Supposing you encounter the following situation at your local night game venue of choice:
You see another guy who's a regular at the spot from time to time and get along pretty good. Usually he's out solo or with a couple male friends, sometimes with a girl. He's friendly, but doesn't appear to be particularly "game aware", though we know looks can be deceiving.
Then some Saturday night rolls around where the club is having a special event, and he shows up as usual, except this time he's got three nice-looking girls in tow. You greet him as you usually do, and he gives you the weird "Oh, ah, hello there good sir!" in return like you're a guy he ain't never seen before.
I'm of two minds on the matter:
option a: he's just a regular guy who happened to get lucky and manage to convince three chicks from Tinder to come out with him to the event, maybe he bought their tickets, who knows. Terrified you're gonna swoop one of his options because he has no clue which one it might work out with. No game, he's on team "hoes before bros." Next him.
option b: he's operating at another level. He's actually a perfectly fine person to know, he's just giving you the cold shoulder as a way of saying "You seem like a cool guy, but I usually see you out here solo. Maybe I can trust you to be a decent wingman, but I probably can't. Wait until you have a little more social proofing before you want to roll with us." At some level I gotta say that any guy who can pull three good-looking girls out with him (assuming he's not gay which I don't believe he is) must have game of some fashion. Even if he's buying their tickets, it's not like this special event is $500 a head.
