1) I was in the smoking area and I opened a set of two girls. I used the spells opener and got their attention running. I negged the target by turning to her friend and saying that the target looked like a non-believer anyway and if she was always like this. It worked pretty well. The opener lasted for about 2 - 3 mins after which I moved onto the ring routine. Now this is where things got a bit complicated. Her friend always looked semi-interested but the target was as far as I could tell, interested and she was enjoying herself. But her friend was definitely humouring me and I think that mood shifted onto the target and things kind of fizzled away. Also, they had two other friends who were guys and they were trying to put me down by saying that my techniques to pull were strange and that made the target a little awkward. It ended with the girls leaving saying that they wanted to dance. So in the light of this, what could I have done differently or what mistakes did I make?
2) On the dancefloor, I saw a girl who smiled at me. It was her birthday too. Went upto her and danced with her but her friends kept pulling her away. And they finally went to another room because of this. Another scenario: while I was dancing, a girl smiles at me and comes towards me and grabs my hand and I start dancing with her. A minute later, her friend comes upto me saying, "She's mine", grabs the target's hand and leaves. This was incredibly annoying and I couldn't see anyway I could have avoided this.
Any help or insight into these topics would be wonderful. Thank you guys! Love this forum!
You don't sound like you're an AFC. At least you're opening sets. I remember before I got into this I would never approach a stranger...
In that first situation you did well up until the fizzle. If you feel the energy leave and you have random guys haggling you, you should go for a number and exit. Mystery uses the line "So.. how do you all know each other?" This will get you info about who the other guys were, so you can determine whether to go for a number or not. You don't want to hang around and make things awkward if you can feel the energy leaving. Use the "I'm gonna go meet up with my friends/I'm gonna bounce and go to a party.. etc." You did a good job creating sexual tension that faded once the other dudes got involved it sounds like.
In the second situation, did you try to hang on to the person you were with? You could have created a little tug of war with the cock-blocks. If you didn't playfully resist, then that was your failure...
