Scenario: This weekend I went to bar to do some pick-ups and there were these two cute looking girls. So of course I opened the situation, talked/teased them etc. I was surprised how smoothly it went. Instead of me talking to the girls, the girls started to talk me. They were really exited and were competing of my attention. So far so good...
Problem: Now, first I got the impression that they had third friend somewhere close by, but later on when I asked about it they told they don't. They where also constantly together, even when they went to lady's room or to get new drinks. I had first planned to wait until I get a change to talk either one of them alone (they were both really cute, so didn't have preference) and take things from there. However, now I was stuck with to two girls who obviously didn't want to separate even for a minute. So basically I blew the situation because I couldn't isolate neither one of them. Although things were going nicely, I wasn't really making any progress towards closing.
Question: How should this kind of situation be handled? Is there some good way to isolate one of the girls in this kind of situation or what would be the best way to proceed?
EDIT: Yeah, and of course the obvious way would be to have a wing, who distracts the other girl, but how about if I have no wing as was the case in this situation.
Tohtori,
When you do not ahave a wing the answer is you don't isolate them from each other. The problem with that is one friend is left wondering what you are off doing with her friend. And the girl you are with is worrying about her being by herself. It doesn't make for a good situation and the girls are likely to freak out after a couple of minutes at the most.
The smart thing to do is to keep them together. Now at one point during your pickup you are just going to have to pick a target, give IOIs to that target, and also give her statements of interest. You may even turn to the girl you aren't as interested in and say,
"Your friend and I kind of like each other, is that okay?"
Anyways, what you should have done is taken them together and sat down on a couch or sofa if possible. You want to sit like the below diagram.
You - Target - Other girl
You are going to continue to ignore the target some have her lean back while you talk over her to the obstacle about whatever. Now the target can still hear what is going on, and she is even included in the conversation to some degree. You want it this way though so the target is still close enough to kino and stuff. From here you go into comfort "Connection" building and check for compliance from your target.
Make sure to not just talk to the target and leave the friend out of the conversation. In a loud venue it's possible for you to talk to the target and the obstacle not hear you. Don't alienate her. You work a two set together. In some ways you need attraction with both of them in order to gain compliance from them, however, one girl wins you and one doesn't at some point.
That should help answer you question a little better. Wish I could demonstrate it more but I think you know what I'm getting at here.
