Thursday night. A quick trip to Walkabout. Put my learning into practice and admire my success. The plan was simple.
An immediate two set upon arrival. This should get my confidence up. I walk up to them. The cute ones eye contacting me. I try to stay cool on the inside, but I'm excited. My mind freezes. The openers upon openers I had previously pumped into my brain had disappeared, it's simply crucial I do something. I high five her. 'Hi my names Kirsty' she says. I detect an Australian accent. I love Australians, such out going characters. I neg her. 'It's nice to meet you thirsty.' She smiles. She playfully hits me on the shoulder. 'No it's Kirsty.' We both smile. Could it be this easy? Then suddenly the mother hen intrudes. 'Let's get a drink' she shouts. I quickly get my focus and try to introduce myself to the mother hen, she hands out her hand in the way the Queen would do to a peasant. She starts dragging the target, doing the 'this is my bitch' and spooning performance. Has the moment passed. Kirsty promises to come back.
To my surprise she does, and, we begin making small talk, about travelling and how she works on a boat and I begin storytelling about the time I traveled on a boat to Croatia. But her friend constantly interrupts. I neg her. The response is negative. She begins screaming about getting drinks. Kirtsy asks her to get her one. Yes. She's done the isolation for me. We kiss. And upon the friends arrival I have the number and Facebook add. I exit. Job done. My first pick up. Sort of anyway.


But my question is how could I have handled the friend better? Like should I have been dominant, as she was really making things awkward, or just let her stamp her authority? Any help will be appreciated.

Many Thanks for reading.

I think by the number closing at the end you did fine, but at one point she walked away with her friends and you waited. You should hav walked away and make her find you and if her has that would of been a 100% 2 IOIs but im a "Rookie" so what do i know......?

IMPE and from the many threads I've read, you should always befriend the cock blocks, I wouldn't have Negged her. She sounds like she was a real stuck up over protective type, so the fact that you've got the number (Nice one by the way) may not count for anything if you've pissed off the cockblock with a neg, she may have been in your targets ear straight after saying negative things about you because of it, which may lead to a flake on your day 2.

But nice work in getting the K-close and number, and I was impressed with handling the mind blank you got with a high five! Might steal that one

What runnerpart said was good advice, don’t stand there waiting for her to re-interact with you, go and open more sets, build some social proof and generally socialise,

But you controlled the set fine, alright it could of gone smoother but your at the very early stage of pick up and you got a kiss and number, that’s a fucking success in my book.

Where you directing all your conversation towards the target? The best way to handle a cock block is to interact with her just as much as you are the target, in some cases more. Win her approval then isolate the target.

Or acquire a wing/teach a friend how to wing and have them entertain the obstacle whilst you seduce the hb with your mad skills.

I would not have negged the girl being a bitch lol because that usually just makes them more bitchy, unless she was really annoying me to the extent I didn't give a shit.

Sounds like you did pretty good to me, a kiss and a number close. You got exactly what you wanted

Now are you gonna txt her?

Good job, you handled it well imo.

Yeah thanks for the advice and feedback guys. I text her, and we bantered back and fourth so it was fun. She's going Ibiza on Sunday so I try open more girls in the meantime.

Yeah but kowalski... this is one in 5 times where the girl didnt just follow the lead of her piers... so its PLAN B in case it wer to happen again wars are won on backup planning.

To be fair... U HAVE TO WIN A COCK BLOCK OVER.

somethin like WOW YOU ARE A GOOD LOOKING GROUP... anythin

if they are older... R U SISTERS... even tongue in cheek

If they are dominant... wow i like your energy!! or I LIKE YOUR AURA any crap just somethin u like

People love to be noticed... especially cockblocks who are getting less attention that their hot weaker friend
