I'm an engineering major so I always end up hanging out in 1:x girl to guy ratio situations. How do I navigate these if the girl is of interest? I know, I should find other girls, but every time there is a next girl it's never a one on one thing at the beginning because of mutual friends etc.

My instinct tells me to tell the guy in question that I'm into the girl but it just feels like it could backfire too easily.

Do your worst, I haven't been on here in a while so I'm pretty bluepilled
