This isn't theory; I have done this. It is incredible. You need to have some seriously good social skills, a wingman and some luck to pull this off though.

The basic premise is that you are going to use your no-fear approach ability to ask someone from a group of random strangers (group A) who they'd like to meet. You then go and introduce one member of the group to their target (group B). As you take the person from group A, leave your wingman behind as a temporary fill-in. If the exchange person from group A looks like they're fitting into the group, request that you take one of the the group B people back to group A to 'make up the numbers'.

Once the people from the two different groups are suitably settled in with their new friends, get your wingman back. Now you take a member from group B on to meet someone from another group and start all over.

The first couple of groups are hardest* as you're just the 'crazy person'. Once you've done several, other groups will start off by looking at you to work out what fun thing you're doing. After a while, they will start to feel really left out if you don't involve them.

If this works, you've turned the entire place from being lots of separate groups into one big group and you have godly levels of social proof.

*if you're there with a bunch of friendly AFCs, use them as a group B; you life will be so much easier.

Do you open them as a normal group and from there take them over or.. is it the opener itself?

Who's them in this case?

Group A, and B wasn't sure whether u meant open blend into the group, dhv a bit, and then go from there or literallly go straight in with the direct question...

Group A - start chatting (eg. while waiting to get drinks) then mention that it's great to meet new people. Ask them how many people they've met tonight.

Group B - have you met... We saw you guys and thought you looked interesting so came to say hi.

If you're socially strong, you'll be creative enough to pull this off most of the time. Otherwise, probably not for you!

This is interesting for sure.

Methinks best in a location where people can actually hear themselves talk.


Perhaps good for a bar that seems dead with everyone keeping to their own groups, maybe on a sleepy weekday. Use daygame-y friendly guy direct tactics, etc.

Will try.
