group theory in action hb 8.5 pickup

So, there's 3 girls, one of them a very hot english girl

I open ... now they are sitting down, do i just sit right down on the arm bit of the couch next to them

"hey really quick, do you guys ever get harasses by bouncers? this guy didn't wanna let us in cuz we're 4 guys. i'm like, it's a tuesday dude. are you kidding? ... do you girls ever roll up and the bouncers like "sorry...too many chicks in here you guys, not tonight...." it's unfair!!

transition:

soo are you guy all workmates or what? drinking on a tuesday, huh?? what's going on there, you alikies!! bla bla

Dunners comes in and distracts one friend (semi cute) leaving me with HB8.5 and the ug

i work them both ... at first my one doesn't open up. i ask her what fun stuff she does other than drinking and she says "nothing" ... eek ... i didn't think that was too big a hoop....

i lead and yatter away some more ... it goes ok, but not great at first. i ask her if she's good at back rubs. she says yes. i leap over the back part of the couch and sit next to her. she doesn't comply and says "you're a bit too sure of yourself, buddy!"

i say "what, i just need to know if you can give a good massage. i myself give a fantastic massage, but i'm tired of hooking up with chicks who's massages suck!!"

HB "let's see what you've got!"

So i go to town - she loves it, of course ;)

chat a bit more after - we hit a lull in the conversation - i feel i should close and get out

i throw in a false time contraint - "anyways, i have to get back to my friends there at the bar, but before i go, just tell me one cool thing about yourself..."

FINALLY she opens up. i don't even remember what she said... then we got into actualy rapport (what kind of movies do you like, music, bla bla bla) and the set went really well after that point.

(yes, yes, i know MM says use it always at the beggining of the set, but this worked perfectly in this spot - because - i felt that they were thinking "ok is he going to be here all night" and even if they weren't, me thinking that is going to affect my state, and the set- so in either case the solution is to give yourself the time contraint - and in this case stick to it. I've already been in the set long enough to # close (extraction seems unlikely when she's with her 2 mates, isolation woulc be ackward - but maybe it's my limiting belief?!) so it's not really a FALSE time contraint. it's real. i need to get the fuck out. plus, cuz she did like me, she feels that (even if small) sense of loss when i say i'm about to go, so it increases her chances of giving me a good answer when i try qualify/build comfort with her in those last couple of minutes. right? right.... )




sooooo we got along great just chattin about normal stuff. she likes comedy and is going to see chris rock. me too!! yay! blah blah try get her to my party, but she's seeing a gig on that date. i say well, let's just hang out another time. come to one of my gigs! she says sure, and we swap #'s

i tell her "i'd like to see you again - i'm going to give you a call"....

HB "Yea, do....."


this is a really limited version of what happened as the set was like 25 minutes, but it was pretty good. the interesting part was, you can hit little walls in the set but just plow on.... she was interested though from the start .. as long as u don't do anything too stupid it should be alright

maybe i should have gone for the makeout? bit weird with the friend right there but ... i dunno... i should have had another wing come in for the 2nd friend, then it would have been easy to isolate.... ahhh... next time i will try for that....
