I woke up at 9pm from a nap I took. I felt all manner of good about myself so I decided I was going to take advantage of it. So I got ready and headed out into the night. I first went to the bar I work at and for the most part, I warmed up with some conversations with the security guy, the bartenders and a few older women. For the most part, I felt ignored by everyone and even though I work with these people, I felt like they weren't too keen on relating to me very much. I can't say why, but what I can say is that I felt fine about the whole situation, reminding myself that it was okay not to be the coolest guy in the town, or to have the kind of responses I wanted. Such a thing will take time to cultivate and mentally I am halfway there.

Eventually I left for the night club, the slug and lettuce. Reminding myself of the need to maintain my social proof, I started a short conversation with two girls at the entrance, moving on I met a two girls who were excited about wielding my hat. I thought it best to leave on a high note for later. So I went off and found another group whom I talked with for a little while, before moving on to a two set. This was my pattern for the majority of the night.
A few positives in my view, my tendency to keep approaching quite

frequently, my jovial enthusiasm, and my overall style. I found that I was consistently being blown out however, with girls telling me they were going to dance, I also felt like I was boring and had little interesting things to say. In general, once I started the conversation, I just didn't know how to keep it going and for the most part, I wasn't sure what to do when I had a woman. I did manage to get one girl to bounce with me to a secluded area, although she had hesitated to leave the venue because of her friend. I took her details but truth be told she wasn't my type.

I left the place eventually, not too disappointed as such but not quite as satisfied as I hoped. I wonder, what I can do to improve my skills here. I feel I should have conversation topics prepared before hand, I also think I need voice coaching because most people can't here me in the club when I speak, and I could also do without my glasses maybe? I assume some of you have been in a similar place, so I could use your insight. I want to take advantage of the momentum I am building.

Why did you go to your workplace? Is it because you like the bar or because you wanted the "social proof"?
To me I would equate it to me hanging around work on my day off - a little strange unlesss I had reason to be thee such as a band etc.

I've stopped going to bars for the sole purpose of picking up women because it is wholly dependent upon your success or failure. I will go because it is where I want to be because they have my favourite beer and atmosphere or a good band playing.
Your interactions sound forced because they were forced, you opened for the sake of opening as opposed to doing something you enjoy and approaching somebody where there was mutual attraction
