RackRackCity,
It's good to see men here posting and developing their pick-up skills to another whole new different of level and sharing our past experiences.
First of all, good job on indicating I.O.I's. Well done!
Second, don't rely too much on your wing man.. Try to work alone and do your thing. Be independant, because you know you can
Third, don't waste time looking at the targets and sets too long especially when they see you looking more than 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, you'll be a creep or some dude stalking them up. Try to use the 3 seconds rule and approach immediately. Never fear rejection, because like TOYOTA say, "Practice makes PERFECT"!!! Be confident and approach no matter what the circumstances are. Open up with something unique, ask suggestions about your clothes, ask suggestions where to buy cool clothes, neg their fashion tastes, bullshit all you can for all I care. Just approach and be the man that every AFC wants to be.
I just hooked up with a set (4 girls in a coffee shop sitting down at the table) last two days. Here's the story;
Me: Hey girls, I'm having a survey on a report I'm currently doing.
Mother Hen 1: Cool, what's it about?
Mother Hen 2: Yeah??
Mother Hen 3: *smiles
Target 1: *smiles
Me: What would you girls spend on if you were given $10million and you only get to spend it for 3 days??
Mother Hen1: Emm, thats tough.
Mother Hen2: First I'll buy a big house, awesome car, designer's bag, designer's dress, etc.
Mother Hen3: designer's bag, open up a cafe, designer's dress, bla bla bla etc.
Target 1: buy designer's brands, expensive car, jewelleries, big house, investments etc.
From my previous experience, I've applied this to sets and it work 95% effiecient. The answers are (which i made up);
1. Greedy - waste money on fashion, expensive cars, jewelleries.
2. Well planned future - investments, open a restaurant/cafe.
3. Good sense of security - Big houses.
4 Independant woman - buying a car.
And tell them in order of the way they gave me their answers. For eg;
For Target 1 she said, "designer's brands, expensive car, jewelleries, big house, investments etc". I answered, "No.1, you are greedy because wasting money on stuff that doesn't provide any good for the future. No.2, you are an independant woman, because you want your own transportation. No.3, you have a well planned future because you'd invest the money and secure your future. You didn't mentioned about gettin' married so I assume your single". I was confident as hell, and alpha as ever.. After I told them about this they were all 'seeking for my approval' and wanted my attention. They were in disbelief and wanted to know more. So I told the sets that I'd only chose one of them to tell how I got it right. I chose Target1 and pulled her out from the sets which the Motherhens were all dissapointed because they wanted themselves to be picked.
Me: The thing is, you look like *pause and smile* someone I wanna know.. But since your personality is greedy on the top, I don't think I'll be able to milk that shit!! Lol!!
Target 1: Hhahahaha.. No I'm not greedy.. (seeks validation)
Me: Well I guess I'll have to find out (looked into her eyes deeply and slowly moving my lips towards her in a 70% manner, the other 30% she insisted and suddenly kiss closed)
So there it was. Being bold, being brave and confident!! Later that night she called me and wanted to hang. I said, "Lets just stop wasting time and lemme come down to your place". She accepts and the rest, you know what it is!!!
Basically the conclusion is, never rely on your wing man, focus on your body language, negs, openers, theories and confidence!!!
Keep updating more on your progress.. Your doing good, but aim for perfect!!

cheers..
