I'm younger than you, and I share a semilar mentality toward the dating scene (and women in general) that you have.
The sad fact is that the chick you're not interested in is going to scathe any time you ignore her. She will get over it, and eventually someone will settle for her, or vice versa. But you don't have to be that guy. Go after the cute girl who didn't reject you, full steam ahead.

Yes, I agree, and I intend to do just that. There is a hitch, though. The cute one who didn't reject me (the same one who stuck it through to the end with me and The One I'm Not Interested In in all the dinners so far, also along with the other girl going after my guy friend who is there too) has a BF back home across the ocean in Taiwan.
The weird thing is: on the first day we met, this cute one with BF asked for my email, and wanted to take a pic with me (only The One I'm Not Interest In did that also). Then she sticks it through to the end, while all other girls leave... And she's always smiling and calm, no change in mood... And she didn't seem to mind when The One I'm Not Interested In cockclocked me again, whereas the other cute one who possibly rejected me got up and left looking pissed off.
She is confusing me like no tomorrow... she has a BF back home! Why does she always stay, always smile at me, and is so nice to me in general.
My friend's theories:
1) She is playing wingwoman for The One I'm Not Interested In.
2) She is more comfortable hanging out until the end BECAUSE she is NOT single. (Makes sense..)
3) The One I'm Not Interested In is using her to make me stay. Heck, she was the only reason I stayed with the group after day 1 (before I noticed the other cute girl).
4) She's decoy so that I might hit on her but not on other, eligible girls.

This is, after all, an internet forum. If Halx or one of the mods didn't like the word, then they could add it to the forum censoring tool. Since that obviously hasn't happened, I feel you have whatever right you wish to use the term for whatever purpose you feel is appropriate for communicating your situation and views.

Thanks for your understanding on this front. This was what I felt when I made the original post.
EDIT: PS, from now on, I will refer to "The One I'm Not Interested In" as TOINII: "Toinii". Maybe this new word is urbandictionary.com-able
