So I went from nothing to something from the past 2 years, including better body and social skills (overall, not only with grills ), but one thing that still bothers me and I don't know how to deal with it is the fact that people are attached to people they knew.

My campus is small and people kinda know eachother by name, so I can't just go straight forward hitting on everyone I see because that would look bad, so while I don't really care about the specific girl, I feel like going for more than 1 is out of question, at least straight forward pickups.

What I don't know how to deal is the fact that they have friends (I had none for 2 years and counting), and they don't give a fuck about random people.

if rejection comes, I can't rely on the numbers because it would look bad, so I feel like I should insist on one specific girl because of that.

The problem is, I would have to overcome her friends, and I'm bad at that.

I was thinking about either getting close to one of her friends and try to get them to help me out, or straight forward cheesy pickup and then developing something from that.

Advice?
