Hey everyone. I want to analyze this conversation with HB8 that I had today. Today was the first day of the semester (university).

Me friends and I (mixed group - I have no problem getting friendzoned) were hanging out on campus when this girl I hardly knew (met her through a friend) was walking by with her friends. I called out her name and she stopped and hugged me, and we got to talking. She then told her friends that she'll meet them at XYZ (IOI?).

We have a casual chat about how shitty last semester was and she told me she failed some courses. So I tried frame amplification - told her it was better to fail and repeat than barely pass at all cuz then her GPA would suck. She laughed.

Then I told her I was leaving for uni abroad in September and she said that she was leaving too. I was surprised to meet someone else in my situation. We chatted about the details for abit, then I suggested that we should go clubbing this week and she was very enthusiastic about it.

At this point I should have let the conversation trail off, but my AFC side felt it necessary to point out that I actually hate clubbing (but prefer house parties) and that partying alot is expensive (she might think I'm poor lol). Which I'm guessing DLVed myself, since she pointed out it's who you hang out with. So at this point I suggested she shouldn't keep her friends waiting, and told her I'd see her at the club.

I know however I kept the mood light and I was funny whever possible and she was laughing.

BTW using trance words to make a deeper connection is hard work. I coudn't focus on what she was saying trying to pickup the pattern.

I forgot to mention she mentioned like twice that she couldn't believe I remembered her name...since we only met once before that.

If this was the situation in a club, would it be right to go for the kiss-close? (already got her number lol) What else would I have needed to do? Maybe some kino?

Cool..but I really want to kiss close this chick at least. I've only ever kissed one girl.

Been reading some PUA material (the game, mystery method).

Was wondering if the *stare at her lips* and ask her if she wants to kiss me.. is this suitable? Keep in mind this chick is a friend of a girl who I previously told I liked, but she friendzoned me.

Or are there better ways to go for a kiss-close? I know its not hard once you follow the escalation ladder(?)

Didn't know if I should make a separate thread for this.

HB8 friendzoned me last semester and I didn't talk to her over the vacation period at all. Before school started back she would message me just asking how I been etc.

Since this semester had started I have hardly spoken to her at all, and I *think* she's wondering why that is? Lots of eye contact in and out of class. Especially since I was a real nice guy before (she confessed to me that she hasn't known me very long yet she feels like could trust me with anything - get that alot - what does this mean?)

This girl is in my class. I see her everyday. Is there any possibility of sexually escalating? She is a good girl.

The one thing I said to her so far is "wow you got contacts..you're like a different person now. I'll have to get to know you all over again." Did I just throw myself back in the friendzone by showing too much interest?

I think you could have pulled. She is leaving, you are leaving, and why not have some fun? It is just taking it there but, its never too late and there are more girls to meet too.

New development:

I've stopped being so godamn nice to HB8 who friendzoned me last semester, and focused on other people instead. Instead of trying to make small talk with her or sit next to her in class, I stick to my group of friends now and for the most part ignore her, only hailing her out when I see her.

She noticed and messaged me asking why I'm ignoring her.. I just dismissed it saying I didn't realise I was doing that..kind of made a joke out of it, telling her to pinch me if I ever do it..

Is this a IOI from her? A few times she ended up close to me at places and she would act like if she was going to say something but then stay quiet. What is this about.
