Field Report: Made the wrong friend

So i'm out at this social gathering at school, havin a few beer. I decide to go out and have a smoke where there's a 2 set of HB8s plus one dude. When I went out I seen all 3 of them and figured they were all friends so I introduced myself to the group and started talking to everyone. I figured my best chance was to get on the good side of the targets 2 friends first so they would't get in my way. I started what was supposed to be a quick convo with the dude but he was too dense and he thought I wanted to be his buddy er something.

I know she was in to me cuz she was eyeing me inside before we went out and while I was out there she kept lookin at me and givin me various ioi's. But the dude would not take then hint. GAWD.

I didn't think that the best approach would have been to be point blank blunt and spell it out for him cuz I still didn't have much a rapport built with the other HB8. What should I have done?

You needed to draw the girls into your conversation. You should have been continuously talking about topics that the girls would have talked with you about and asked them their opinion. Primarily the friend and then after a little while the target.
