Reading over this thread it's very helpful to see the areas I need work in.
-Smiling/facial expression is definitely something I should be more conscious of, and something I need to experiment with more.
-It's a good idea to start the evening up with low-investment social interactions with people because it serves to build up your emotional state for later in the evening.
-It's better to go out with single friends, something I haven't done in a while, because when both of you are of the same frame of mind it encourages you to succeed.
-I'm getting better at generating comfort when I get into these instant make-out sessions. Had a positive text conversation with the girl from Thursday, and we both remembered quite a lot about each other from that night's "conversation".
-I still have a lot to learn about social circle game, and gaming friends of friends. If anyone has advice or can direct me to some relevant reading material on it, please let me know.
