I did my first event, got 4 girls to go out with me for sushi

Hey everyone. So I've been in this group since December and I followed the MOA steps from 1 to 3. Then last Thursday I started sending invites for my first event which I decided to be a sushi Tuesday. Sending the invites didn't go too smoothly as you can see in my previous post: https://www.skool.com/men-of-action-free/big-failure-sending-invites-for-first-event-thanks-to-instagram

In total I ended up sending 26 invitations. I got 4 yeses and 4 maybes. And then only 1 of the yeses came and 2 of the maybes, out of which one brought a friend, so 4 girls in total. I don't know if those numbers are good but all things considered I'm pretty proud of doing something I had never done before. The 4 girls were 1 girl from my university classes, other 2 that I met from cold approach, and a friend of one of those.

Now as for the event specifically: it was very interesting. As soon as they started arriving and we started talking I realised that I need to work hard on my social skills. There were a lot of awkward silences. I'm not that charismatic and definitely not funny. I just tried to make conversations by asking random questions. They answered and then the conversation died again. However they all seemed to like me because every time I talked they payed attention and smiled. Two of them exchanged contacts on their own initiative which makes me happy to have caused that connection. We stayed there for two hours and then everyone went on their way. Afterwards I received text from two of the girls saying they had fun. And I posted a story (the attached video).

I can see now why you guys like this. I definitely want to keep doing this and get better at it. If anyone has any suggestions of books or anything about improving conversational skills to entertain groups of girls let me know. Any other opinion is also appreciated.
