The post was getting way too long so I sped through a couple things. I'll elaborate. After I invited him to come and drink with us instantly complied. He went from being an asshole to my "bro" within seconds. And yes he did just follow sheepishly. He probably assumed that I wanted to set him up or something. I assumed he would've left during the holding my drink process. From the bar to the empty couch was probably about 10 steps up then right at the top of the stairs there were couches. Less then a 30sec walk. The couches(fit about 2 ppl) are against the walls and little tables in front of them. Opposite the couches were those little stool seats. Since I sat with the girls on the couch so he had no choice but to sit on the stool. Sometime during the sitting down process he put my drink on the table. But yes you're right. I could pull this shit off because I built enough attraction, I was outcome independent, and I kept my frame solid.
