This really pretty woman in a great sundress… fuck I’m re-getting pissed off only to think about it :S is walking ahead of me, one guy turns his head.

She walks a bit too fast, I’m thinking if it’s worth it to speed up, which usually isn't a great beginning, but then luckily an oncoming car makes her stop.

APPROACH
Now I'm by her side
“do you speak English”
“yes”
A bit aloof, while she begins walking again
“I thought you were really pretty, (now I look ahead because I don’t wanna come across as giving her too much attention) and I wanted to meet you”
5 seconds and I return my gaze towards her, we slow down and she stops completely, my lucky day I think, now she’s smiling and it seems on
“I am xxx, hi”
“cassia”
“nice to meet you Cassia”


COCKBLOCK
With the tail of my eye I can already see the oncoming friend, she’s very fast approaching and I an already feel it spells trouble.
She hugs her and sticks to her and looks at me as if to say “she’s with me”
I hope you’re dead by now, you childish cockblock :)

I address the cockblock
“hi, I was just talking to your friend Cassia” (here still very in control, neutral slow voice)
back to Cassia
“are you from here”
"yes"
"are you single"
"yes"
Fantastic, I’d like to meet you for a coffe one of these days

A bit of hesitancy, while the cockblock keeps hugging her and physically moving her away little by little.
"I don't know... I just ended a long relationship"
"God, I don't wanna be your boyfriend, it's just a coffe" (smiling, but I wasn't super relaxed, I could see myself going to lose already)
"I know... "


Cockblock:
"she's not interested"
and now really pulls her away for good.


WHAT COULD HAVE I DONE?
I thought later on about:

1. addressing the cockblock saying something "do you care for your friend? Then you should let her meet some amazing guy"
2. give the cockblock a bit more attention, like asking her name and shaking hand
3. telling the cockblock as she tried to pull her away "can you stop, I'm not talking to you, she can take her own decisions" (this one possibly would push the girl to side with the cockblock though)
4. talk to the girl "look, I know she doesn't like the two of us meeting again, but I'll tell you what, put your number here (hand the phone), I'll give you a call later on and maybe we can meet again. And you can tell your friend here you put in the wrong number"

Re: FR – Dealing with daytime cockblock – what should have I done?

I'm not sure that anything could be done here. Remember that friends cockblock for all sorts of reasons, including jealousy... I make it a rule to ask what she's doing, and if it's waiting for a friend I basically number grab immediately and then chat her up after. Number grab in front of friend or grouo basically never works IMO, unless you can separatw them... she's too conscious that a daytime approach is somehow outside social norms, and even if you can get past that, the friend(s) will likely cockblock you after you leave. Anyway in this case your window was virtually non existent so I would not sweat it. A useful reference point. Maybe you could have got some mileage with strong EC and not breaking circle, maybe a joke like "do you know this person?" might have shamed her into being more assertive. I doubt it.
