Day 43,
And so, I did go out on Friday and Saturday night.
I was sitting on my own for both nights.
Was more sociable on Friday because of the venue, and because I had swooped up a whole table earlier on, and a very friendly (and charismatic) guy came up and started talking with me. He sat at the same table with his buds. I found that he was a helpful home base, seeing as I could now leave the table and come back without concerns. I made three approaches in this bar (which I had never really done before); one brushed me off, one talked with me for a couple minutes and stated that she had to reconnect to her friend - promising to come back, but didn't - and a guy who gave me her number, but hasn't answered it.
I view this as a huge win, considering that last Saturday, I was closed off, shut down, and depressed that I "couldn't seem to muster up any courage to talk to anyone"
Not sure if I'm getting IOIs, but women look back at me when I look. I can never get a sense of how they're feeling, especially when they're standing/dancing right next to some dude of whom I don't know their relationship.
