, get used to it. You're not wearing underwear right?..."

- Handle being called out at a bar alone. Maybe I should just come clean: "yes... I'm here by myself... (grin) easier to have a ONS that way (wink)."

Next time I'm going to try harder to look for wings. Since I'm still new to the community, I'll have to find a few guys to go out and practice with.
