So my friend and I have started this annual summer roadtrip and we have discovered that it is easy as hell to open girls. Our roadtrip this year took us through Omaha so we figured we'd go for gold there. It was moderately successful and I was hoping to get some advice from you guys. Here it goes, first FR!

First, some descriptions.

It's me and my best friend C. I am 19, 6' 1", 165, with a sick Minnesota tan, but on the skinny side of normal. I have decent natural game, but I browse PUA to get confidence and tips/tricks. The thing I fail with the most is going in for the kiss-close but before that I'm good.

My friend C is 5' 11", 170 who generally looks like a nice guy. I love the kid but he fails pretty hard with girls. Not from a lack of trying, but from more of a obviously trying to hard thing. He's the worst over-thinker I know.

So we're cruising Omaha looking for some bits and we finally see a decent set. A hb9 (who seems to be the leader), hb8, and hb4.

C:"excuse me, do you girls live around here? We're from MN and have no idea what to do here" Girls: "Omg! There is nothing to do here!..."

For the next 5 minutes they love us. We neg their city and they just eat it up.

They eventually invite us to go to a park with them so we go with them. This is where things get dicey. My friend is obviously all over the hb9, and I mean rightly so, she is cute as shit, but I know his odds are slim. So it was a moral dilemma to either take her, the leader, for myself to increase our groups odds or do I just go for the hb8. I don't know what to do, since I don't want to piss him off, but he is smothering pretty bad. He has monopolized her from all of us but she keeps trying to rejoin the group. I eventually just let him go for her, but I neg/flirt with her and keep my mystery to me while my friend pours his all out. I talk to the hb8/4 and entertain them.

We go and get ice cream, the guy behind the counter thinks we're dating haha. We sit and tell them we're going mountain biking, etc. in Colorado (DHV!) but we'd be back though in a week. I'm leading this whole conversation but the whole time I am getting stared down by the hb9. Like 10+ seconds of direct eye contact. She's the only girl to almost make me break away first. Even bigger dilemma now, his girl is giving me signs.

They drive us to my car and as they drop us off I go to my car and play some Justin Bieber and do my J Biebs dance. They love it. I feel like I could shit on their chests and they would find it hilarious. Being the most interesting thing to happen to Omaha that night (That city shuts down at like 7:30!) we number close and say we'll be back through in a week.

We drive off and my friend starts texting her immediately. Saying some witty things at first, but then dwells on it for way too long. I send about 5 texts to the 9, I get the winky face and some IOIs. I build attraction then bail to maintain the mystery.

Fast forward a week and we're done with CO and are heading back through. Turns out the hb8 has a boyfriend so my chances are pretty much shot. My friend has built his girl up way too much. He says "I'd say our odds are 70%, but you're better with girls, what would you say they are?" I want to say "I'm better with girls because I don't calculate odds, I don't over think, and am just here for the good time" but I say "80%".

We both send the 9 a text the morning when we are going to see them all. She only texts me back. This creates another awkward situation, this girl is built up in my friend's mind, but here I am texting her about 2 feet from him. I can tell this pisses him off. He goes into a passive-aggressive power struggle mode with me. It's really weird, but I deal.

I text the 9 some playful texts and get strong IOIs, but I know it's going to be near to impossible to separate. She sends me a text that says, "Hey the other girls that you met are busy, so is it fine if I bring my friend M?" "Tell HB8/4 that we enjoyed meeting them and that I hope we see them soon. Yeah thats fine. Is this M girl good people?" "Haha Yeah I'll tell them! They really wanted to see you guys. Haha yeah she's good people." "Yeah they were cool. I'll have to be the judge of that." "HAha yeah you will. I think she's cool! haha"

She's packing in the haha's and the IOIs.

We meet up and this M girl is a 5 with a bad attitude. I figured the 9 would have had better friends. The 9 doesn't do introductions for M so I do them for her. (Great play!)

We banter a bit and the waitress, a hilarious 40 yr/old lady, comes and asks us, "One check, two checks, or 4 checks." I never know how to answer this so I say, "Surprise us, but who at this table to you think are dating?" She points and my friend and the 5 and then me and the 9. This is great because the ice cream shop guy thought we were dating too. I respond with a no it's actually me and this guy who are dating. The girls play along and act like they're dating too. I've noticed that girls love guys who have BFFs, and they eat it up. More banter through dinner and I keep getting stared down by the 9. I neg/tease her a lot because she loves it, and she starts doing it right back at me. Mirror/qualification/whoknows but it's shameless. Along with 15+ seconds of eye contact at a time, where it feels like she is staring into my soul. Mad signs.

The waitress comes and brings us two checks, she actually divided up our bills between my friend and I, and then the girls. Kinda funny actually. Not too pricey of dinner, but I still tip large because I know how important tips are. I always hide this though because I don't like flaunting money things. Then she asks me to help her calculate the tips and tries to just copy mine. I reluctantly show her because I legit didn't want to seem like I was douche-y money impressing her. She sees it though and just thinks I'm the greatest person ever. If the others weren't there I would go for the hand hold and walk her to a park and kiss-close in under five minutes, but they are.

We leave and walk around. My friend is trapping the 9 into walking next to him and is shamelessly flirting. He gets some kino back, which could mean she is just a flirty person in general, or that she likes us both, but it's unclear. My friend thinks this is set in stone that she wants his nuts. He's monopolizing her, I try and talk to the 5 to try and at least get C and the 9 separated so he could at least try, but it was unsuccessful. C helicopters over 9 for the duration of the night, we have nowhere to go since we're in downtown and these girls had to be home at midnight. (wtf?) So we had to bail.

My friend is disappointed and pissed off. He is pissed that nothing happened but still knows that there wasn't any good place to close. He keeps talking about how good he thinks he's doing. I try and tell him, "Dude you know how it's kind of about the pursuit of getting a girl in addition to getting them? It's also like that for them so let her work for you and lay off a bit."

He says, "That's just your style, I wouldn't have said that line you said about getting a lot of girls with the single ladies dance you know."

"Dude, I said I get a lot of single mothers with the singles ladies dance and that I think I'm doing it wrong... it was a joke."

"Yeah, never would have said that."

Can't make this shit up.

End of story, we make plans with her to go to the zoo but she has to bail. We drive down the road back home. She texts me that she's coming up in a few weeks for a concert, but I know by then C is already at school (SCORE!). I say lets hang out, she says yes. It's all good. I'm happy.

So guys, what should I have done differently? I know it would have been best to be the AMOG and go straight for the 9, but I did that last year so I kinda felt like I should give him a turn. Later I confirmed he was thinking this too.

It's tough know what to do when you're not trying to hurt your friends feelings. He really does try to emulate me. He talks exactly the same as I do nowadays and uses the exact same vernacular. He just hasn't got the whole delivery down.

Ehh, whatever I would say it was successful, I had fun and I'll see this girl again soon. I will do great with her when I do not have outside factors to deal with.

I am interested in what you guys would have done. What could have been better?

Thanks guys!
