I (20M) was at a house party two nights ago hosted by an old friend of mine. Last I'd seen he and all the people there was two years ago during high school years. As such, I looked fairly different. I'd grown a beard, gotten a bit bigger (6' and 173 lbs), and got multiple compliments from many of the guys and girls about this. Just for the hell of it, I tried to see if I could plate (for the first time) at least one of two female friends (HB6 and 7) of mine (who complimented my new look) I hadn't seen for a couple of years. I quickly learned that these two, unlike everyone else, weren't drinking that night because they had to drive home, and they didn't seem the party type based on how they described college years so far. With this, and given that I would rather keep them as friends, I decided to not escalate and have my own fun for the night. I got both their numbers before they left though.

Also both knew me from high school days when I was much more of a beta than however much I am now, so these particular girls may still see me as such, Overall I'd like to know if you think I played it right or if I missed an opportunity. Not sure if I want to plate them in the future for the reasons I described above and because I go back to school in a few days.
