"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hey guys, I was out at the pub tonight and I did manage to get a kiss close off a HB7.5 who worked there, but I was curious about something. There was this 5 set in the bar that came in and sat at a table far away, now, 4 of the girls there were 6s (this is after 1L of Carlsberg btw) and there was one HB8.5. I felt kind of intimidated, so I decided to stick with the girl i was with. Has anyone come across this situation, and do you guys have any advice for these situations where it is just you and 5 girls? Should I just ask questions about certain things I notice about them and go from there, or totally be Confident and suave.

Thanks for the help
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Can't say I have a lot of experience with a large set like this, but what I would do is either go over, address the group, and "borrow" the HB8 for a quick chat (or a dance if there's a dancefloor), or start gaming one of the friends and see how long it takes for HB8 to get jealous ;)

Ever heard of Mergin Sets and using the girl you had as a pawn. The same group theory stuff goes for big sets like that too. If you've done 3sets then just run game exactly like that except make sure all the 4 obstacles are disarmed.
