. My plan was to have him indirectly introduce himself but not talk about me. He would get close to her enough for her to trust him. Then he would open up how he knows who I am, and DHV me and show he respects me.
The one that opens the girl, owns the game and gets the girl. That means the girl will like your friend, instead of liking you. When he introduces you to her, you will be 'someone he (your friend) knows'.
Even when it will be clear that your friend is introducing you to the girl, you will not get the girl. Why?? Very simple, the girl knows that you are not self-confident enough to approach her by yourself. And you have a friend to do the 'hard work' for you.
My advice: if you like the girl, just approach the girl yourself. You control the frame, and only you can influence the outcome of the game.
