So, I've been going out every day this past week (mostly to festivals and other events) to practice approaches and just being more social in general. I'm definitely getting better bit by bit. A few times, girls actually opened me. I just made strong eye contact and smiled a little, and they said Hi. It really blew me away.

Which brings me to the point of this post: Yesterday I was opened by a girl from the US who recently moved to a nearby town. She's maybe a 5.5 or 6 to me, but she's got a nice butt and great personality. (Also I'm rather desperate.) We had great rapport when we first met, plus a bit of kino. At the end of the day we exchanged numbers and planned a meeting at another festival where she was meeting some other friends she made. I just returned from that event, exhausted from all the walking and socializing.

Here's the thing: With everything I've learned so far, I think I could create attraction here, or at least practice this aspect of the game for once. On the other hand, this girl would make an incredible wing-woman. She's outrageously outgoing, constantly high-energy, never shuts up, and has zero Approach Anxiety. She's a "natural" if I ever saw one.

So, what should I do? Practice escalation with her, or try to recruit her as a wing/social proof? If the latter, how would I go about proposing such a thing?

Related question: How (if at all) can you do approaches when hanging around with a mixed group of acquaintances? I mean, it was fun spending time with this girl and the other tag-alongs, but today I passed so many gorgeous women who I would have loved to open.
