this is a reply to the second sarge on this thread by the Architect
I think you were doing well till you asked what she was looking for in a guy, you may not mean anything by it, but guys have asked her this before and normally use this info to try and become her ideal man. The way you should view it is that you are already her ideal man.
If you ask a girl what her ideal guy is, then they will tell you a certain type of guy, ive found that with LTRS of mine that i then become their perfect guy (i dont mean this literally, but funny, intresting, my kind of style etc, this then become their default type...if you get me). This is because girls backwards rationalise, if they are attracted to you, then it must be because of how you look and how you act is what she is looking for in a guy. Ive had old ltr's pull guys just because they look like me or share similair style to me, and this is because i have become their *default type* (i find i can still easily pull these girls again because whats better than the original?!

). But this is something im currently field testing and may not be the case with every girl.
but i digress, another thing that may of helped is not pulling the fat girl back, it is usefull to have another girl there to say things like 'is she always like this' to, but its best to go at her lone wolf (which is difficult) than for you to pull an obstacle back in to the group and then expect her to leave you to it (which i feel is the harder strategy).
Also, you should of engaged the new obstacle (the male friend) and got an intro, and then say 'that this girl is baaad because she is saying guys who wear pink are gay' etc (not the best script but you get my drift).
future sarges, engage any new obstacles using the target e.g 'introduce me to your friend' then before giving her the chance to say anything say to the obstacle 'hey, im the Architect', then cut to routine or opinion, that way you are the center of the attention of the group and you can use the obstacle to take fatty away by saying 'this girl says you look bad in pink shirts' or something along those lines, then maybe you should be left with target eventually
just some ideas, hope it helps
