Seddit just curious on input really.

Context: Social Circle Gamed , Qualified, Attracted

asked her out she flaked once for seemingly legit reason, rescheduled tonight and picked her up, spent awhile putting myself in alpha state and walked in confident and started with some humor to put her at ease. Went to dinner kino'd what I could since it is hard across a table, playful banter, some well timed negs, disqualifier for fun, shared some stories and then some comfort stories, no close though. But overall it was a good time, here is the mixed signal side of the story. On the way over a guy friend called and asked if she was on a date with another guy(such a random question, who does that?) this kind of put her in an awkwarded zone and she immediatley was like 'haha this is not a date' and kinda looked at me to validate that comment , I said 'were friends' totally forgetting a good cocky/funny line given earlier by another sedditor. And she seemed relieved and kinda got out of her 'shock'. Heres the thing, shes never had a boyfriend before, and previous to me there were like 5-6 other guys chasing after her, but I felt like I truly rised above that with the blatant ioi's she gave out and continued to give out. So my question is how to proceed, do I commence a total communications blackout? do I take a tip from David D and try to turn the mixed signals on her, telling her 'were friends' but then continue gaming as normal while escalating like hell? Or do I just Next?
