Friday 18th May 2012

Got out late into Manchester and got into 5th avenue and straight away spoke to some girl whilst waiting to put my jacket in the cloakroom (around 2minutes), saw Sapmi and met his wing Tricks.

Was stalling on starting conversation other than saying hey to some guy at the bar, ended up chatting to a fat girl for a while but I wasn't going to take it anywhere.

So far my openers are things like "Hey how's your night going?", "Hey what are you drinking?", "What are you celebrating tonight" type stuff.

BUT the main thing I noticed through-out the night was I was making excuses to speak to girls rather than just having them for the sake of conversation, like one was a 2set about signal in the club and how I'd lost my friends (kinda true though) and another was 3 girls about prices of drinks and then ejected. They were the hottest of the night really.

The lesson I'm learning is to really just make conversation with everyone around you,socialise socialise,socialise, don't eject from girls, don't eject from girls.

Also I think I spent to much time hanging around with Sapmi and Tricks, I should have been speaking to more girls. Although we did have a good interaction with these 3 girls although one of them was being annoying and too sarcastic, i went along with her 'frame' when really I should have told her to stfu and act normal or we're leaving.

May sound harsh but cba putting up with people who aren't going to have a real conversation with you.

Anyway it was towards the end of the night 2:30 that I started to feel really comfortable in the club. Definitely feel better with wings - no suprise.

So tonight I'm going to just start conversations with everybody around me, last night I missed way too many. Also lines are great places for speaking to people as they're stuck with you! :P Also its quiet and away from the club vibe.

OH and I will not buy any alcohol tonight, last night I was being a bit self concious with how much water I was buying and ended up buying a lot of drinks. Hydration and sober ftw

Peace.
