Out with a group on friday. one hot chick in the group. she knows she's high demand kind of quality so i play hot and cold with her all night. definitely felt IOIs and some kino from her though i'm not an expert on evaluating this yet. At the end of the night, i get her number (k-close on the cheek with a lingering hug). reckon i'd call her after weekend, again to play laid back and not desperate. Call early this week, goes straight to voicemail so I leave a message. Only get a return call today (thursday) saying let's get together next week and she'll invite another one of our mutual friends (male) along. feels like a friendzone situation though wondering if it's a test. friend said he'll say he's coming and cancel last minute if it'll help but i think as is it will just be awkward. can this be saved??? not gf material, but she's hot and would like to get in there and add her to the rotation if it's possible.

let me know what can be done here.

firstly, from my understanding a kiss on the cheek is NOT a kiss close regardless of how long she hugs you.

if all 3 of you hang out and your game is on point (being the alpha) then it shouldn't matter. though it would probably much easier for you if were just you and her. Either she hasn't received enough IOI's from you or she doesn't have comfort yet.

I think she does have comfort though because she called you back and wanted to hang out. Also I think subconsciously you probably haven't given her enough IOI's because you said earlier that you don't want to date her. maybe give some subtle playful clues that you MIGHT be interested in her if she lives up to your standards. i think this is done best through texting nowadays.

If you succeed at that it probably wont matter whether or not the other friend comes along.

Things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Get you buddy to last-minute-ditch, then hang out with the girl, be fun, show interest, DHV, and use lots of playful kino, and go with it man.
Dont go into anything saying it will be awkward. Go into it thinking you are going to F-close her.
confidence
Confidence
CONFIDENCE

Just be carefully not to be creepy, and use compliance tests every time you want to step up the attraction or kino.

Good luck man

thanks guys.

it was a group of 5-6 on friday but i had quite a bit of alone time with her. she's a self-proclaimed alpha female and gets a lot of attention so balancing the DHV and giving IOIs wasn't so easy (am still developing my game). felt some connection. she bot me shots, was quite touchy feely and apologised when she left my side at one point and came back. of course that could just be that she is a very overtly friendly person. tempted to drop this one because i think i'm in the friend zone. we have mutual friends so might just leave it to the next outting where we run into each other and play the game over again. the text where she says let's hang out next week with the third person is not something i know how to work with (to me the second encounter should be a date!). that guy will happily do a last minute ditch but again if i misread her signals on fri than it will just be two 'friends' hanging out. think i didn't do enough at the first encounter to give her an indication that i want more than friendship from her.

so far 48 hours later now and i haven't replied back and our mutual friend has no interest to meet up with her next week unless it will help me. honestly i just wanna f-close her and if it's good than keep f'ing till we get bored with eachother (to put it bluntly!)
