doesn't it seem like I was only in there to hit on them?
You didn't give me enough information in the original post to comment on this previously. However, if you have that thought then it sounds like you have that lingering thought. You should walk into a venue and follow the 3-second rule to keep your social proof. Then you go from set to set even if it's a mixed set, and even if the girls are ugly. You do that to build social proof. If it's a set you don't like don't spend much time with them. By the time you get to the set you want, you have built enough social proof that you are just being friendly.

They have seen you work the room, and are waiting for you.
So I challenge you, next time roll from set to set using openers and having fun. You'll get sharper faster, and you'll be better prepared by the time you hit a set with a target you want.
