So I met this girl today HB7.5. After building attraction, had her isolated and was building comfort for about 15-20mins. Things were going well, I was about to seed an event and then go for the number close when her friend HB9 came looking for her.

I saw them come together, but I targeted the 7.5 as lots were already drooling over the 9. Bad move I know, should have gone for the 9, but the 7.5 is from out of town for summer, so that's a plus.

Anyways, the convo kind of died down between me and 7.5 as the 9 kind of positioned herself between us, sort of turned to her and started talking. I included the friend and talked to both for a bit and then ejected the set as number closing in presence of a friend has been tricky for me.

I am looking for some advice on what I should have done to get a number close at that point? I felt it was too late to do so after 9 came in and figured I'd catch 7.5 later during the night, but missed her.

I recall I had made the exact same mistake with a different 2-set about 3 or 4 weeks back, so any input with definitely help. Thank you.
