^ it doesn't matter!! that's an absolute shit excuse. are you going to go out on a date with these other friends of hers as well, are you paying for all the 35% of them including her? who cares about them?
if she's with her friends:
(brackets are just my inner thoughts lol)
*with confidence, clean shirt of course.
-hey could i borrow you for a quick sec? (move you know 7 - 8 steps away, therefore she sees her friends and isn't creeped the fuck out still comfortable, plus her friend is probably on bitch patrol and seeing if she's alright, just ready to cockblock)
-hey so your (the girl i'm afraid to talk to and keep finding excuses to name), how's it going?
*make small talk (don't wet your pants op)
-anyways, i just wanted to ask if you wanted to grab a bite or a drink sometime?
-awesome, how about you give me your number and i'll give you a call? (not: can you give me, or please give me, or will you give me? don't set a time, leave em guessing)
call her 7 days later
if she's by herself:
-hi, hows it going?
-so you're a friend of (your bestfriend's name) huh? (makes her slightly comfortable, that you guys have a mutual friend i guess? breaks the barrier, somewhat. plus ice breaker)
-that's cool, how did you guys meet? (just because, open ended questions you know)
-really? i wouldn't expect that. (i really don't care how, change the subject enough talking about him. leave all the other guys aside. next subject)
-so hows life? what do you do? (it'll be me, in about 3 weeks heh

)
-really?
-hey looks like your friends are coming, it was nice talking to you could i get your number? maybe we can do something together sometimes? "no" then you can go cry, chances are it'll be a sure or a yes, but read her response. is there any hesitation or is she delighted to? little details.
-see u around (smile)
i would have done something different since this sounds wayyy too generic and nice of me for my liking but i have no response/girl. so this will have to do for you anyways, rook
remember like an interview you're trying to please them, so eye contact is crucial. smile, read her body language.
not the greatest script, completely improvised but whatever it works. get that number, don't come back till you do. once you have that number, her friends are goneeeeeee adios. they can't hear what you and her say over the phone. then it doesn't matter whether you're good with the 35% or hated by them all, who cares? you have her full undivided attention. don't fuck it up.
don't text, seriously don't.
if you're one of those hongers that hang out in large groups, then yeah this isn't going to work like at all. honestly, i don't know how to work around them, nor do i want too. maybe because i'm westernized? idk w/e, i rather sleep with something with a couple more pounds anyways and english only for me.
