what do you do when your talking to a two or three set and the targets friend starts to pull down her state while you are gaming her or trying to pump buying temperature?
this happened last night and was a total distraction on all parts.....
how do you deal with an inimpressed friend? namely a girl at this point.....
Ah, this is where the handy dandy wing comes in handy...
First of all... check your behavior. Are you coming across like a dick to the obstacle? Are you negging the target too hard? Are you coming across as needy? Something you're doing is triggering this response in the friend.
But, back to techniques: (if you're going at it alone)
there are several ways to deal with an unimpressed obstacle... you either satiate them, distract them, or isolate away from them.
1.) Satiate: You can give them what they want. Directly acknowledge that she's not impressed by you, and what's up (in a fun, playful way.) Don't buy her a drink or try to WIN her over, tell her a really nice DHV story (don't forget about your target) to show her that you're a humane, caring, bad ass who saves kittens from trees and makes the ladies swoon.
2.) Distract: Get the obstacle away from the set. Nasty bitches are only as powerful as their social circle. Escort her over to a guy you opened earlier in the night from another set, and set them up. Or, make up a game for the set to play, where they have to scavenger hunt through the bar, separately (of course, you'd stick with the target.) Do a bar trick you know you'll win, and make her go get you a drink as a consolation prize.
3.) Isolate: Get your target away from the obstacle. Your ability to do this should be a direct result of your comfort level in your own skin, and your ability to come across as non-threatening yet exciting.
Again, I stress, the real issue is what did you do to make the friend unimpressed? Bad body language, nasty attitude towards something, neediness, etc.
no last few times i can honestly say that i was really positive....high energy....funny......because i had the target laughing and attracted......then the friend either kills my state....her state.....or grabs her and walks away....
thanks for the suggestions though.....isolating or seperating the two shouldn't be that hard after the critical buying temp is there i hope~!
