Hey guys,

I have a circle of friends that I hang out with frequently, about 6 guys who sometimes bring along their girlfriends or dates. I was wondering if you guys think it's a good idea to invite a girl along with your friends.

I've noticed it allows girls to lower their guard when they see I hang out with other girls and I get to show them how to have a fun night out, but I rarely get a chance to escalate or be intimate with them. Whenever I try to have a 1on1 conversation with them, another friend inevitably jumps into the conversation, cracking a joke, etc. Another example that comes to mind is when I brought a girl back to my car, but then I remembered a friend was passed out drunk in the back seat.

I feel like this may not be the best environment for escalation even though both of us have friendly fun, but what do you guys think?
