Indie Rock Club
Driver and I went to a weekly indie rock event. I wore my earplugs again and had to adjust my projection again. At first not even Driver could hear me, but toward the end of the night my projection was great. For some reason my throat feels better when I my ears aren’t hurting. Perhaps they’re connected?
The night started a little slow, until I drank a rum and coke and pushed myself to approach. I winged Driver a few times, just watching him and becoming his fanboy.
One girl gave me a look, so I just grabbed her and horse girled her. She was from Germany, has a horse ranch out here. I got the feeling she wanted me to buy her and her roommate shots. After suggesting we get shots a few times, I told her to get the first round. She told me to get the first round, I’m the guy. We parted ways after that. I should have responded with, “Oh you’re one of those girls… listen little girl, I only buy shots for girls who earn them,” or something along those lines, labeling her as a shot whore.
I saw a hot Mexican chick. Sex last week. She loved it. I found out she was also very drunk. We danced. She kept asking me if I knew so-and-so, so I mysteriously answered, “Maybe…” and grabbed the back of her neck and her ass. After two songs I told her it was hot and pulled her upstairs. It turns out she had a friend! Fuck. Her friend and her boy toy for the night followed us up.
The friends sat on a couch across from us, while I leaned back and had my girl hovering over me, trying to build rapport. I try to befriend the friends a little because I sense a cockblock. I was right. The cockblock pulls her to the downstairs bathroom.
I think the dude’s a dud so I go pick up other girls to build social proof. The bathroom area was unusually clear of girls so it wasn’t easy, but I just grabbed a random girl and started talking and talking and talking. I missed my girl leaving the bathroom, so I looked for her.
I found her in the other room, still with the cockblock and her dude. I reengaged the target, who was talking to two other girls, and told her to introduce me to them.
The club was closing and we were being kicked to the dance floor. Some dude comes up to my girl and tries to get her number while my arm was around her. I try to get him away a few times but persists. I take her by the hand and start dragging her through the crowd but amazingly he follows. I drag her to the dance floor he follows. I physically separate them by holding her close and slow dancing, with my back to the guy, spinning and making him orbit us. Fuck he’s persistent. I team up with the cockblock to get him away and eventually he leaves, but not before yelling his number out several times. I’m not sure if she put his number down.
The club closes. The four of us leave together. I walk ahead with my girl with the intent of taking her to my car, but she stops at the parking lot where her car is. I pull her hair and come in close. She says I can’t kiss her, I tell her I don’t want to kiss her, she’s in my friend zone. She repeatedly asks me if I want a record deal, that she’ll ask some guy who I’m assuming is her boyfriend/whatever. I tell her I don’t want anything, I just want to be friends. (Weak. I should have said, “You say you want to help me, but I know girls like you. You just offer false promises to get close to me. Sorry little girl, I don’t need anything from you. The best you can get is friendship, and you’re walking a fine line on that.”)
The cockblock and guy arrive. The dude and I agree they shouldn’t be driving, and offer to give them rides. The cockblock keeps saying they’ll be taking a cab but stay in the parking lot. It’s retarded.
Some Asian dude also comes by and my girl immediately starts talking to him. They shake hands and he twirls her, classic PUA move. I immediately try to shake his hand to get his hand off my girl but it takes a few seconds before compliance. She keeps trying to talk to him and they’re still holding hands, so I stand between the two and pull her into the parking lot, until he finally lets go of her hand.
Eventually the cockblock had enough and said bye to us all. The two guys walked in one direction while I walked in the other. I turn back because I realize those guys are probably going to try to fuck them. Also because I really don’t want them to drive drunk. The two guys turn back as well, but I plow ahead first.
The cockblock keeps telling me they’ll see me next week, blahblahblah, thanks, go away. I persist a little and try to get them to take a cab but fail. I walk away as the guys lurk at the parking lot entrance, ready to pounce as soon as I leave.
My frame control still needs work and I need to be more assertive. I did AMOG much more aggressively today than I ever have, though. And I got a number for a hot Mexican chick who professes her love of Asian guys. And at the end of the night my projection was so good I was having entire conversations with the girl in the middle of the dance floor. A good night!
