So I have been lurking around TRP for about three months now and have seen a lot of improvement in my life and I am just generally more happy now because of TRP. However, I am still far away from where I want to be.

Nevertheless, I am here to ask about how my situation is. I have set up two dates for this upcoming Friday. One is a Tinder date, probably a 7, that I was going to take to a sculpture garden and then back to my place after. She seems DTF because I asked her what she is looking for and she said fun. We traded a picture each as well. Also, there is another girl that is in my intro to computer science lab that I would say is a solid 8. In the beginning of the semester she sat next to me for two weeks and then started sitting elsewhere. She asked me for help a bunch the two weeks that she sat by me. I was pretty sure she was trying to use me to help her with the lab, but when she sat somewhere else for the remainder of the semester I was confused and stopped caring. This past Monday I was walking behind her to lab. (Our lab is right after lectures and the two buildings are next to each other). While I was walking behind her she took several glances back at me. Then finally she said hi to me and we talked about random stuff before and a little bit during lab. I did not talk much at all during lab because I wanted to get the lab done. So the little talking we did do was me helping her with something. At the end of the lab I was done and was ready to leave, but I wanted to ask her out before I left. I couldn't since the TA was helping her at the moment. So I just wrote my number down on a small piece of paper that said "text me :)" and she did text me. We set up to meet up after lecture on Friday for coffee.

Today I got a text from my roommate saying there is a party at his Fraternity Friday night. So, I had to choose what I wanted to do. My plan of action right now is to text the Tinder girl Thursday night saying I will be busy and need to reschedule. Probably will suggest Saturday night. Then on Friday, after coffee with the girl from class, I will say that I am going to my friend's frat tonight and she is able to come with. Even if the coffee date blows up I will still go to the party and have fun. Also, if the Tinder girl reschedules I have some pussy in the back pocket.

What are your thoughts on this plan of action? Also, for the Tinder date, should I just skip any plans made beforehand and invite straight to my place?
