yea boi. that next level is persistence

1 on 1 or nothing in my opinion

I made the mistake once of going out with a girl to a bar with a bunch of her friends that was a mistake had all her male her friends disqualifying and and her fat friend hating me and cock blocking dont do the party date

keep talking to her but try to get more investment before asking her out again

I think the banter is alright. not bad maybe a little bit too much on the 'nice guy side" tho.

I would re engage and try to get a bit more investment then soft close.

Alex says to soft close before going for the number and I definitely agree with this based on my experiences

they just look too posed to me
