The scene: My two male friends and I were walking down the street at night looking for a certain party, when we came across a 9 and her large cock-block friend (CB).

It turned out that they were looking for the same party, so we all walked together. My friends exchanged small talk with them both, while I exchanged some small C+F witht them.

My AFC friend tried to make some polite conversation, and to his bewilderment, he was blown straight out by the CB.

A couple of minutes down the track, the target was listening to her Ipod with one ear piece in and singing along. I saw an opportunity opportunity: I let her catch up to me, and had her give me the other earpiece. We walked for a bit, i subtly lead and showed dominance by walking over and making her follow me, tilting her head to keep the thing in her ear. She noticed this after awhile and gave me a playful shove, which earned her a decent butt-bump to the side.

She was into me and IT WAS ON! Within three seconds, however, the CB moved in, took the Ipod off us, said someting about "how dare you be stealin my tunes". Blown out.

I caught up with my friends, and we never found the party - BUT I walked away wiser so hey its cool.

Now, I think I know what i had to do: I had to play this same game - without the kino, of course - with the cock-block friend. Once i was in with her, i could divert some attention toward the target.

But holy shit, the C-B mustve weighed twice as much as me and was twice as dark. Not intimidating as such, but very hard to make friends with.

Anyone got tips or their own ideas on how they would have neutralisied this cock-block?
