Do you mean peeled off the less attractive friend of the hot girl so my friend could have an unimpeded shot at her? Absolutely. In fact, the key is to approach the less attractive girl first. Her hot friend can't believe that you'd talk her first, which throws her off balance.
I dated my wife long-distance for quite some time before we were married. As such, I was a tremendous wingman. I wasn't interested in scoring, and I didn't care about getting rejected. My out? Always the same. You send all the wrong signals to the less attractive girl. The hot girls is so happy that her friend is getting some attention that she allows the pair to be split up. You take the girl away for a drink at another bar, doing a lot of listening. When your friend has been given enough time to have closed the deal or have gone home you say to the girl, "You know, I miss my girlfriend so much. It's so nice just talking to a woman with no sexual subtext." You put her in the position to either be a bitch, or to be disappointed but understanding. Their better angels always come to the front.
