This is more of a social momentum post, but it is relevant to approaching sets generally.

Do you ever go to a club and see a super hot girl, only to see some douchebag with her and think there's no point approaching? Wrong. Start approaching guy/girl couples more and you will find the results are often very interesting. The reasons for approaching couples:

1) You don't know for sure who the guy is. He could be her friend, brother, colleague or even gay. Approaching eliminates the possibilities.

2) If the couple is genuine, be super friendly to the guy because you want to make it clear you're not trying to steal his girl (even if that was your devious plan). Now that you've established they are a couple, use it as social building exercise. They may even end up becoming good friends of yours. The more people you know, the more women you will have access to. If the girl is hot, I gurantee she will have hot friends. Birds of a feather.

3) Even if the couple is genuine, they may have only just started dating, so her options may still be open. If this is the case you have to be respectful to the situation or you will end up getting into a fight and get thrown out the club. If you decide to go down this route, proceed with caution and discretion.

4) Couples who hang out together all night often look bored. Do them a favour and engage them in conversation!
