Went to the concert my ex-oneitis sold me tickets to. She was still being an iceb1tch so I chatted up some guys there to setup some instant social proof until my pivot showed up. I approached 2 HBs before the venue's doors opened. The first was receptive, but made a beeline for this guitarist she knew and stuck to him the entire night. The next was more friendlier with the body language and EC but also made off with this Alpha-ish male friend.

When the bands started playing, I hung around with this dude from my ex oneitis' clique who was really cool. His girlfriend came from the same country as me and she was waaay more open than the last time I met her. Got good practice with convo and EC from her when my pivot (HB5) arrived whom I layed the kino down heavy.

During the headline band's (if that's what you call it) set, I made EC with this petite HB9. She looked down for a moment and smiled. GREEN LIGHT. She was having a convo with her girlfriends so I waited until no-one was paying attention to her. Opening line: I asked what color were her Converses. Good enough. We introduced ourselves but the music was too loud, so I made my to the pit before I was tempted to linger. Minutes later, I noticed she was right next to me. Managed to pull some light kino shielding her from the 200lb bruisers and I disappeared back to my pivot girl. Ran into the HB9 again, but the music was still too loud and I didn't want to miss the headline band.

When all the sets ended, I was hanging with my pivot when the HB9 passed me by. . .alone and skulked outside. Now I knew I was obligated to make a close right there. I joked with her for a bit and decided to settle for her screenname which she immediately gave. I didn't feel enough rapport was established for any other close. I left after doing my practiced bicep squeeze. My only major concern is that she could be jailbait.

I would appreciate tips on making pickups at concerts. The atmosphere is more sociable than a club but dancing is not practical unless the HB can handle a mosh pit.

Yeah it's definitely about making approaches between sets. I often try to get near the HB I wanna roll on towards te end of a set so afterward I'm ina position to turn to her and say sonmething if the mood strikes.

nice to see you acting on both IOI and having a pivot. I think that you should've went for the #close because she was constantly around you and isolated herself at the end to be with you pretty much. I also think you should've worked some kino or something on the concert floor, such as whispering in her ear or something when she couldn't hear you instead of just leaving her

Yeah, I think I might have been overdoing it with the challenge. I'm considering waiting until tomorrow (2 days after the close) to start mailing her. Is it a good idea to try to gain some rapport online b4 getting the # and setting a date?

If you think it's right....
Online's a touchy subject and I don't like telling people what to do online. If you feel confident with your IM skills then go ahead...
