The Dating Game – Scenario With A Girl..

Okay guys I love this board you guys have some great takes.
While I dont post as much I do read.

Anyways, I finished “The Game” and it has changed much
of my perspective.

I pretty much view my interactions with women as a experiement
to see how my game has or is progressing, what I am good and
what I need to work on. It isnt all about winning and
results.

That said I met a girl through a buddy and while drinking
at my place I showed interest in her the way an AFC does.
Complimenting her on her looks weak shit like that.

I am interested and we have flirted some but she is now
trying to hook me up with her friend. She is hosting a party
saturday night with friends. After my prior debacle
I am curious what strategy you guys would suggest to get her
attention.

Again I would like to get to know her but I really
feel like this is more an opportunity to improve my game.

The only thought process I have had is to either neg her or totally
ignore her and hit on her friends in front of her.
I dont believe the neg would work however because I believe she
does not have the highest self esteem. She has been in abusive
relationships in the past and I know that. In a situation like this
what would you guys approach be?
