Hey guys,

This forum has helped out huge since I read it over the summer I’m back at school and it’s crazy. I have a long way to go but it’s working well. My question has to do with one specific project.

A few weeks back I’m at a bar and talking to a girl whose a mutual friend. Extremely attractive but always assumed I had no shot. But she’s great and funny so it was easy to chat. Anyways she starts getting extremely flirty, drags me to another bar, and over the next few weeks keeps asking me to hang out. I sensed something was up but didn’t want to make a move because I couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to risk rejection. Wrong move, I know. But I’d keep snapping her and I think the lack of a chase got her more interested. Anyways a week ago my friend whose one of her closest friends comes up to me and says she really likes me and she’s too shy to make a move and I need to. I go out with her to a bar and her friend. We talk it up and have good conversations. I was sober the whole night and didn’t escalate but did flirt a good deal. We went back to hers but her friend was there and fell asleep on the couch so the two of us just sat on the couch kinda laying on each other watching a movie and talking. It was nice but I’m now freaking out my lack of escalation is going to end me up in the friendzone. What do I do? Do I need to just get her on a date or just go out with her and have her 1 on 1? Did I fuck up that past week or am I in the clear? So many questions im sorry
