Good luck with the bonfire thing bro
I'm not sure about your mum but mines pretty cool with this type of things. She told me when I was 14 she didn't want a 16 year old virgin as a son- in a nicer way. I basically do this **** in front of her, but I don't do approaches because I feel weird. If I open/get opened in a line or in a store or something I just go like normal except less physical so I don't freak my mum out.
My dad just **** blocks.
My mom has never spoken to me about sex in her life. She gets uncomfortable when I go to parties or on dates. Wish I could pull that off.
So last night, went to that thing. 4 guys I'm close friends with (almost the same 4 as last weekend's cabin) and 3 girls, already assigned to their boyfriend or the approximation of one. One other girl was there, the ex of the last guy from the cabin. It was relaxed, sitting around a fire. I made a good, calm impression on people, and I was the only one who brought substances (the basic ones) so that helped give me credibility (though most of them only drink).
My friend's ex who was there is a huge flirt. I've known her for long enough and she dated such a close friend for so long that I would never go for it, but she got hot as hell when she got her braces off. There was a 3 or 4 minute span where we started by alternately sitting on one another, then switched to squeezing next to each other in one chair. We sat there whispering jokes, laughing loudly and doing screamo singing impressions. The rest of the group got a little quieter to watch us having fun. She and her boyfriend just broke up, so I hope that doesn't start any drama, but I think little things like that will help the 2 girls (who I'd never met before, as well as the third who is close with my ex) see me as a viable candidate for dating their friends.
I also got a chance to freestyle with the one other member of the group who picked it up strongly. He also DJ's so his sense of rhythm makes sense. Certainly helped him with his girl.
I left to go to steak and shake with my friends Sean and Derek (You'll notice that I sometimes do made up names, sometimes real ones, and it gets hard for me to keep track. I do this for no reason and choose names at random). We blazed immediately before going in. Peaked on sitting down. The waitress came over and said immediately, "Are ya'll high?" Derek goes, "Uh no" and she says "You lyin." then takes our order. She said she was tired, and wasn't in a great mood.Derek is a character, though, and still chatted with her and she couldn't help but laugh. He's black, as was our waitress, so he got a chance to prod her in a way only he could (like when she slipped and said "aw, nig-" after getting off the phone). For my part, I was consciously gentle and polite to the staff, but I did cause a scene. I slipped and spilled my water all over my pants and the floor. I quickly moved to get napkins, and our waitress came to help clean it up. Then, 5 minutes later, I did it again, and a second waitress, a cute little blond, came to help me, and spilled the water again herself. Then she offered to get me a cup with a lid, and I immediately accepted.
We got up to pay our tabs, I left a polite "Have a nice night" to the table of businessmen behind us, and we went to the register. After paying, Derek went to give our waitress her tip, and I stayed behind for a second with the blond. I wanted to say "You were so sweet tonight, can I call you sometime?" but changed at the last moment and said "You were the sweetest person tonight, so I need to ask, who's the lucky guy?" and she replies, "Oh there's no lucky guy. There is a lucky girl though." So I laugh with "Oh that's cool!" and we head out of the restaurant. That is the first direct move I've made on someone I didn't know. Really glad it happened.
