Guys, I want to hear some great stories about some wild nights of success.

This is a post asking questions about having fun in any situation. It is also a self post about basketball (relevant to personal story below).

Here's what I want to know. With the recent posts over the past few weeks of some awesome nights out-- what has been your best night out (past year, month, week, ever)? Was it your best lay with a hot babe? Was it a night full of wild activities? Did you take a crazy chance that paid off immensely? When was the last time you felt like you were king of the world?

I love hearing awesome stories. And I know everyone here, seddit experts and complete newbies, had to have at least one awesome night in their life. Tell us about that any experience like that.

I guess I'll start even though I'm expecting much better:

Background: Being a man still locked in the life of college, I made an effort over the summer to visit my friend who attends a popular university in the northwest US. I attend a private college, I am very vested in my school work, and the love life in college for me was definitely not all that it was cracked up to be. My college is extremely small, and I didn't establish a good precedent with my peers. This made me successful in the academic realm, but socially I was missing something. So here I am at another University with the intention of having a good time and discovering something about myself, who knows?

Turns out that it feels great to pay it forward as I and my friend were about to make one of the best and most strategic gambles of our lives.

My friend lives on fraternity row. It was summer in July in the city. There are ALWAYS students walking around at night, and boy do things get interesting. My friends and I had a few drinks and began to hang around outside listening to some music waiting for something to happen. I was bored. We were all a little bored. But, the night was early. So I tried something simple-- the fraternity we stayed at happened to have a half court basketball hoop right in by the sidewalks, so I nabbed a nearby basketball and began to shoot around. I used to play fairly competitively, but stopped after high school, and my two friends that were with me never really played a game of basketball in their lives. Turns out that everyone that walked by was really friendly when we talked with them and each person that walked by would always take at least one shot for fun. Me, frat friend, and friend 2 (who was on liberty for a month from the military) were suddenly approached by two sorority girls, and they were fine looking to say the least. If there is one thing that sorority girls love, it most certainly is flavored liquor. Sorority girl one asks a simple question, "Hey do you guys have any shots?" with an inquisitive look on her face while biting her lower lip. My frat friend looks at me as I turn to him. We both had a scheming look on our faces. It was as if we had one of those unspoken conversations where our intentions were matched with our spoken actions. Frat friend says to sorority chick 1, "Yeah, I think I have some shot glasses and alcohol in the back." Chick 1, "Well let's go get som--," Frat Friend interrupts and says, "Hold it. There's a deal. I'll pour you some shots, but you have to make a bet with us." He then points to me every so casually. "See this guy here. I'll bet that if you make one shot from 20 ft out, I'll get you your shot. If you miss, no alcohol. But, if my boy here makes 3 three pointers in a row, you gotta make out with him." She agreed and began to dribble with both of her hands, prepping herself to make the shot of her life for free alcohol.

One dribble. Both hands cup the ball. She walks back to the three point line (about 20 ft away from the basketball hoop for those who don't play), and squats down. She leaps from her spot and throws the ball into the air.

CLANK. Miss. Fuck yes.

Frat friend and military friend look at me, they have excitement in their eyes. They know as well as I do that I could shoot a basketball far better than most people. Only, these girls had no idea. But, I'll be honest, I was nervous as shit.

Military friend rebounds the missed shot and sends a bounce pass my way. I dribble a few times to get a solid rhythm down. I perch the ball in my right hand with my left hand as a guide. I eye the rim and lob a floater in the air towards the rim.

Shot 1: nothing but net. Swish. 1 down, 2 to go.

Heart's thumping a little. Girl comes up and says she'll give me a nice little peck on the cheek. It's a nice little consolation prize, but if I was on the Price is Right, fuck it, I'm going for the showcase. Rebound. Pass back to me. Three dribbles. Shot 2 goes up.

Shot 2: Boom. Swish again. Two shots made, one to go. Yes, again.

Have you ever had your heart race when you are about to give an important speech to a large audience? Where adrenaline fills your chest cavity and tingles at your legs and arms? I felt like this, and damn did it feel good. Hottie gives me another peck on the cheek, but man, I really didn't want that stupid ass consolation prize. Rebound. Bounce pass. Three dribbles. This one's now for the money. Do I get the make out or do I feed the alcohol addiction of the hot sorority girl and give in for the rest of the night? Fuck, this seems intense to me (I can't help but chuckle looking back at that).

Shot 3: Final shot thrown up in the air. CLANK! (shit! Shit! SHIT!) Ball hits front rim, but shoots back straight up in the air. Then, just when a bounce off the rim was about to end this odd gamble, the bounce worked in my favor. The ball bounced up and.....

Boom. done. Ball goes in. "Crowd goes wild". Fuck yeah! shot 3 of 3 made. Did the girl back down? Hell no! I earned probably the hardest but best makeout of my life right there, but I'll tell you something, that was fun. She was pretty damn experienced too, and I felt like the king for that moment in time. Bitch, I'm Larry Bird! Ha.

Lessons learned? Guys, getting a make out from making 3 three point shots in a row is probably one of the toughest ways to ever get a make out. I mean, shit, it is so easy to get one when you are outcome independent and have the time of your life. It's also fun to make little gambles because they can make a night that much more interesting. Following the great basketball show, I eventually played wingman for my military friend as he found some great success later that night with another sorority girl. I finally understood myself a little better that night. Making gambles and basketball shots are fun, but ultimately I was responsible for receiving what I desperately wanted. No, there were no wild foursomes like that post earlier in the week, but hell man, it feels great when you are "in state" and everything goes your way. There are always failures, but that is only temporary. The feelings you gain from success are awesome, so keep calm and carry on. Thanks for taking the time to read the story. I'm not much of a writer, but I thought I'd make a post here on this subreddit one time.

Sorry if the story was a little long to read.

So let's hear it. What has been one of your best nights out? Did some pick-up experience teach you a lot about yourself? All of you guys are kings, I'm sure of it. Thanks for reading!
