In the meantime, a girl tried to sit down in 23F or G. The guy pointed at her and said: "Wait, don't sit down yet, you may need to sit elsewhere cuz we want to sit together". The girl just looked at him and said: "Oh, ok..."
How would you react to that? I don't think I would do too well with an approach like that.
