My first post. Pretty new to this, but picking up quickly, pun intended.

Context: Went out last night (Wednesday) for some practice and opened up a 2 set of French au pairs. Their guy friend butted in, but I handled it well, making him my "buddy" and using humor and general attitude to make myself AMOG. I got IOIs from both of the girls but focused more of my kino and eye contact on the cuter of the two, so I got more IOIs from her.

#-close: I couldn't isolate her from the two others, and they were leaving. I considered getting only the HB7's number but it would've been awkward because the rest of the group was also paying attention to me. So I decided to pull a "hey guys, let's hang out again, give me your numbers". (Was this a good move or should I have just gotten her number?) I threw in some last-minute kino with both girls by doing the "European kiss on two cheeks", told the guy that he seems cool but I'm not gonna kiss him, got a few laughs, and we parted ways.

Question: Earlier we had talked about doing something for Cinco de Mayo on Saturday but made no hard plans. I want your advice on which of the three plans I should pursue: 1) Move quicker, preempt the soft group plans, and take her out tomorrow (Friday) night. This would allow me to isolate and escalate faster. But if she turns it down, I wouldn't want to make myself available for the next day (the Cinco de Mayo stuff) and would have to wait until next week to make a second ask, cooling some of the attraction I built up. 2) Play safer, text all of them about Cinco de Mayo plans, and continue there. This would lessen the chance of a flake/turndown because we had already discussed it so I know they're available and interested. I could also get a chance to show social proof by bringing friends (I was flying solo at the bar). But I feel like this option opens up the risk of getting friendzoned because I'm making plans with the group rather than just her, and I'd have more trouble escalating because we'd once again be in a group (the way I see it, if I don't escalate quicker next time I see her, she loses attraction and we're done). 3) There's also the option of inviting her along to watch a baseball game Saturday afternoon with my friends. But it gives her too easy of an out because the French don't like baseball.

What are your thoughts? Also, what kind of schedule do au pairs keep?

Random shit from the night: -Ran into a PUA 15 years my senior. Been looking for a good wing because most of my friends suck at it. -She was in an intense debate about French politics with some AFC, arguing for a more conservative candidate. I was ignoring them to not seem needy but at one point walked up to them, gave her a side-hug, and asked the AFC, "how's this fascist holding up in the debate?" Proves that you can say anything as long as it's accompanied by flirty smile and some kino. -Humor's really easy when there's even a slight language barrier. Their guy friend and I were talking about my work, and he asked me if I've become "omnipotent" when he meant "independent". I came back with "not yet, I haven't gathered ALL the power in the world, but I'm working on it". -If she was away or talking to someone else, I'd immediately start flirting with her female friend, eventually getting some IOIs. 2 birds with one stone--it kept me practicing/in-state and made them compete.
