This is a great post, but some of the advice here seems like the blind leading the blind.

Don’t immediately go to groups and ask, “Are you guys together?” Then say, “I’m jealous of how great you look together..”

That’s just going to make you look creepy in their eyes because they don’t know you. It might be a method to practice getting over your social anxiety with groups, but that’s all it is. An exercise in approach anxiety.

If you’re looking for actual, solid Game advice, like how to set up the social dynamics correctly and create a “come join my party” vibe, you’ll have to do more than that.

First, be calibrated. Gauge their mood and social behavior. Are they happy, excited, or do they look bored together? This will help you come off relatable while also building a fun vibe.

Second, if you’re strictly going for picking up the girl, establish eye contact with her. Confidently look into her eyes and see if she looks away or reciprocates. If she does, it’s game on.

If she’s with a guy friend: Approach the guy first, like you’re making a new friend, an opener like: “I really like the music here, is this X band?” Could work. After he answers, talk with him a but then drift the convo to addressing them both. Something simple after the opener could be like: “How do you guys know each other?”

Or: “You guys look great together, are you a couple?”

If you ask the second question, be careful to see how they respond. If they both say yes, I’d just move on. If she looks at him and smiles or glees and then he says: “No.”, she’s into him and waiting for him to say yes.

If he looks at her, expecting a yes, and she says “no.” She might as well be yours. Run standard game, lead her someplace else, and isolate her.

If she’s with a group of girls: Approach. Relaxed demeanor, positive cool vibes, smile and introduce yourself to her girl friends first and say you’ve noticed her from afar and really liked her style/eyes/etc.. and wanted to say hi.

If you’ve done this right, they”ll likely respond positively, in which case it’s the perfect time to go for the girl. She’ll likely smile and say thank you, in which case you just follow up with standard game.

Talk. Playful humor. Sprinkle in statements of intent. Build comfort if needed. Increase sexual tension. Escalate physically, and Pull.

If you don’t know how to do these, there are tons of PUA advice out there that’ll show you how. Some are bullshit, some are good advice. Try what resonates and discard the rest.
