I would've said "Oh, I could tell" or something if I was being CF... you've handed her a free IOI it seems, which will lower your value. Maybe they wouldn't have freezed out as you would've been more interesting with that little C&F line.
Also, your game seems pretty similar to AFCs... you asked them their names, where they're from and what they do. You also called them 'ladies' a few times - this has connotations of interest so it's better to use the word 'guys' - even if it's a group of girls, I find.
I like the way you put your hand on her back when you spoke to her, and I like the idea behind the money gesture but I think it may have been done in the wrong way. It might've been better to have said something like "oh, so how many yachts does daddy own?" or if you're feeling really bold, "Damn, for a USC girl, your clothes look pretty cheap" - both in a cocky and funny way too. I think by doing the gesture infront of your friend it suggested an alternative motive which she may have picked up on and decided you're no longer any type of challenge and at this point your value is pretty low so she wants to move on.
So to clarify, I think you showed too many IOI, your conversation topics were along the lines of AFCs and although you were on right lines with C&F, you didn't quite convey it in the right way. Good job though ;]
