So I was at the gym and saw a cute girl and her friend working out. The freind wasn’t that attractive but she was.

At first I wondered if the freind would be a problem. But it hit me, failure with this is no different than failure with a single girl by herself. Might as well try.

I just waited for them to be between sets and walked over and looked at her friend first and asked, “would you mind if I asked your friend a question?” Which she said yes.

At this point I basically launched into how I talk when one on one with the attractive girl.

I said “hi, I’m david, and you caught my eye and I was wondering if you would be up for getting to know each other better?”

She he had a sort of smile on her face. I think she was flattered to some extent.

The answer she muttered ,with a smile, was “Maybe”.

To which I said , “so yes” and this is where it went down hill , I wish I knew how better to handle maybes like that in order to get past her shields better. But at this point she said shook her head “no” and her friend volunteered “oh she has a boy friend”. Which I assume is just blocking behavior given the maybe I got out of the girl.

Any way I just accepted defeat and told her to take it as a compliment and walked off.

Any one have any idea how to better handle that maybe? Or how better to open groups. This was my first time approaching a group. (2 girls)
