This technically isn't seduction because I'm not actually planning to seduce the girl, but it will be a damn good opportunity to practice game.

I've got a female friend who's recently been through a rather unpleasant time with a bitter little beta male "nice guy". He had the usual modus operandi, became a friend and tried to slowly worm his way into her heart. When he finally realised that she wasn't interested in him that way he turned on her and said some very unpleasant things, which has left her very upset. I've told her I'm taking her out for a meal (told, not asked) and we are going to get dressed up for the occasion. I'm doing this to cheer her up, but I also want to show her some positive alpha male behaviour while I'm doing it.

Now I know that taking a woman out for a meal is commonly beta male behaviour, along with all the other ways they put women on pedestals, but I want to do an alpha male version. I already have a good rapport with this woman, we have a great laugh together and take the piss a lot so the "cocky and funny" angle is nicely covered. Has anyone got any other advice that would help take a woman out to dinner without slipping into beta male territory?

Thankyou for your time.
