First FR here! Advice appreciated!

1) How should I deal with having to go along with my wing's stories/routines/etc.? Do we need a pregame thing set up?
2) How do you deal with crowding (like the pool players)? Do I ignore, "AMOG", or what?
3) How do I get information to my wing when he's in the zone like that?

1. Me and my wing's dont lie, we have nothing to lie about and nothing to fake. We are genuinely cool fellas. If you do intend on lying make sure you and your wing are on the right page. Me and my wing always whisper into to each other's ears to give each other up and update and to make sure we are thinking along the same lines. Sometime's we talk in vietnamese if my wing is vietnamese.

2. You should of bounced her off to another spot, if you smoke you can go outside. If you drink you can go grab a drink, anyhow if your friend is busy you should of isolated your own set. This is the most basic of compliance testing, if she won't go somewhere simple with you she will definitely not go home or sleep with you. This also stops chicks from cockblocking you if she has no friends to fail you.

3. You don't need to, if he's busy you can go hey look your friends busy lets go grab a drink. Never the less your wingman needs to maintain social awareness at all times. That is probably his down fall, one day he could probably get punched in the head from being in the 'zone' with a girl who has a boyfriend and boyfriends entourage is all watching while he is clueless and has no idea there are 15 big dudes that wanna murder him. Look that example is extreme but very possible, I'm just stating why he needs to have social awareness instead of getting lost in a bubble with a girl. A basketball player minds his own game all the while knowing instinctively where his team mates are.

Hope that helps buddy! and most of all make sure you try and do as many sets as possible. Most pick up artists would have done thousands of sets over their career and cherry pick their best sets to make an example. The mere fact that you are stuck on something so simple as this two sets say to me that you don't approach a minimum of 20 different sets a week.
