so dont usually do these, but just want to show you how it can be done without games and tricks and over analysing:

so last night, was supposed to be going to shoreditch. that plan messed up. i woke up yesterday with the worst cold ever. my body was overcome with ache and lifting 30 boxes at work didnt help. so i called the boys and cancelled, went home after work and went to bed. slept til around 9, and woke up feeling shit.

couldnt take staying in a nye tho, so text my friend and went over to her house for a house party.

so i showed up and walk through the door. theres around 25 people sat around playing a board game. not really a house party im used to - maybe im getting older, or maybe everyone else is and im not. sat next to my friend and joined in the game. one of the girls at the party was really getting into it, really hand gesturing all over the shop. she was petit and pretty and had a gang of guys around her, fighting for attention.

i was really ill. i looked like shit last night, mixing strepsils and vodka. bad combination.

so anyway, i sat on the sofa and the pretty girl walked past. earlier i heard her saying she was a vegetarian so i said 'hey i heard you speaking earlier, did you say you were vegetarian?' she said yep and we had a talk about it. im a strict vegetarian aswell. so we chatted. the meanwhile! gang of guys sat surrounding us trying to fight for attention with stuff like 'hey is that a nose piercing?'. she ignored them as we talked about socialism and got to know each other. no weird stuff, no dhvs from me, or negs, or kino escalation, just talking like two people getting to know each other.

i walked off to chat to some other people and some guy came over trying to chat her up. i came back into the room and he was saying how they had gotten married or something. some kind of joke, i think. we got talking about sleeping arrangements and the pretty girl asking if i wanted to sleep with her as I was 'the least likely person to molest her during the night', as she put it.

I heard someone playing piano so went off. I ended up playing some songs and some people had a sing.

Cut a long story short, the party was dying down so suggested the girl show me where we were gonna be sleeping. we got into bed and didnt leave.

moral of the story:
girls can tell if youre being insincere with your gestures. they know if the only reason youre talking to them is because you want to fuck them based on how they look.
so you can either do as phil does and tell them, or as I do, stop thinking like a caveman and think, this girl looks alright, but im gonna find out if shes worth fucking.

also, do things for yourself. I played some piano last night not because I was trying to impress, but because I like playing. people can tell and doesnt make you look like an idiot.

I'm shattered, hardly any sleep, might update this later.
