What I want to discuss is how to keep an interaction with a group of girls and how to escalate when in a group setting.

What would be some tips on escalating and on focusing on one girl when in a large group in which you are the only guy without seeming too predatory and "scaring them off"?

For some context: I recently approached agroup of girls, and, as it turns out they are tourists in my country (neither of us are native english speakers, but english is the only way for us to communicate). Its a group of about 7 french girls in which I'm the only guy and the only one who doesnt speak french. We have hung out at night twice now and I think I'm dangerously close to ""just a friend" territory and have come off as a bit too "goofy".

We had a great time and I think they genuinely enjoy my company but sadly I think im not escalating enough and am having trouble focusing on one girl since there are so many.

Another thing I wanted to discuss is what to do when foreign girls revert back to speaking their native language among themselves and how to prevent that from happening.

We are probably meeting up tonight again for some drinks, so I intend to try out some of your advice.
