Anyone have a good response to "Is this your boyfriend?"
Befriending the friends is the right answer, as above.
As for this, I like to use that old routine of "well since you've been gone we got engaged, married, went on our honeymoon, fell out of love, and are now divorced, but (turning to her) you can keep the beach house but I WANT THE PUPPY!" Big smile, always gets a laugh. Again, it's part of taking a "shit-test" and absurdifying it to the point of hilarity.
The point of this "date" is you have to show you're comfortable with social pressure and comfortable with her. As well as befriending her friends and acting cool, also make sure to joke around with her, be flirty, and don't be afraid to kino like clawing her in, and holding her by the small of the back, etc.
When I'm on a 1st or 2nd date with a girl, I make sure our body language LOOKS like we've been going out for months and are really in love. That makes her more comfortable in the social situation, and it puts her in the frame of being comfortable with you and your touch (backwards rationalisation - we would only be sitting this close with his arm around me if we really liked each other, so therefore we do).
Also, it diffuses possible cockblock attempts. If you see a guy and a girl sitting nervously next to each other, with a big gap between them, not touching at all, and exchanging pleasantries uncomfortably whilst looking at the floor, how tempting is it to fuck with them and be like "so when are you guys gonna make out?"
If a guy is sitting with a girl's legs on his, arm around her, holding hands, looking into each other's eyes whilst laughing and giggling, it would be fucking RETARDED and not at all funny if you went over and were like "is he your boyfriend duh huh."
NB: DO NOT NEG HER. Negs are only for the first couple of minutes of interaction with a 9/10 in a club at night. FLIRT with her, don't be afraid to make fun of her a little, but do so in the context of smiling and laughing and having fun.
