So last night I went out a alone for some daygame at an outdoor mall with little success at first. Eventually I see a friend and his friend. My friend is with his girlfriend who also brought her friend. It appeared that his friend was there just so the girl's friend wasn't third wheeling. I noticed though the guy was all over her. Overly over her. Reading from Neil Strauss's "The Game" I learned to let him be all over and talk to her intermittently while focusing more on my friend. Because of that I was able to gain more control over the situation and was able to have a good conversation with the girl with a number close that had me holding both her arms and a date happening next week. Felt pretty good to apply the information I read...
