She is the target. The friend is the obstacle. Be it male a female, so many AFC's make the fatal mistake of ignoring the friend or obstacle when making sweet-talk with the target. An ignored obstacle is pissed and getting more pissed all the time. Undoubtedly, the target's friends have much more influence over her than you could ever exert in 5-10 minutes, which means that when the pissed obstacles will eventually start interfering with your conversation, dragging your target away (come on, we have to go home or to another place etc.), talking with your target and ignoring you, making comments and just generally breaking the mood. you're dead meat. If you were good enough to make the target interested in you, she might be able to slip you her number while her friend is already dragging her out the door. But more likely than not, in an atmosphere poisoned by the pissed presence of the obstacle, you'll never have a chance with the target.
So now what? The only option is to befriend the obstacles before engaging the target. Make the target's friends - male, female, brothers, co-workers, whatever - your best mates before you move on to working you magic with the one that really drew you to their friendly circle in the first place. Have a good time doing it, make lots of friends, shake hands, be humorous, lift everyone's spirits. Make them laugh, feel good and like you Once you're done that, you can move to working your target without having to fear anything from your new-found buddies. Who, by the way, you have already negged by paying the least amount of attention to. This has gotten her intrigued about you as she's probably accustomed to being adored everywhere she goes But not by you, so either you're accustomed to beautiful women or there's something about her that you don't like, either way, she has got to find out, she has got to make you adore her, she is so accustomed to that, why is she not paying attention to me!?, gotta step up my efforts with this guy!, hehe
One more thing - once you've disarmed the obstacle or obstacles and engaged the target, and this is critical, you need to separate her from her friend or friends. If she is with a friend, you better have a wingman to keep the obstacle busy and help in the effort of separating them. Very many girls don't like to be seen kissing or touching someone in front of others or friends. They have the issue of reputation to deal with etc. But once you're in a private place, she's free to do whatever she wants without having to think oh no, what's my friend going to think about this, is she gonna tell anyone or my boyfriend or mom? etc. Let's say you separated two friends, you're with one girl and your wingman with another girl someplace else. You and the girl have no idea what you're your wingman and her girl are doing. But that doesn't mean you can't imagine This is where it gets interesting - she's gonna think her friend is probably already making out and having all the fun, maybe even having sex already While her friend is probably thinking the same thing So being separated and not knowing what the other one is doing, both of them are much more receptive to all sorts of advances
Applied with a wingman: if your wingman and his girl seem to be getting along, tell your girl (without the other girl overhearing) that you should let those two be alone and leave. Your girl will certainly initially wonder, what you mean by that. Open her eyes with these - Are you blind or something? Can't you see what they're up to? Or do you want to watch them? Don't you know how embarrassing it is when two people want to be alone and there's someone watching?. This should make her understand and now the two of you can leave. But the beauty of this is, that you leave with your girl thinking, that her girlfriend is gonna get some in a few minutes The girlfriend however sees the two of you leaving and can't help but think that you left so that you and your girl could go have some private fun Now that you've got both of them thinking, that the other one is going to get her brains screwed out in a few moments, neither of them wants to be left out in the cold - voila!
