Suffering with some AA? Approaching your prey in a group situation can really help you with this problem. But if you really want to hook your woman, you are going to have to separate her from the group somehow.

Let me explain. Lets say its a group of four women, A, B, C, and D. D is the hottest, and you obviously want to get with her. Introduce yourself to everyone, but leave D till last. Once you get to her, make her feel special. It can be anything. Shaking her hand and looking her in the eyes longer than the others, giving her a compliment, give her a goofy nickname, anything.

Now that you have expressed interest, you need an IOI from her back. To do this, focus the conversation to only A, B, and C. While this is happening, if D tries to pipe into the conversation, or grab your attention in any way by making a comment of her own. You got her. If you need more IOI to make sure of it, be passive about her comment. Acknowledge it, but don't build upon it. Focus the conversation away from her again, and if she is interested, she will try to take over again.

Mix this in at the beginning, then isolate. With this technique, you can make sure that you aren't wasting an isolation attempt on a woman you have no shot with.
