My uni is promoting a seminar about emotional intelligence and teamwork. Basically a lot of support group bs of talking about feelings and building self-confidence.

Anyway, the group is comprised of 10 girls and 2 guys. Good ratio since I have already AMOG'd the other guy. I'm interested in 2 of the girls, 3 others are O.K. I do not previously know any of them.

Since the exercises we make involve talking about ourselfs (good chance to look good and gather some first hand intel on my targets) and some phisical contact (the early stages of kino, if done right) I was thinking if there is a way to use this to my advantage wheile gaming the girls.

Any ideas?

You pretty much got it sorted out. AA style group hugs are great to break the ice, and if the girls have to go on and on about what makes them tick there are lots of useful stuff you may learn and use on a sucessful conversation. Example:

Girl tells in group setting she's an arts major. You go home and research stuff that has to do with arts in your town. Next day you intercept her before or after class and say something like:

You: "So, you study arts. That is very interesting. Do you also paint?"

She: "Yes I do."

You: "I'd love to see your work."

She shows some pictures on her phone, you say she is talented, then say some famous guy has a limited time exhibit in town and ask if she has already went to see it. If not, get a date.

Also, most people get nervous when they speak in public, display confidence and that will get you a long way.
