I’ve seen a girl around on my campus a few times while we’re in the library studying. A few times we’d make eye contact. I told myself I’d approach if I ever spot her one on one. (I will stop using this excuse to not approach; it’s cost me too many times)

Tonight my friend had a pre-game before they went to the club (I didn’t want to go to the club) in which this girl shows up to the pre-game. At one point, I tell one of my friends I am about to leave in which he tries to convince me to stay and she says something like “Whyyy!” Which caught me off-guard being that I never spoke to this girl, I took this to an IOI. They ask me where I’m going in which I won’t tell them exactly; I was vague with my whereabouts. I began striking up a convo with her and my friend (dialed more towards her) in which someone butted in and then it became sidetracked to a degree.

In retrospect, I could’ve and will do a bunch of things differently such as calling her back to finish the conversation and then I leave with her number, push it further and ask her if she wants to join me on my future adventures (or this one), or at least a rejection or some shit other than just ejecting in the manner that I did.

The next time I see this girl, I will approach her and attempt to set something up. I don’t know when I will see her again though, so I’m questioning going through my friend to get her number. How “bad” would this be?

Obviously getting it myself is tremendously better, but who knows when I’ll see her again

I am working on gaming other girls so it won’t be as much of a dilemma, but I am upset with myself for not being escalating more, even if that be for a number close

Should I wait until I see her or have my friend tell her I want her number?
