I had enough of this anxiety crap, so I told the guys I was going to pee, then approach. I talked to a birthday girl for a few minutes, stacking even though I knew she wasn’t feeling me. Eventually I was locked out by them taking lots of pictures and me acting as a bystander. I left.

Shiz was smoking, which tempted me. I bummed a cigarette off him and we smoked outside. As soon as we were done, he said, we’re going to approach the first girls we see. I cheated. As soon as we got back in the bar, I approached the hottest girl I saw, a redhead with two Asian friends. I stacked until it was quite clear they wanted to get out of there. I let them go.

I found Shiz. He pointed out a blonde sitting by herself on a bench, saying he couldn’t go. I gave him five seconds to approach. He almost approached, so I went and talked to her. I stacked, but there wasn’t much compliance. I bounced her to the bar, we got our drinks. I tried to bounce her elsewhere, but she declined, saying she wanted to spend time with the birthday girl I opened previously.
