Hi, I've been reading this website/forums for a while now, but haven't posted much (I have however spent a lot of time practicing the content I have read tho).
Here's a little background to my question. I have taken a law class during the summer that I need for my degree. The other day, I came to class early, and there were 6 people in it, sitting pretty far apart from each other, and one was a HB8. I sit in her row and start talking to her.
It's hard to evaluate your own performance because there is usuaully something that you miss out, but I felt I was on top of the game at the time. I didn't feel nervous when I approached her, and didn't even consider the possibility that she might shut me down. That state of mind helped me a lot. Was using eye-contact, smiling, asking her questions about herself, then asking questions based on her answers, and using C&F when asked a personal question. I didn't bother with neg-hits because she didn't act snobby or have her *****-shield up. I think her interest level was pretty good, she was playing with her hair, maintaining eye-contact, smiling back, and had playfully punched me in the arm after a C&F comment.
Then the class started filling up, and one of her friends (i'd say a 6.5 on looks scale) came and sat in our row. Now, I know better then to exclude her friend, so I start up a conversation with her and get to know her a bit. She was pretty friendly, and I thought I made a good first impression, but there was one problem.
Everytime I moved the spotlight from the friend to the HB8, her friend would wait till I finished a sentence, then ask her an inside question (usually about their common friends and such), and launch into a conversation, totally shutting me out. After that, it was near impossible to maintain convo with the HB8 without her friend butting in. I was gonna do my number close at the end of the class, but her friend engaged her in a 5 min conversation and there was no way I could have isolated the HB8. I realize that this situation could have been handled easily with the help of a wingman, but unfortunately I had to work solo at the time.
Now there are many other great looking girls in the class, most of them solo. I figure it would be easier to pick up a solo girl, then to get through this broad's conversational bodyguard. That being said, next class, I will sit another spot and chat some other girl up.
However, I would like to hear your opinions on how you would have handled the situation cause I'm sure it will occur again.
Peace.
