So i am very comfortable opening a girl directly when she is by herself but what are some guidelines / tips for when she is with one or two of her friends? BTW i want to open direct and not indirect to skip all the BS so is this possible when she is not alone?

If you want to open a set directly, with eyes on one specific target, it is wise to include the set in your initial direct approach.

Here's an example.

Hi ladies, wow, you all look very beautiful, but sadly i must admit I only have eyes for one of you.( Look them all in the eyes first then lock onto your target and introduce yourself. Then politely introduce yourself to the others then go back to the target and work your game).

The key is to get the approval of the others then you should be able to stay in the set and work your target with ease.

It's easier to open a 3-set than a 2-set because once you isolate your target, the other 2 girls can occupy each other, whereas in a 2-set you have to deal with your target feeling guilty abandoning her BFF to go off with you and the other girl trying to cockblock you and stop you "stealing" her BFF. Still approach though, girls are girls and if they look receptive, nothing should put you off.

I see where you guys are coming from. Now do you believe it would be more beneficial to express my interest in my TOI asap or should i work the group a little then single out the TOI?

Working the group can always help but be aware of taking too long, or the one of other girls showing interest in you. It is common for a group of girls to try to push you onto the one showing interest, if you haven't stated your interest in your target by then, it could back fire. You said you like to be direct, so be direct< this will eliminate any potential unwanted variables.

In the example I stated, it was showing the target your interest immediately, there is nothing that says you can't warm the entire set some more then go back to the target as long as your interest is already stated.
