Wyatt, I Am Rolling, But Still Frustrated

[Guest]

Last night I went out to some Stillwater bars and I was in the zone. I felt like a girl could say anything to me and I wouldn’t have cared in the least. Plus I was super talkative and opened a bunch of sets. At the first bar, I did a couple warm-ups and then started talking with a girl I # closed 2 weeks ago. Things were on and I led her around the venue for social proof and for isolation practice. I was going to get sexual and run a lot of comfort but after we had taken maybe 5 steps, she runs into a guy friend and starts talking to him. I didn’t feel like engaging him so I talked to a friend and opened a 2 set with a hot girl and a lesser attractive one. I got the hot one in isolation while a super AFC friend talked to the obstacle. I had her qualified and we were playing the question game and everything looked on the up and up. During this, the girl from 2 weeks ago came over and started talking but I kind of blew her off and she walked away. About 2 minutes later, a friend of my new target comes over and completely interrupts the convo. I engaged him and won him over but they immediately went back into their conversation. My pivot did not come help even though she was standing right there. I ejected with plans of finding her in a few minutes and re-engaging.

I saw my original target on the other end of the bar but did not re-open. I then opened another decent girl waiting in line for a drink. The set went well, I qualified her and got into the question game. Then, for the 3rd time in 10 minutes a friend of hers comes over. He doesn’t really interrupt and I keep gaming. Some of my friends show up so I talk to them for a bit. Then, before I know it, the target has walked over to a friend and is in deep conversation. FUCK!!! I did another lap and saw my second target still talking to her friend. Fuck it. I leave for another bar. At the second bar I got a social circle number close from a girl with a bf. Then we go to the third bar.

I was talking to a friend of a friend and he asked me how I meet random girls. I said, “Like this” and proceed to open the nearest set easily. I include him in the set and he is amazed. He doesn’t engage his target well enough and she drags my target away. The super AFC and the friend of a friend both are grilling me about how I engage girls so well. They ask how I would open the 6 set with 1 guy and 5 girls that were dancing. I open with high fives saying “You guys are fun, are you nice?” I then focus on a hot blond. I think the 2 guys tried to talk with some of the girls but got blown out. I find out that my original target is dating the guy in the set. Then I switch to the birthday girl and isolate her to the bar. 2 of her friends follow but they are not interfering. I run this set well, start to go sexual and spend 5 minutes in comfort and number close in case I lose her. I then try to move her again to meet my friends. She comes and so do her friends. I started talking with the friends of my target to win them over and the super AFC starts talking to my target. Needless to say, she blows him out immediately. Before I know it, she walks over and starts talking to this guy and is hanging all over him. She ends up leaving without me noticing. Leaving the bar, I number close a girl on the street while my friend talks to her friend.

[b]So my game was really tight last night. I hooked every set and could have number closed every set without the distractions. But it pisses me off to no end when the friends interfere. I never let it show in the bar but it is frustrating. I have a pivot but she virtually never knows what to do. I am going to work with her on this. There is a guy who has winged me before but he rarely makes it out. Does anyone have any suggests of dealing with these inevitable interrupts?

On a side note though, it is sometimes nice to see how amazed AFCs are by simple things like opening a set. The stuff I am doing now I would have killed to be able to do a year ago but now my goals have shifted. I want a VERY solid number close or a SNL. Anything else is kind of meaningless. But that is how I push myself...

nice post......I used to never open and now i am and am having this same problem....dealing with the friend. I try to bring them into the conversation, but then the hot chick decides to offer me up as a sacrifice to her ugly friend.

I think the solution I am going to have to come to is to get a good wing/pivot in Stillwater. I know some great ones in OKC but they usually don't come down here.
